BED BUGS

 

Bed bugs are among the most feared pests because of how difficult they are to eliminate.  It is believed that only dirty homes get infested, but the truth is any home, hotel, movie theater, or other public place is susceptible to bed bugs.  They can "hitchhike" from one place to another.  The sooner you tackle an infestation the better it will be for you, your family, and business.

 

What are Bed Bugs?

  • Small insets with a flat and oval shaped body that is brownish if not fed recently. They are reddish brown, balloon-like, and elongated if they recently fed.

  • They are good at hiding and typically feed on the blood of people and animals while they are sleeping.

  • They can cause infections at bite sites.

How to Prevent an Infestation?

  • When staying in a hotel room, always inspect the room especially the mattresses and sheets.

  • Inspect children's belongings when they return home from school or daycare.

  • Always inspect second-hand goods before bringing them into your home.

  • Reduce the clutter in your home to eliminate hiding places.
