Signs you might have bed bugs
Bed bugs can be obvious, if you know where to look. The problem is, by the time most people know they have a bed bug infestation, the damage is already done and the professionals have to be called in to control those nasty critters. There are a few things to look out for that may assist you in identifying a bed bug problem at its early stages.
- BLOOD STAINS
If you’re seeing little specks of blood on your sheets, mattress, or pillow—this could be a sign of bedbugs. Make sure you call a professional immediately if you notice a pattern.
- BEDBUG POOP
Bed bug excrement can have a rusty or dark appearance. This poop will typically transfer to your sheets, mattress, or clothes. Bed bug excrement means you have a serious bedbug problem.
- STINK
One thing many people don’t realize about bed bugs is this; THEY STINK. Bedbugs have glands that produce a musty smell. If you have a lingering musty smell in your home and can’t find the culprit, there’s a chance it could be bed bugs.
Bed bug removal process
There are two main treatments for bed bugs, and both should be handled by the professionals. If not performed correctly, bed bugs may survive the treatment and linger, and spread.
Firstly, is the whole-room heat treatment. Bed bug eggs die within 90 minutes when exposed to heat of 118°F or higher. During a treatment the room is heated well beyond that, ensuring that even eggs that are well insulated die off. A heat treatment can and should last anywhere between 6-8 hours, depending on the room and the severity of the infestation.
Secondly, there are bed bug insecticide treatments. This is the act of actively using insecticides to kill the bed bug colony. This is a very effective way to both kill bed bugs and ensure they never return.
Ways to deter bed bugs
The best way to
remove bed bugs is to never have them at all. It’s important when buying second hand furniture, to check it all very thoroughly for any signs of bed bugs before it enters your home. Also, using a protective covering on your mattress can ensure that bed bugs have less places to hide out.
