Bed bugs are nasty little bugs attracted to the warm blood of humans. Since they like to hide underneath mattresses, they often feast on human blood as people lie asleep at night.

That is when you’ll know you need to contact a pest control professional immediately.

DETECTION
Bed Bug Activity
Bed bugs can prove hard to spot initially as they are active at night and adept at hiding in dark places during the day. They most often hide in crevices and in spaces between mattresses and box springs, on bed frames and headboards, and between the couch and chair cushions. Although less common, they can also be found in dressers, in and on nightstands, luggage, electrical outlets, and amongst surrounding clutter. Once they infest a room, they often travel to adjacent rooms.
IDENTIFYING BED BUGS
Bed Bug Bites
At night, bed bugs travel from their hiding places to feed on sleeping host animals. They insert their long needle-like mouthparts into the skin, inject saliva which digests blood cells, and drink up the digested blood. As the abdomen fills with blood, it turns bright red, dark red-brown, or blackish. After feeding, they retreat to their hiding places. They typically feed every 5 – 10 days but can live up to 8 months without feeding.
Unlike many insects that feed on human blood, bed bugs are not known to transmit (vector) any disease-causing bacteria or viruses (pathogens). Reactions to bed bug bites very among individuals. Many victims show no signs of bites. Others don’t realize they’ve been bitten until rash, redness, or swelling appears around the bite, sometimes with intense itching.
PREPERATION BEFORE WE TREAT

- Vacuum & clean the rooms beforehand and bag up in tied bin bags any clothing and textiles that need washing.
- We cannot chemicaly treat any clothing or bedding and mattresses.
