No. You do not need to throw away your beds, mattresses, bed frames, or any furniture. When Knight Pest Control does a heat treatment, the heat eliminates bed bugs completely regardless of what’s in the home — keep everything. Your mattress, your bed frame, your box spring, your recliner — all of it stays.

That said, bed bugs leave fecal staining on mattresses and upholstered furniture that simply won’t come out. Some customers choose not to keep a heavily stained mattress or recliner for cosmetic reasons, and that’s completely understandable. But that’s a personal choice — not a requirement of the treatment.
