What Are the Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation?
Preventing bed bugs is extremely challenging. However, there are a few key signs to look for to catch an infestation early on:
- Check sheets for blood spots. If bed bugs are feeding, it is not uncommon to squish them after they’ve had a meal.
- Adult bed bugs are visible, and are about the shape and size of an apple seed. They range from very red and oblong, to very brown, depending on how recently they fed. Search your bed and surrounding areas for pests that match this description.
- Bed bugs, like many pests, are also easily identified by their fecal matter. It has the appearance of black ink that has soaked into fabric. Search areas such as electrical outlets, under furniture, in cracks and crevices of mattresses and box springs for these stains.
- If you suspect you have a bed bug problem, contact us. Our technicians do all of the prep in business and homes to keep employees, visitors, and families free from infestation.
Common FAQS
Question: What Attracts Bed Bugs to Your Home?
Bed bugs are attracted to the presence of people, as they feed on human blood. They’re drawn in by body heat, the carbon dioxide we exhale, and our natural body odor. Common sources include used furniture, mattresses, or luggage brought in after travel. Cluttered or dark areas also provide ideal hiding spots, making it easier for bed bugs to go unnoticed and multiply.
Question: How Long Does Your Bed Bug Treatment Take?
The length of a bed bug treatment depends on the size of the space and the severity of the infestation. On average, a single treatment visit can take anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. Some situations may require multiple visits over several weeks to fully eliminate the infestation. Your technician will provide a clear timeline based on your specific needs.
Question: Will One Treatment Get Rid of Bed Bugs?
In many cases, one professional treatment may not be enough to completely eliminate a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs are highly resilient and can hide in small cracks or go dormant, making them difficult to fully eliminate with a single visit. Most effective treatment plans involve multiple visits, monitoring, and follow-up treatments to ensure all life stages, including eggs, are fully eradicated.
