experts.
Consumer reviews of experienced New Hampshire exterminators are available on Angies List.
Although we always recommend hiring a professional, you can also try and treat the problem yourself. The key is to use the correct combination of products (using only 1 spray for example will not both kill bed bugs on contact and provide lasting protection). To save money we suggest purchasing either an organic or insecticide based bed bug kit.
