Bed Bugs
Bed Bug Control Services
Bed bugs are a common household pest that can easily find their way into your home. They may arrive on clothing, a new mattress, upholstered furniture, or through shared living spaces.
Although bed bugs are not known to spread disease, their bites can be painful and irritating. Their nocturnal feeding habits can also cause ongoing sleep disruption, making infestations extremely distressing.
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate, and many families and businesses find they cannot manage the problem on their own.
The Life Cycle of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs reproduce quickly and thrive in hidden places close to their food source.
- Eggs: A female bed bug lays eggs in cracks and crevices, often on or around the mattress. She can lay 200–250 eggs in her lifetime.
- Nymphs: Eggs hatch in 6–10 days, and the newly hatched nymphs immediately seek a blood meal from their host.
- Adults: Bed bugs typically live for 25–35 days, depending on environmental conditions and access to food.
What to Look For
You can often spot signs of an infestation through several clear indicators:
- Live or dead bed bugs: Visible to the naked eye and swell after feeding.
- Droppings: Clusters of black spots found on the mattress, bed frame, or headboard.
- Blood stains: Small smears or spots on bedding from crushed or feeding bugs.
- Bites: Itchy red welts, often around the face, neck, hands, and upper body – similar to mosquito bites.
