These flat, oval parasites are a real nuisance. Unlike some insects, bed bugs can’t fly, but they’re experts at hitching rides. They feed exclusively on blood, targeting humans and warm-blooded animals. With more people traveling globally, bed bugs are becoming more common, especially in places like hotels where people sleep in different beds. Ignoring an infestation can lead to big problems, as a single female can lay hundreds of eggs that hatch into adults in just a few weeks. If you suspect bed bugs, call a pest control professional for effective treatment.

Typical Signs of Bed Bugs
Bedbugs are nocturnal feeders, meaning they come out at night, typically just before dawn, to sneakily feed on their hosts.
Their bites often resemble mosquito bites, appearing as itchy, red to whitish lumps on the skin. These pests are quite small, with adults only reaching about 3-4mm in size. Due to their size, they’re adept at hiding in various places around your bed: (behind folds and seams of the mattress, inside bedding, within cracks of the bed frame, behind wallpaper, or even inside furniture and upholstery near the bed). While spotting them can be a challenge due to their size, their bites and preferred hiding spots can serve as signs of an infestation.

Where infestations are more severe, tiny blood stains or their fecal matter can also be seen on the bedding.
Why the need for a Bed Bug Treatment?
