Bed Bugs - Everything you Need to Know

Let’s start with the most basic question: what are actually bed bugs?

Bed bugs are the parasites that feed on your blood. Their bites can lead to a number of health complications, including psychological effects, skin rashes and allergic reactions. The bugs skin changes caused by beg bugs bites range from small areas of redness to prominent blisters.

Generally speaking, bed bugs are most active during the night. These wingless insects go into hiding during the day. Bed bugs favourite hiding spots include, beds, furniture, box springs, mattress seams and many more.

 

Bed Bug Behaviour

Bed bugs are considered hitchhikers. They’re often brought into our home in a suitcase, a backpack, a bag, or a purse. Usually, these bugs are found on or around the bed, but they can be located anywhere in your home.

These parasites or bugs can crawl into your bag on a train or airplane, during a ride on a rideshare service, or while at an old movie theatre. Afterward, you bring parasite contaminated bag into your home, and voila, the bed bug infestation has begun!

Although bed bugs cannot jump or fly, they are capable climbers and walkers. These parasites can climb wooden or metal legs to find a blood meal. According to a study, the bed bug can walk around 1 meter per minute and can happily travel up to 5 meters from their actual hiding spot.

Check for Bed Bugs

Due to their small size, spotting a bed bug can be troubling. Generally speaking, these parasites are located near the bed, where they have easy access to their hosts. However, a bed bug colony can grow quite rapidly. So, as the bug infestation grows, their prime hiding spot can become overcrowded.

While locating a bug infected area, you should pay close attention to crevices and cracks near your bed. You can use a flat-edged object, such as credit card or paint scraper, flashlight, and a magnifying glass to find these tiny bugs. In some rare cases, you might need to take apart bed frame or headboard to adequately check for bed bugs.

Here are some of the most common hiding spots for bed bugs:

  • Behind baseboards
  • Carpet near the wall
  • Inside electrical appliances
  • Folds of curtains
  • Picture frames and wall hangings
  • Electrical outlets
  • Seams of chairs and couches

Signs of Bed Bug infestation

Bed bugs bite can cause both physical and mental issues. If you wake up with an itchy back, you might be dealing with bed bugs – especially if you’ve just got a used furniture.

The first sign of a bed bug problem is itchy skin and redness. Besides skin changes, there are numerous other symptoms of bed bug infestation, including:

  • Blood stains or pillowcases and sheets
  • musty, offensive odor
  • Shed skins, egg shells, and fecal spots in areas where bed bugs hide
  • Dark and rusty spots on walls, bed clothes, and mattresses.
  • Itchy bites and sleepless nights

Are Bed Bugs hard to control?

The faster you try to eradicate bed bugs, the better. however, this process is not that simple. For bed bugs infestation, you cannot use a can of cockroach or bug spay that you can keep under your kitchen sink. To get rid of these parasites, you need to follow a step-by-step guide with proper equipment.

Here are some of the most significant reasons why bed bugs are incredibly hard to control:

Bedbug Behaviour – Because of their intrinsic behaviour, the habits and activities of these tiny insects are pretty hard to control. These parasites usually enjoy a secretive lifestyle: they’re mostly active at night and quite hard to find at day.

Growth Rate – Bed bugs can multiply rapidly. Naturally, the actual numbers of eggs that a female parasite lays in her whole life depends upon several factors, including the access to the host. On average, a female bed bug can lay around 113 eggs in her life, which can multiply every sixteen days.

Pesticide Resistant – most pest sprays have Pyrethroids – a chemical used to kill pests. most pyrethroids are extremely toxic to pets and people. however, most bed bugs have developed a resistance against these chemicals. as a result, they are quite hard to get rid of.

What People Say

“We moved into our first home over 2 years ago, and EPM pest control has been nothing short of reliable, friendly and all round amazing.

We usually have Eddy come by to do our termite and pest control, however we had Mahdi come out this time, and he was exceptional. Highly knowledgeable and so understanding of us having to work from home and working around us in our office space etc.

Highly recommend EPM pest control!“

Debbie Singh

"We contacted EPM after finding his professional informative website. Eddy contacted us rapidly and arrived at our house soon after. His inspection was thorough after we showed him the termite damage we had uncovered in one room. We opted for a complete barrier treatment around our house. We feel assured that Eddy uses the best quality products applied thoroughly. This treatment has given us peace of mind, our property is now protected against further damage. Our biggest regret is being in denial and not calling the very friendly Eddy a lot sooner as further renovations have uncovered evidence of more termite damage. I have no hesitation in recommending Eddy. He is patient, a great communicator, and his work is of the highest standard. Termites gone!”

Virginia Wind

“The technician that came and did the inspection and treatment was terrific! He was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Both my husband and I were very impressed with him. He had a great attitude and went out of his way to work in with us regarding the timing. It was greatly appreciated. Highly recommended!“
