How To Identify a Bed Bug Infestation

Bed bugs have become a common pest in recent years that can be found seemingly everywhere, including homes, movie theaters and much more. With the proliferation of these pests that has happened in recent years, picking up bed bugs can happen to anyone at any point. If you suspect these blood-sucking pests are in your home or business, here is how you can identify a bed bug infestation.

Mystery Bites

Bed bugs can be extremely secretive, with many individuals sharing a bed with them not knowing they are there until they begin receiving strange bites on their bodies. Bed bugs require a blood meal for survival, generally spending roughly 10 minutes feeding before becoming engorged with blood. However, finding mystery bites isn’t a tell-tale sign that bed bugs are present because they could be coming from a different source.

Traces of Bed Bugs

Much like other pests, bed bugs have a tendency to leave behind signs of their presence. When dealing with a bed bug infestation, it is not uncommon to find small blood spots on your bedsheets or skin casings and rust colored feces in the piping of your mattress. If any of these signs are observed in your bed or similar area, it could signify a larger problem that will require professional assistance.

Live Bed Bugs

Seeing a live bed bug is generally one of the easiest ways to determine if they have made their way into your home or business. When found, try to trap one of these pests in a sealed container to allow a pest control specialist to observe it. This can help determine if you are actually dealing with bed bugs or another similar looking pest and implement bed bug control.

When the weather turned cold, we had hundreds of wasps try to enter our home to find warmth. Despite it being afternoon on a Friday with no appointment, Pied Piper came out when I called and handled the wasp problem. Gene Pearson was great. He went above and beyond. Highly recommend!
