Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs in Alaska?? — Unfortunately, YES!
Actually, there has always been the occasional outbreak around the State, but never in our 46 year history at the high levels seen now. Because they are an indoor pest and travel easily, ecologic barriers we see in other pests do not apply. If you travel, you can bring them home. If you visit at any length in an infested location, you can bring them home. If your guest has them at home OR picked them up while traveling your way…well, you get the picture.
For what is likely your best resource for information on this pest, go to Bed Bug Central’s EXCELLENT Website: ![]()

PIED PIPER has researched and chosen what we feel to be the best and safest approach to this problem. We are pleased to announce that we have qualified for the “BED BUG FREE Program. For more information visit:
This approach was developed by one of the leading Bed Bug entomologists in the country. It features the least amount of chemical necessary and a proactive approach to mechanical control options. With this approach, we are in a position to actually offer an elimination guarantee in many instances. It has special promise for our loyal property management firms and landlords, who are now facing the dilemma of how to provide real quality living to their clients while dealing with an adjoining unit experiencing Bed Bugs.
Please do not hesitate to call us. Bed Bugs can reproduce and spread easily and because of this, need immediate attention. Our discreet staff will handle your problem kindly and tactfully.
TIP: If you experience a sudden outbreak of Bed Bugs in the Spring or Fall, it may be their “cousins”, the Swallow or Bat Bug. We first identified the Swallow Bug in Fairbanks in the 80′s. In 2009, we were able to confirm, with the help of a client, the presence of Bat Bugs. Watch for Swallow nests in your eaves, usually made out of mud, or bats entering and leaving your roof area at dusk or dawn.

“Alaska’s Bed Bug Experts”???
or
“The Cowboy’s Lament (Smothers Brothers Version)”
While perusing some competitors’ sites recently, I was reminded of the Smothers Brothers rendition of The Cowboy’s Lament, also known as The Streets of Laredo, originally recorded by several old country performers:
“I can see by your outfit that you are a cowboy.”
“I see by your outfit you are a cowboy too.”
“We see by our outfits that we are both cowboys.
If you get an outfit, you can be a cowboy too.”
If you would like to be an “Expert Something” the qualifications are as follows: Just put it on your web page. See how easy that is?? One claims to be “Alaska’s Carpenter Ant Specialist” another recently started claiming to be “Alaska’s Bed Bug Expert”. HOWEVER, if you want to talk to REAL EXPERTS, call us. 45 years did not make US the newcomers!
[...] sniffing out people for rescue, sniffing drugs and weapons… they even train dogs to sniff out BedBugs. Why not train a dog for sniffing out computer viruses? Think of how much easier it would be to [...]
These nasty little insects have really become a major issue. How can we eradicate them?
It is not really impossible, but it does take skilled technicians and good householer/manager cooperation.
Bed bugs in Alaska? Wow, what is the world coming too? I have a FLIR i7 infrared camera and found a whole army of centipedes living in my walls… creepy! I’m in Washington State and travel to Alaska whenever possible. I will do my part to make sure I don’t bring any creepy-crawlies over with me!
Take care,

Thanks Lee. If only it were that easy, ha ha.
