A Clean and Bed Bug Free Home in Normal is just a call away..
In just six months, a female bed bug can lay up to 500 eggs, leading to extremely rapid infestations. Unfortunately, no place is truly safe from these nighttime vampires as they are masters of hiding and hitchhiking. While some pests, like rodents, are on a mission to raid your garbage and burrow into your walls, bed bugs are only concerned with finding a host. As such, they are not selective with picking homes like rodents who search for the stench of garbage, easy home entry points, etc. Bed bugs don’t care if your home is meticulously clean or disgustingly dirty. If a bed bug manages to access your home, their only goal is to hunt you down and feast on your blood.
How Did I Get Bed Bugs!?!?
Bed bugs are roughly the size of an apple seed and can be as thin as a sheet of paper, making them experts at hiding. Their name is also a bit of a misnomer as these insects can be found a multitude of places including, movie theaters, restaurants, hotels, airplanes, schools, office buildings, hospitals, public transportation etc. Since bed bugs can be lurking in so many places, it is important to air on the side of caution whenever possible. Check hotel beds and drawers before using them and briefly inspect the sides of seats before sitting down in theaters, restaurants, etc.
Within your own home, bed bugs remain hidden in small, dark places. Reducing clutter, vacuuming frequently, inspecting your mattresses occasionally, and avoiding ever using moving blankets are all great ways to help reduce the chance of an infestation breakout in your own home.
Treatment Options
The two primary treatments for bed bugs are either chemical or heat treatments. Traditional chemical treatments require a minimum of 2-3 visits to target bed bugs as they mature. This is because chemical treatments are not effective on bedbug eggs. So, while it may appear as though the problem has disappeared once the adults stop biting, it’s only a matter of time before the eggs begin to hatch and the nymphs start searching for their blood meals. Then, it’s difficult to retreat in time as the eggs will hatch at different times and continuously spraying chemicals in your home, especially in your bed, is not at all ideal.
However, our preferred method of choice to combat bed bugs is heat. Not only is this treatment ecofriendly, but it will kill both adult bed bugs and their eggs. The infected area is heated to at least 115°F (46°C). Once the area has reached this heightened temperature, it must be maintained for roughly 10 minutes, which is ample time for the little creepy crawlers to expire from exposure to the heat.
If you think you may have bed bugs, call us today to schedule an inspection with one of our experts. We want to help you sleep soundly again without any fear of being bitten by these nasty little pests.
