Bed bugs in your home can be a nasty surprise. You may not even know how they got in. Don’t immediately panic if you discover bed bugs – it doesn’t mean that your house isn’t clean or that you are doing something wrong. Bed bugs have the ability to ride along on everything from clothing to luggage. It may be as simple as a few bed bugs coming back with you from your travels. Instead of dwelling on how they arrived, you need to focus on where they might be and how they can be eradicated.
Bed bugs are more annoying than anything. Because they are active at night, you aren’t likely to spot them running around during the day. They are also very small so you may not even be sure that what you saw was a bed bug. By then it will be gone and you’ll never be certain. But one thing that you will definitely notice will be the bites. Bed bugs feed on humans and are blood drinkers. You may wake up the next day with small bites all over your exposed areas. They may or may not itch depending upon your body’s reaction to the bed bug bites.
Bed bugs are also like any other creature in that they will leave behind waste. This waste will be the color of dried blood and can get on sheets, mattresses, and be in large quantities if many bed bugs are congregating together in locations such as beneath box springs. It’s not something that you’ll want to think about, but it is there and it will attract other, smaller organisms. Bed bugs are also very proficient in propagating, so if you don’t get a jump on them they may spread to other rooms and begin to feed on other members of your family.
Bed bugs can be removed much more efficiently when you have professional bed bug exterminators on your side. They know how to locate bed bugs, how to neutralize them, and how to make sure that there won’t be any recurrences. You can also feel good knowing that you’ve chosen a green pest control option so you don’t have to worry about strong pesticides or chemicals all over your rooms and home. When you have Slug-A-Bug technicians in charge of the operation, you can go back to bed knowing that there will be no more biting and no more bed bugs lurking in your home.
