Bed Bug Treatment, Removal, & Extermination
Believe us when we say that bugs do so much more than just bite. They take over your home and refuse to leave — unless you take drastic action!
These critters squeeze into cracks in floorboards, baseboards, walls, and electrical outlets — so only a pest control expert can solve this problem for good.
How to Check for Bed Bugs
These creatures normally leave reddish-brown marks on sheets and mattresses, so check every bed in your home. Also, check for any cracks in your headboard or bed frame.
Bed bugs leave red and itchy bumps all over your skin. However, people often mistake these lumps for other types of insect bites, such as those from mosquitoes.
What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
Like the marks they leave behind, adult bed bugs are normally reddish-brown and don’t have any wings. Sometimes, you might even see them with the naked eye crawling on your sheets or mattress. Adult bed bugs are about the size of apple seeds, though smaller ones (nymphs) are more difficult to spot. They are more yellowy-white in color.
What Damage Can Bed Bugs Cause?
Although they don’t normally pose serious health risks, these pesky creatures feed on your blood and their bites can be painful and take days or even weeks to heal.
Who wants to walk around with bright red blotches all over their body?
Sometimes, bed bugs can lead to more issues. Scratching bed bug bites can lead to secondary skin infections, such as impetigo, ecthyma, and lymphangitis
Some people are allergic to bed bugs, and this is where things get really serious. Even the smallest of bites can lead to a severe whole-body reaction, which might be life-threatening.
That’s why you need to solve this problem right now.
