6 Things To Know About Bed Bugs

We’ve all heard the phrase “sleep tight, don’t let the bed bugs bite”. The phrase seems innocent, but its actually rooted in truth. Bed bugs are an unfortunate part of reality, and anyone can get them. Many of us aren’t aware of how to spot them or treat for them. Here’s a quick guide with 6 things every family should know about bed bugs.

1. Bed Bugs require chemical treatments to remove. Although you can clean a lot of areas in your home where bed bugs like to live and you can remove dead bed bugs on your own, bed bugs typically will not go away on their own or through standard cleaning procedures. A professional bed bug exterminator knows how to use the proper chemicals that kill bed bugs. These chemicals are safe for use in areas that you sleep in, which is where bed bugs typically live. Bed bugs have become increasingly resistant to chemical treatments, but we stay on top of the latest in bed bug killing technology and heat treatments.
2. Bed bugs are found everywhere. You may feel embarrassed to find that you have bed bugs, but a bed bug infestation is not indicative of poor cleaning practices or poor hygiene. Bed bugs are a hardy species and can live almost anywhere. Bed bugs have been known to infest many large department stores as well as other places you may visit.
3. Bed bugs may leave bloodstains. One of the tell tale signs of bedbugs is blood stains on the sheets. The blood stains could indicate a crushed bed bug, or they may be the result of a bed bug’s excretion.  Many people don’t feel the bites of bed bugs, so these blood stains may be your only clue that you have an infestation.
4. Bed bugs don’t only bite at night. Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs do come out during the daytime to feed. If a bed bug is hungry, it will come out to seek out food no matter what time of day it is.
5. Bed bugs can bite you without you feeling it. Bed bugs can sometimes bite you without causing any pain. Fortunately, bed bug bites don’t requiring medical treatment, but they can be uncomfortable for some people.
