It can be upsetting and embarrassing when you find out that you have bed bugs in your home.
You need to call a company that can exterminate bed bug infestation. A bed bug invasion can result in everyone in the household being bitten by many of these bugs during the night. Bed bug activity is generally at night when everyone is sleeping. They hide in and around the mattress and come out when you still bite you.
When you need bed bug assistance, call on a company with a lot of experience getting rid of these pests.
Rather than using a spray to kill bed bugs, many exterminators use a heating tool that heats the area where the bed bugs are hiding.
Because these bugs can hide in the tiniest of spaces, it isn’t always helpful to use a spray to kill them. However, they can be exterminated when enough heat is applied to the area.
Bed bugs can’t survive past a certain temperature, and using a heating tool means that you won’t have toxic chemicals in and around your bed. So when you can get rid of bed bugs, it will be a relief to everyone.
Bed bugs are one of the most annoying pests to invade your home. Not only are they hard to get rid of, but they’re also often difficult to identify in your home.
Here are some tips to identifying whether or not you have bed bugs.
Your skin is irritated
Although bed bugs aren’t known to spread diseases, they can still cause a few frustrating health issues. Bed bugs rely on mammal hosts to survive; as such you might wind up with a few blister-like bites that grow even worse if you have an allergic reaction.
You’ll likely find these bite marks on your face, chest, arms, and legs when you wake up. Bed bugs often feed on their hosts at night for the least resistance. Bed bugs are able to anesthetize their host when they bite so you won’t wake up.
You spot exoskeletons
Bed bugs are a molting bug. This means they leave behind an exoskeleton when they molt. Finding one of these is a sure sign your home has bed bugs. You’ll likely find these in the folds of your mattress or sheets along with rust-colored spots since bed bug excrement is tainted with blood.
You hire an exterminator
If you suspect you have bed bugs but aren’t showing the symptoms associated with them, you can always call an exterminator or other pest control service. Commercial pest control services use a number of ways to detect bed bugs, and they will be able to give you a definitive answer when you suspect you have them.
Susceptible locations
Any household is at risk for contracting bed bugs, but some homes are more prone to infestation than others. Apartment buildings and hotels are notorious for bed bugs. It only takes one room to potentially infect an entire building, especially if you use shared laundry facilities. 95% of exterminators most commonly find bed bugs in apartment buildings while 93% find them in family homes. Another 75% find them in hotels and motels.
