Hard to Find Bed Bugs in Your Home, Hotel or Business

 

There is a bug that seems to be out there but most people don’t think it will ever happen to them! We are talking about bed bugs. Bed bugs are a pest that infests a home quickly and can hide under the radar for some time. Bed bugs are known for many things and one of them is how hard they are to find. They stay hidden in a mattress or piece or furniture in the cracks and crevices. These areas are plenty big for the tiny pest to stay out of sight. They hide in the day time and come out at night when a person starts to fall asleep. Bed bugs then feed on the blood of that person. This can cause some annoying bites and irritation on their exposed skin. This can also be the first sign that you have bed bugs and you need to call a professional to come out and treat your home.

How To Inspect For Bed Bugs: If you have seen some signs of bed bugs you want to contact a pest control company that offers inspections. The first step in treatment is what is necessary to determine the infestation and how bad it is and what areas need to be treated. The best way to inspect for bed bugs is to look for the signs. Besides bed bug bites, you can look for small specks of blood that can be found on mattresses, sheets and pillows. You may also find cast skins that the bed bugs have shed or smell a distinctive odor. You can also find the actual bed bug itself that can be seen moving around the edges of mattresses and furniture if you look very, very closely. You need to be diligent and look carefully to ensure that you have found all the areas that are infested.

What Is The Best Way To Treat Bed Bugs: There are several ways that a bed bug infestation can be treated and removed from your home. One of the ways is to use chemicals that are specifically manufactured to treat bed bugs. The treatment is usually applied in a series and will take some time to treat and remove. It will have to be treated more than once. Another way that bed bugs are treated and killed off is by heat treatment. If you want to use a treatment that is safe for anyone to be around this may be the option for you. The great thing about heat is that it can go through the entire affected area and get deep inside all of your belongings to get to the bugs that are hiding. It will start to draw them out and cause them to die off.
