Bed Bugs

A Bed Bug Infestation Can Cause Significant Problems to Your Loved Ones & Guests

A bedbug infestation is a serious problem, and getting rid of the tiny pests can turn your life into a living nightmare. Once you've caught sight of one bed bug, you can be sure that there are hundreds, if not thousands of others lying in wait to inflict painful and itchy bites on your skin. So what exactly do bed bugs look like, and what are your options for bed bug treatments? 

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, flat insects that are a reddish-brown color and approximately one-quarter inch long. They’ve been around for thousands of years, and these insects feed on blood. Bed bugs get into a home or property from other items that come from infested places, including used furniture, luggage, purses, backpacks, and more. They can also move between rooms in apartments or hotels. Bed bugs hide during the day on beds, cracks, furniture, and wall crevices. They come out at night to feed, which is why people wake up with small bites or tiny bloodstains on the covers.

Early Signs of Bed Bugs in Your Home:

  • Itchy, small red bites on skin
  • Bloodstains on sheets or pillowcases
  • Dark or rusty spots of bedbug excrement
  • Bedbug eggshells or shed skins
  • Musty odor from the bugs’ scent glands
