Bed bugs are also excellent hitchhikers. Not only can they
travel the world, but they are very good at moving from one place to another,
from one room to another room, or from that used furniture that they picked
up at a garage sale to the rest of their home.
Bed bugs feed mostly came at night time when the person is in
asleep. The bites cause small, hard, swollen skin rashes that can become
inflamed and itch severely. There are five youth stages that lead to adult
bedbugs. Adults are approximately 6 mm long, reddish-brown with juveniles
(nymphs) similarly but lighter in color and smaller. The eggs are approximately
1 mm long, white to cream and low pear-shaped. They are well hidden and not
always obvious.
The most effective way to control bed bugs in your home is
through a combination of chemical measures and heat treatments applied by a pest control professional (PCP).
Controlling bed bugs is only very difficult and time-consuming. It involves moving furniture, household items, and personal items.
Plan how you want to treat each room or call a pest control service near you.
Where the Bed Bugs can hide?
Bed bugs prefer to hide in cracks and crevices during the
day and go out at night to feed on their victims. The blood meal lasts three to
five minutes and the victim usually goes unnoticed; as the person is asleep!
After feeding, the bite can become inflamed and itch severely in sensitive
people. In extreme cases, there may be a severe allergic reaction that requires
urgent medical treatment.
The cryptic nature of bed bugs and their ability to hide in
small inaccessible spaces means that they will be protected from pesticides
unless they are fully and correctly applied. Eggs are not affected by
pesticides. Both features have significant implications for treatment.
Diff Signs of Bed Bug Infestation
- Irritated skin and irritation caused by bites.
- Shed skins and bed bug feces in refuge areas.
- Bloodstains on the bed, the mattress, the base, walls and furniture.
Bed bug Treatment Program like:
- Inspection of the premises, room by room
- Treatment of the affected rooms
- Follow up inspection of treated areas
The first essential step in the management of bed bugs is
the identification of pests and determining the extent and level of
infestation. Site inspection is crucial. When this is known, the Doorstep Hub’s
pest control technician can evaluate the treatment options and the time needed
for the treatment.
After inspection and before treatment, washing the affected
surfaces with bloodstains not only improves the appearance but also allows for
a follow-up inspection with greater confidence. In extreme cases, it may be
better to discard the mattress; it is recommended to burn or dump, making sure
that other items are not infested. Care must be taken when moving the affected items;
it is recommended to seal them in plastic bags before they leave the room.
Bedding should be washed in hot water followed by a hot dryer. Sensitive
materials can be placed in a freezer, allowing enough time for the entire
volume of the item to reach the freezer temperature.
