Are Bed Bugs Stealing Your Sleep? Here's How to Reclaim Your Rest!
Imagine going to bed at the end of a long day, only to be driven crazy by incessant itching and red welts in the morning. Bed bugs can turn your haven into a place of tension and discomfort. But the right bed bug exterminator can restore your restful nights and shield your house from any future infestation.
Knowing the Bed Bug Menace
Bed bugs are tiny, reddish-brown bugs that feed on human blood, mostly at night. Their bites can lead to itching, allergic reactions, and even secondary infection from scratching. Aside from physical discomfort, infestations usually result in anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Knowing these pests is the beginning of getting rid of them efficiently.
What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
- Size & Shape: Adult bed bugs are approximately apple-seed in size, flat and oval in shape prior to feeding. They become swollen and elongated after feeding.
- Color: They vary from light brown to reddish-brown, based on if they have fed recently.
- Eggs & Nymphs: Bed bug eggs are small, pearl-white, and almost invisible to the eye. Nymphs (young bed bugs) are smaller, lighter, and more difficult to see.
Common Indications of an Infestation
- Bite Marks: Red, itchy welts in clusters or lines on exposed skin.
- Blood Stains: Tiny reddish spots on pillowcases or sheets from bed bug crushing.
- Fecal Spots: Dark pinhead-sized spots on bedding, walls, or furniture.
- Shed Skins: Exoskeletons discarded as bed bugs molt.
- Live Bugs: Insects seen in mattress seams, cracks in furniture, or behind wallpaper.
