Testimonials

My name is David.  Recently, I suffered a spate of red welts on my back, accompanied by a rash and itching.  Since I had read that bedbugs have become a problem in the mid-Atlantic region, I suspected that my welts were the result of bedbug bites, and that my bed, and possibly my entire apartment, was infested.

So, I began researching bedbugs, and the means available to exterminate them.  I found that the two primary treatments are heat treatment and chemical treatment.  Of the two, heat treatment is quick and clean, while chemical treatment takes much longer, involves extensive disruption, and may finally prove toxic to the resident.  I chose to go with a company that specializes in heat treatments, and whose sole service is treating bedbugs.  That company is Superior Bed Bug Solutions, owned by Mr. Jesse Jardim.

I called Mr. Jardim to schedule a treatment for my apartment, but Mr. Jardim persuaded me to let him do an inspection first, to see if remediation was actually in order.  As he explained, the cost of the inspection was $150.00, but would be absorbed into the cost of the remediation if such were necessary, and that latter cost, for a large apartment such as mine, could be upwards of $3,000.00.  I agreed to his suggestion, and Mr. Jardim came over promptly as we had scheduled, bringing with him “Sunny,” his very well trained “sniffer” dog.    Mr. Jardin, aided by Sunny, personally inspected my apartment, with me present to assist with moving things, but, also, to allow him to teach me what the signs of an infestation are.  The inspection took two hours, covering my bed and bedding, rugs, furniture, and clothing, not only for the bedroom but also the entire apartment.  Mr. Jardim was very careful and thorough, and, step-by-step, he revealed how there was absolutely no evidence anywhere that the apartment was infested by bedbugs.  As to the welts, he recommended that a dermatologist look at them.  At the end, I was very impressed by the fact that Mr. Jardin’s assurances reflected his honesty as a businessman.  He could easily have convinced me that I needed to have my apartment remediated, at a cost ten to fifteen times the cost of the inspection.  Mr. Jardim’s honesty prompted him to act counter to his own financial interest.  That does impress me.

As to the welts, the following week I consulted my dermatologist, who took one look at my back and concluded, “Oh, that’s just ‘winter itch.’  It will go away when the weather turns humid.”  She cautioned me not to stand too long in the shower, and not to soap my back, since soap further dries the skin.  She also wrote a prescription for a topical cream that cured the problem in two days.  To share what I had learned, I told Mr. Jardim of her diagnosis.  In turn, he asked for this testimonial, which I said I would be happy to provide:  Superior Bed Bug Solutions will give a customer his or her money’s worth.  Mr. Jesse Jardim is an honest businessman.  He knows what he is doing.  He gives good service.
