Bed bugs have become a very big problem from Connecticut to New York. These summer bugs can dwell in just about any furniture object in your home. After a night’s sleep, you could end up covered in unsightly and irritating bite marks, especially during the warmer months. Heat and humidity during summer and early fall does appear to increase bed bug activity, making peak season for bed bugs June through October.

At one point, bed bug infestations were associated with crowded, dilapidated buildings. While this problem appeared to fade for a few decades during the 20th century, they returned in the 1990s – likely correlated with increased travel.

How You Ended Up With Bed Bugs and Need Beg Bug Pest Control
The fact is, you can pick up bed bugs from any place you come into contact with people, including schools, dormitories, movie theaters and public transit. Without you noticing, they can latch onto your clothing and come back home with you. These critters are very small, hiding in mattresses and clutter, where their presence may be unknown for quite some time. Bed bugs are even known to be attracted to dirty laundry.
Bed bugs are unlike ordinary pests:
- They require the blood of a warm-blooded person or animal to survive. Body heat and carbon dioxide indicate the presence of a host. After the feeding process, they might not return for days or weeks.
- They don’t die quickly. Instead, they mature in 36 days and live as long as 12 months, feeding fairly infrequently.
- They spread very quickly. One female bed bug can reproduce about 1,000 eggs over the course of three months.
- You don’t notice them. Their small, flat and narrow size easily slips through the cracks of mattresses, as well as bedding, bed frames, other furniture, carpets, floor boards and clutter. You might spot one if you look closely, but you typically only see them in groups. Their blood or fecal stains may also signal their presence.
- In general, bed bugs seek out dark, warm places. Aside from spots in your bedroom, they may congregate in drywall, lighting and other fixtures – basically any place humans or pets sit.
Signs of Bed Bugs
How can you tell you’re dealing with a bed bug infestation and not a typical rash?
- You notice their skins and exoskeletons on your mattress and furniture.
- You spot dark-colored fecal stains on your mattress and bedding.
- In addition to the rash, you notice blood stains on your sheets and beddings.
- The rash you get resembles a flea or mosquito bite.
- Your skin has raised welts, has a burning or itching sensation and features lines of bites in a localized area.
