How Does The Infestation Work?

The infestation typically starts when bed bugs enter the building by hitchhiking on luggage, clothing, used items, and others to look for food. Once they find themselves in the house, they prefer to hide in cracks and crevices near the food source. Common places are mattresses, boxes, bed frames, etc. 

They are nocturnal animals and typically feed at night by piercing the skin with elongated beaks. After feeding, they will hide themselves again to digest and reproduce. A female bed bug can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime, leading to rapid reproduction growth.

Bed bug infestations are typically difficult to spot due to their tiny size and until you realize it, the infestations are usually out of hand. They are one of a few of those pests that directly affect humans and pets in the house because they feed on mammals’ blood. If you ever find yourself waking up in the morning with bites on the skin, blood stains on bedding, or dark spots (bed bug excrement) on mattresses and sheets, then that’s the sign of bed bug infestation.

Elimination Tips

Bed bug treatment can be done by yourself easily at home by following these steps:

  1. Identify infested areas by using flashlight and magnifying glass to check common hiding spots. Look for signs like dark spots and musty odors which typically indicate their excrement.
  2. Declutter the area and other places, especially your bed and mattresses.
  3. Vacuum your home thoroughly and regularly and dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag outside your home. Moreover, don’t forget to wash and dry bedding, clothing and other infested items at high temperatures to kill bed bugs and their eggs.
  4. Apply bed-bug specific insecticides to infested areas and follow the instructions carefully.
