HOW to GET RID of BED BUGS

Bed bugs are a nocturnal type of bug, who will feast on your blood when you are asleep. During the day, bed bugs will hide in crevices and cracks. Bed bugs are about 3/16" long and are broadly oval and flat. Their color is brown to reddish brown (if they have been fed). Bud bugs can survive up to 6-7 months if they are well-fed and feed on other animals if humans are not present. They have a repulsively sweet odor when they are present. Bed bugs can enter your home in possible scenarios such as : transporting by lugage from hotels, homes, and apartments, pre-used furniture, (bed frames and mattresses are at a high risk of having bed bugs with their eggs present), bed bugs can be present in empty apartments hiding in cracks and crevices and last, they can travel between close apartments through voids in walls and holes through where wires and pipes pass. Bed bugs are difficult to treat at once, they will have to be treated multiple number of times.

INSPECTION

Bed bugs can be found in cracks and crevices, folds between mattresses, box covers, bed sheets, blankets, box springs, and fabrics. They can also be found in wood bed frames (where they join together), wall hangings such as picture frames, night stands, stuffed furniture, baseboards, floorboard cracks, behind loose wallpaper, light switches, door and window frames, conduits, and in wall voids.
