Bed-Bugs

These pests can live for several months without a blood meal. This means they can linger in furniture, bags and suitcases for a long time until they are near a human host again.

Problem: Bed-Bug Prevention

When most people think of bed bugs, they think of hotels. But the truth is, bed bugs can thrive in single-family homes, apartments, hospitals, college dorm rooms, office buildings, schools, buses, trains, movie theaters, retail stores and just about anywhere that humans are.

As a survival instinct, bed bugs are elusive. They know to stay out of view during the daytime, hiding in mattress crevices, box springs, baseboards, behind electrical switchplates, in picture frames, and even behind wallpaper. But at nighttime, the carbon dioxide we exhale often tempts them out of their hiding spots.

Everyday Bed Bug Prevention Tips

It is important to be aware of how to prevent bed bugs in your everyday life. Here are some prevention tips to keep in mind regarding how to avoid bed bugs:

Vacuum suitcases after returning from a vacation.
Check your sheets for tell-tale blood spots.
Consider bringing a large plastic trashbag to keep your suitcase in during hotel stays.
Carry a small flashlight to assist you with quick visual inspections.
Never bring second-hand furniture, especially mattresses and box springs, into a home without thoroughly examining for signs of a bed bug infestation. You might consider having a pest control professional inspect the furniture as it is difficult to detect an infestation without training.
Regularly inspect areas where pets sleep for signs of bed bugs.
Bed bugs are elusive creatures, so it is imperative to seek professional pest control assistance to address an infestation.

Signs of Infestation

Bites: Red, itchy welts on the skin, often in a line or cluster. However, not everyone reacts to bed bug bites.
Fecal Spots: Tiny black or dark brown spots on sheets, mattresses, or walls.
Shed Skins: Bed bugs molt as they grow, leaving behind shed skins.
Live Bugs: Seeing the actual insects, especially in mattress seams or furniture cracks.
Odor: A musty, sweet odor may be noticeable in heavily infested areas.
