Everything You Ever (or Never) Wanted to Know About Bed Bugs

Over recent years, bed bug infestations have surged in the United States. And it doesn’t matter if the home or bed is clean and pristine or in need of some TLC—bed bugs don’t discriminate. They create problems in homes, apartment units, and five-star hotels all the same. 

These opportunistic vermin often like to hide out in different parts of a person’s bed during the day. And because they’re so small, they’re usually hard to detect. But when you decide to turn in for the night, that’s when they get active. 

There are two types of bed bugs: C. lectularius and C. hemipterus. Thankfully, neither is known to carry diseases. But their bite is often irritating and painful. It can cause itching and burning, which may lead to infection after vigorous scratching. And, because they can multiply rapidly, their bites will also multiply if they’re left unchecked. 

Aside from their bite, bed bugs will often provide several clues to let you know there’s a problem. For one thing, when they molt, they’ll leave their exoskeletons behind for you to find. And they can also produce a musty and sickeningly sweet smell in the infested area.

But the most unsettling by far has to be the reddish-brown spots they leave on beds and furniture from blood-filled fecal material. That’s right—when they bite, they’re also making a meal of your blood. And they can live for several months before their next one if necessary. So, when you think you may have a bed bug problem, it pays to get in touch with pest control professionals as soon as you can.
