Bed Bugs - Don’t Let Them Bite You!

Unless you are an entomologist, you probably are not a big fan of any kind of bug. Perhaps growing up, your parents would tuck you in at night and say, don’t let the bed bugs bite. Maybe you never really thought about where that statement came from until recently. Maybe the first reminder you had of that statement was when you and your family woke up at your vacation hotel to bites all over your legs. Perhaps you did not realize they could be from bed bugs, but when the issue continued to happen at home, you began to suspect that you brought something home with your from your vacation. 

If you find that what you brought home from your vacation was bed bugs, you are not the first. It is now suggested that you not put luggage on your bed or the floor in hotels because you could bring pests home with you. Use those luggage racks for what they are made for. If you do not have enough luggage racks in your room, ask the front desk, they should try to do what they can to give you what you need.

If you did not know about this precaution, then you may be in a predicament that you would have never thought could happen to you. This type of pest can be found in clean or dirty homes, so do not feel like you are dirty if you do have them. You will, however, want to immediately find an exterminator to help you with your problem. If you did not already have an exterminator that you look to when you have problems, you will likely be in a hurry to locate one.

Finding an exterminator may seem like an easy job when you see all the commercials on television, but there are so many options, and you will want to find the best option for your home. Pesticides may not be the best choice for bed bugs. There are new options that may be better to completely eradicate your home of your pest problem. You may find exterminators who use cold or hot treatments to get rid of them, and you may also find some that use pesticides. The best step to take is to research what form of treatment has the best results, because you will want them gone as fast as possible.

There are websites online dedicated to having reviews of businesses and professionals. Find a well-known site that offers this, and look up the various exterminators you are considering. Also, take the time to ask around to close friends and family. Obviously, you would probably not want to spread it around that you have this problem, but close friends and family should know out of courtesy anyway, so that you do not share your problem.

Whether or not you have had a problem with bed bugs or other pests as of yet, it is a good idea to have an exterminator that you trust to care of any problems that may arise. Do not delay in beginning your research for the right exterminator.
