Bed bugs are invading establishments all over the country including homes, hotels, and dormitories. We’ve had these pests under control for decades, but they are once again emerging as a problem for various reasons including increased human travel, pesticide resistance, as well as changes in pest control methods.
These bugs can become a problem in your home quite easily, even if you actively try to avoid letting them in. They are particularly a problem for apartment dwellers. They have the ability to crawl between apartments and different floors with ease, so it can be virtually impossible to keep them out.
They aren't active during the day, as they would prefer to come out at night when everyone is asleep. They will hide away in various places such as headboards, box springs, and inside of mattresses. They can even make a home behind loose wallpaper.
If you have these pests living near where you sleep, then they will likely bite you while you're sleeping. They have to feed on blood in order to survive. If they don't bite you, then they will bite your pet. Their bites only cause physical problems in the form of small welts - fortunately they don't transmit diseases to humans.
It is very important that you realize these bugs are very difficult to get rid of, especially if you live in an apartment as mentioned earlier. If you see some in your bedding or other areas, then you will need to call a pest control professional immediately. Make sure that the company has plenty of experience dealing with these bugs specifically before you hire them though.
There are a few things you can do to help prevent problems with these pests. Always be careful when traveling because they can stow away in your luggage or clothing and come back to your home. You can even pick up these bugs by traveling on public transportation. If you have visitors from out of town, try to ensure that they don't bring any unwanted guests with them too.
If you spot one bed bug, don't think that it will go away sooner or later. This type of problem will start out small but get big fast, so you will need to act quickly.
