Bed Bug Elimination

The cleanest home or business is not safe from Bed Bug infestation. Personal cleanliness is not a defense either. Regardless of cleanliness, Bed Bugs travel into homes and businesses on anything people carry or wear as they ride in on clothing, luggage, and just about anything else. Bed Bugs don’t feed on food or dirt, they only feed on you. They show behaviors indicating that they know when they have arrived in a new location, and they set up housekeeping quickly. They are prolific breeders when they find a suitable food source, and once they have infested a new location, their population can grow quickly.  

Bed Bugs feed on human blood, usually while you or your family are asleep. They are hard to see, even when an infestation is heavy. Bed Bugs conceal themselves in very small spaces and can live between feedings for long periods hidden away from view. They are typically hiding between feedings in mattresses and box springs, and among ordinary household items and especially clothes and linens. Household pets and other types of pests, like rodents, can carry Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs are dangerous to your health. They feed by biting and attaching to humans until they are full of blood. They will feed on any exposed skin, and usually attack areas of skin not covered with hair. Bed Bug bites can cause allergic reactions and painful rashes. The usual indications of Bed Bug bites are pain and itchiness along with red blisters that look like common insect bites. These symptoms can take days to appear, and people often think Bed Bug bites are outdoor insect bites like mosquito bites or fleas. The bites are usually closely grouped on a victim’s body, and the symptoms last longer than most other types of insect bites.

You and your family’s mental well-being are also at risk when Bed Bugs appear. The stress associated with Bed Bug infestation can cause significant sleep disruption and anxiety.

Once your property has been infested with Bed Bugs, they can be very difficult to get rid of without professional treatments. Store-bought pesticides will not get rid of them, and they will take over an entire home in a short period of time. Bed Bugs have been found to have developed significant tolerances and resistance to poisons currently available for purchase by the public. You will need the help of a professional’s expertise and experience to examine your property for Bed Bugs and get rid of them permanently.
