Some battles can be fought and won in a day. Others are ongoing. The battle against bed bugs is one that never completely ends. To save your home from a bed bug infestation, you need to be aware that they can appear any time of year. These troublesome pests live around humans and can survive the colder temperatures of winter since they live inside instead of out in the cold. They may be resilient and determined, but the pest control professionals at The Original Bugman Pest Elimination, Inc. know the weapons that work best against these pests.
Identify an Infestation
Bed bugs are hard to see and very good at hiding. They can range in color from pale tan to dark brown, and they hide in soft places like mattresses, bedding, furniture, carpets, rugs, clothes, bags, and more. Bed bugs can even hide inside electronics, and they often travel unseen. You may realize you have an infestation when you see dark spots on your bed. This could be the bed bugs themselves, their shed skin, their fecal matter, or even drips from their latest blood meal. You may also begin noticing red welts on your skin. Often found in lines or clusters, bed bug bites can appear anywhere that your skin was exposed overnight. If you see any of these signs, it’s time to contact the professionals.
Important Things to Know
Bed bugs aren’t dangerous in the sense that their bites are poisonous or that they carry disease or destroy your property. However, they can cause problems of their own. For one, their bites can leave an itch that lasts for days, and scratching can result in an infection. Enough bites can also cause anemia. Plus, bed bug bites throughout the night can cause sleep problems which can affect everything you do during the day. Bed bugs spread quickly, and an infestation can become chronic and quite serious, very fast.
Bed Bug-Free Home
Some people think that bed bugs only exist in unclean places, but this isn’t true. They’ll live anywhere where it is warm and protected. They can come in on a person, in clothing, in electronics, in furniture… Then they’ll hide in any available space in your home and multiply quickly. You may think you can beat them by using store-bought chemical sprays, but these are rarely effective. You probably won’t be able to spray every bed bug since you won’t know where they’re hiding. And many chemicals only work on adult bed bugs.
To fully squash an infestation you need to kill bed bugs in every stage of development. So, how do you win the battle against bed bugs?
