Commonly Asked Questions

How can I prevent bed bugs from entering my home?

To prevent bed bugs, regularly inspect second-hand furniture before bringing it into your home, seal any cracks or crevices in walls and floors, and be cautious when traveling by checking hotel beds and luggage.

Are bed bugs more common in certain areas or types of homes?

Bed bugs can be found in any type of home or building, but they are more commonly reported in places with high turnover rates, such as hotels, dormitories, and apartments, where people frequently come and go.

Do bed bugs only live in beds?

No, bed bugs can hide in various locations around your home, including furniture, behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets, and in cracks of walls. They are not limited to just beds.

How long can bed bugs live without feeding?

Bed bugs can survive for several months without feeding, depending on environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. In cooler conditions, they can last even longer without a blood meal.

Is it safe to stay in my home during a bed bug treatment?

It depends on the type of treatment being used. Some treatments may require residents to leave the premises for a short period, while others may allow you to remain in your home. Always follow the advice of a pest control professional.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

Bed bugs are difficult to identify because they are so small. They are about the size of an apple seed, and their eggs are even smaller. Because of their small size, bed bugs are often difficult to see with the naked eye. However, if you suspect you have bed bugs, there are several tell-tale signs to look for.

Common signs of a bed bug infestation include:

  • Red, itchy bites on your legs, arms, neck, or face
  • Small blood stains on mattresses or sheets
  • Live or hatched eggs
  • Live bed bugs
  • A musty odor

While it is possible to get a single bite from a bed bug, it is more likely that you will get multiple bites. Some people are allergic to bed bug bites and may experience severe reactions. If you wake up with itchy bites, it is important to inspect your mattress and bed frame for bed bugs.

Bed bugs are difficult to get rid of because of their small size and ability to hide in-between walls, under flooring and baseboards, in electronics, in furniture crevices,  behind photo frames and other inconspicuous areas. They will often travel from place to place on luggage, purses, garage sale finds, clothing, moving vans, etc. so it is important to be aware and keep your home and space free from bed bugs.
