In communities throughout New England and across the county, bed bugs are an increasing concern. Although bed bugs are a problem that can emerge anywhere and at any time of year including wintertime, they are generally thought of as a summer bug because they the chances of encountering them may be greater due to increased travel frequency. Even after just one night of sleep in that beautiful oceanside suite, people may wake to find unsightly and irritating bite marks due to bed bugs. As reinforced by the National Pest Management Association, checking for bed bugs during trips and at home is essential. To help understand these pervasive pests, the following provides an overview and how Eliminate ‘Em’s exterminator and pest control providers can help you with any bed bug concerns!
THE IMPORTANCE OF BED BUG PEST CONTROL
From schools to movie theaters to cruise ships, there are many places where you can pick up bed bugs, and several factors that increase your chances of bed bug exposure. These tiny critters can hide in furniture, dirty laundry, accumulated clutter or cracks in the wallpaper, so even those who work or live in a specific location may not be aware of a bed bug presence! Consequently, contacting professional bed bug pest control specialists is necessary because bed bugs are unlike many other ordinary pests. Here’s why:
- Body heat and carbon dioxide indicate the presence of a warm-blooded host like a person or animal, who the bed bugs can feed on. After the feeding process, they can survive for days or even weeks without another meal.
- Bed bugs don’t die quickly, and their population can grow rapidly. Even if they are feeding infrequently, they can live for several months, and just one female bed bug can produce as many as 20 eggs after a single meal, according to the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
- Notoriously difficult to see, bed bugs may only become known to their human hosts if they are spotted in groups or due to feeding remnants like blood spots or fecal stains.
