Bed Bug Control & Prevention

Bed bugs are one of the most resilient and elusive pests, often going undetected until an infestation is well established. These tiny hitchhikers spread easily, hiding in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and even electrical outlets. Once inside, they multiply rapidly, making early detection and treatment critical.

Identification

How to Identify a Bed Bug

bed-bug-controlBed bugs are small, flat, reddish-brown insects that are experts at hiding in mattresses, furniture, and tiny crevices. They are often mistaken for other pests, so knowing their key characteristics can help with accurate identification.

Physical Characteristics of a Bed Bug:

  • Size: About 1/4 inch (5-7 mm) long (about the size of an apple seed)
  • Shape: Oval, flat body (becomes more elongated after feeding)
  • Color: Reddish-brown (turns darker and swollen after feeding)
  • Legs & Antennae: Six legs and two short antennae
  • Wings: No wings—bed bugs cannot fly or jump

Bed Bug Life Cycle & Growth

Bed bugs multiply rapidly, making professional treatment essential. Here’s what to know about their life cycle:

  • Egg Stage (1-2 Weeks): Tiny, pearl-white eggs hatch in about 7-10 days
  • Nymph Stage (5 Weeks): Bed bugs go through five nymph stages, feeding on blood at each stage
  • Adult Stage (6+ Months): Adult bed bugs can survive months without feeding, making them extremely resilient

Because of their ability to hide, reproduce quickly, and survive long periods without a meal, DIY treatments are rarely effective. Professional treatment is the only reliable way to eliminate an infestation.

bed-bug-treatmentSigns of a Bed Bug Infestation:

  • Small Blood Stains – Rust-colored or red spots on sheets and pillowcases
  • Dark Fecal Spots – Tiny black or brown droppings on mattresses, furniture, or walls
  • Shed Skins & Eggs – Translucent exoskeletons and tiny, pearl-white eggs in crevices
  • Itchy Red Bites – Clusters or lines of bites, often on exposed skin like arms, legs, and neck
  • Musty Odor – A sweet, musty smell in heavy infestations caused by bed bug pheromones

Where to Look for Bed Bugs:

  • Mattresses & Box Springs – Along seams, tufts, and under tags
  • Bed Frames & Headboards – In cracks, joints, and behind headboards
  • Furniture & Upholstery – Inside couches, chairs, and nightstands
  • Baseboards & Electrical Outlets – Behind loose wallpaper, inside outlets, and wall voids
  • Luggage & Clothing – Bed bugs hitchhike on bags, clothes, and secondhand furniture

Risks

The Risks of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are experts at hiding and relentless survivors, making them one of the toughest pests to eliminate without professional help. They do not spread disease, but they cause itchy, red bites, allergic reactions, and sleep disturbances.

Where Bed Bugs Hide

  • Bed bugs can infest more than just your bed! They are commonly found in:
  • Mattresses & Box Springs – Their favorite hiding place near food sources
  • Furniture & Upholstery – Couches, recliners, and chairs can harbor hidden infestations
  • Cracks & Crevices – Baseboards, nightstands, and headboards are prime hiding spots
  • Luggage & Clothing – Bed bugs often spread through travel and secondhand items

How Bed Bugs Spread

  • Traveling: Hotels, public transportation, and shared spaces can be bed bug hotspots
  • Secondhand Items: Used furniture and mattresses can carry hidden infestations
  • Apartments & Shared Housing: Bed bugs can migrate between units through walls and electrical outlets
Early detection is key! If you suspect bed bugs, call us immediately to prevent a widespread infestation.

Prevention Tips

Bed Bug Prevention Tips

While professional treatment is the most effective way to eliminate bed bugs, taking precautions can help prevent future infestations:

Be Cautious When Traveling

  • Inspect hotel beds, headboards, and furniture before settling in
  • Keep luggage off the floor and away from the bed
  • Wash and dry clothes on high heat after returning from a trip

Inspect Secondhand Items

  • Avoid bringing home used mattresses, furniture, or clothing unless thoroughly inspected
  • Look for tiny dark spots, eggs, or shed skins before purchasing secondhand items

Reduce Clutter in Sleeping Areas

  • Keep belongings off the floor and away from walls to reduce hiding spots
  • Regularly vacuum and clean around bed frames, furniture, and baseboards

Seal Entry Points in Multi-Unit Buildings

  • Use caulk or sealants to block gaps in walls, outlets, and baseboards
  • Install mattress and box spring encasements to prevent hidden infestations

Avoid DIY Treatments (Do-It-Yourself Treatments)

  • Over-the-counter sprays and DIY remedies often make infestations worse by scattering bed bugs into harder-to-reach areas
  • Bed bugs are highly resistant to many store-bought pesticides, making professional treatment the only reliable solution
