Over the last few years there we have seen a steady increase in bed bug infestations across the country. Often people panic when they discover that there are bed bugs in their home, which is understandable, but quite often it is through no fault of theirs that bed bugs have appeared.
Over the last few years there we have seen a steady increase in bed bug infestations across the country. Often people panic when they discover that there are bed bugs in their home, which is understandable, but quite often it is through no fault of theirs that bed bugs have appeared. Bed bugs can hitch a ride on many things, from someone’s clothing to luggage, and then return home with them from a trip elsewhere and grow in number once reaching the house.
Bed bugs are tiny bugs that can be rather difficult to detect – particularly because they come out primarily at night in order to feed. You are not as likely to see them during the day because they are off in their hiding places, such as in the mattress seams, on the underside of the box spring or even behind a headboard.
Bed bugs can be difficult to get rid of because of their ability to hide in numerous places – including outside of the bed area, such as in picture frames and in carpeting. Often people who attempt to get rid of bed bugs on their own only discover later that the pests have returned. Professional help is always advised if you believe you have a bed bug problem. Remember, you can always receive free estimates from a good pest control company.
Qualified pest technicians know exactly what to look for and where to look for bed bugs. Depending upon what they find, they will leave you with information regarding the bugs and what needs to be done in order to rid your home of them. This can include a quote and a prep sheet. However, if the technician doesn’t find anything, he or she may decide to leave a trap in order to check for bugs. When they come back, if there are indeed bed bugs in the trap, then they will have a much clearer idea of what they are dealing with.
