BedBugs

Infestations by Bedbugs are on the rise and getting worse. Companies that were getting one to two calls a year for these kind of pest problem are now getting calls once or twice a week for this problem. The incident rate has multiplied over fifty times! If you’re having a problem, call pest control professionals as these little insects are very resilient and very elusive.

Bed bugs get their names from the fact that most of their meals come from people sleeping in beds. They can feed on any warm blooded mammal but prefer humans. Coming out at night, they will bite you and suck your blood. While they do not transmit diseases, the bites they give can become red and itchy welts.

Bedbugs tend to be brown in color or red if just after feeding. They like to travel and will hide in boxes, shoes and suitcases to be near a food source, namely a human. They are nocturnal, which means they are awake and active during the night, and hide very well behind baseboards, electrical switch plates, picture frames, and even wall paper.

Again, if you wake up with red welts that were not there when you went to sleep, you may have a bedbug infestation. Call a pest control specialist to take care of the problem and you can sleep easy again.
