What Are Bed Bugs?
We all know the saying, “Sleep tight. Don’t let the bed bugs bite.” While they may seem like a fantasy item to some, bed bugs are real, and can be a nuisance when they infest a home.
What do bed bugs look like? They are flat with a reddish-brown coloring. Bed bugs are an oval shape and compare in size to an apple seed.
Their main food source is blood. After feeding, they will look slightly swollen and redder.
Crevices within your home are a common place bed bugs inhabit. They can be found in mattress seams, furniture, sheets, picture frames, behind baseboards, and underneath electrical outlet covers.
Hotels are a prime spot for bed bugs to nest because they have the ability to move between rooms making their way into various visitors’ belongings.
Reasons for Concern
A female bed bug lays up to five eggs a day. The total lifetime egg count for a female can be as high as five hundred eggs. With the right room temperature and food supply, bed bugs are capable of living for nine months or longer.
After doing some math, you can see how bed bugs can quickly go from a couple of pests to a very large infestation. A professional is your only effective option once this point has been reached.
Bed bugs are not easy to detect. Their size and regular nesting places make them difficult to spot.
A couple of signs to look for include a very sweet, distasteful smell and blood spotting on sheets, mattresses, and other furniture. Since human blood is a bed bugs main source of food, bites are common.
They use the blood to mature and have offspring. The good news is that these pests do not carry diseases that can affect humans.
Their bites are not noticeable for many days and are not painful. However, they do cause irritation for some people that include itching, welts, and swelling.
Getting Rid of Bed Bugs
Identifying the infestation is the most important step to bed bug removal. Once the source has been found, removal begins by eliminating all hiding places.
This is easily done by removing all clutter in the vicinity. Common removal methods include vacuuming, linen cleaning, steam cleaning, and additional mechanical techniques.
Steam cleaning creates a temperature that bed bugs and their eggs cannot survive. Home removal products are available to treat bed bug infestations, but in most cases they prove to be ineffective when they are present in large numbers.
These pests need to be identified before applying any type of treatment. It is important to read the label of any over-the-counter product chosen for extermination.
You can receive the most effective treatments by calling an expert in pest removal.
Our experienced pest removal technicians can inspect your home or business for bed bugs and recommend effective extermination treatments.
