Bed bugs are some of the worst pests one might ever have to deal with. They bite, causing itchy sores that are uncomfortable throughout the day. Some people are allergic to them as well and don’t know it until they get bit. What’s worse is that bed bugs are very good at hiding. They seem to come out of nowhere, then refuse to leave. Bed bugs are highly resistant to commercial pesticides. In most cases, these bugs require a professional approach. Contact Exterminator Oakville today if you need help getting rid of bed bugs. We offer comprehensive bed bug removal services that are guaranteed.
While it might seem like they do, bed bugs do not appear out of thin air. They travel from one place to the next by clinging to our belongings. These little hitch hikers are usually picked up in hotel rooms, laundromats, movie theaters, and used pieces of furniture. Once in the house, they crawl their way into our beds or couches – anywhere we might sit or sleep for hours at a time. Bed bugs have flat bodies that allow them to sneak into mattress seams and furniture joints. They emerge at night when they sense the warmth of our bodies and the carbon dioxide that we exhale.
Signs of a Bed Bug Problem
Spotting a bed bug is a clear sign that you are suffering from an infestation. Bed bugs are flat, brown, round little bugs that look like apple seeds. No other bug likes to infest beds, so if you’re not sure what it is, it’s probably a bed bug. Another sign is waking up with bite marks. Bite marks are small, red dots that may or may not be swollen or itchy. Bites usually appear in clusters of straight lines or zig zags on the arms, legs, or other parts of the body that are exposed while asleep. Finally, there may be stains on the bed sheets, mattress, or creases of bedroom furniture.
How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
Call an exterminator as soon as you notice the signs of an infestation. A technician will perform an inspection and carry out a treatment that gets rid of bed bugs at every stage of their life cycle. The problem with attempting to get rid of bed bugs yourself is that most treatments fail to destroy eggs. Professionals use a combination of pesticides to eliminate adult bugs and steam to get rid of their eggs. What you can do to help is to wash all of your clothing in hot water and dry them at the hottest setting. Keep all your clothes in sealed plastic bags for the next few weeks, until the bugs are gone.
