How Do I Check For Bed Bugs?

Simple Identification For Homeowners

Bed bugs hide, their scampering/bolting away may make some homeowners fearful to look for them, and a baby bed bug (nymph) are usually too difficult to discover for the un-trained eye. For these reasons, when you move around your mattress and investigate, you should be looking not only for brown adult bed bugs and yellow pale nymphs, but also, in-animate evidence such as white bed bug eggs, and black bed bug feces. Use the following steps to help you conduct a search for bed bug evidence in your room:

Thoroughly check the seams of your mattress and joints of the bed frame Investigate all wooden constructs of the bed carefully as bed bugs may blend in with the colour of wood Flatten and stretch fabric properties of bedroom furniture to properly see bugs and eggs hiding under fabric folds Checking basebords near the bed may yield effortless fecal matter findings due to the contrast in colour

Not finding evidence using the above steps is not a confirmation that you are bed bug free. The bed bug exterminator inspection is distinguished from a regular homeowner inspection because a simple homeowner check lacks extensiveness, detail, and is not sufficient to draw a bed bug extermination plan upon. An expert bed bug inspection determines the entire scope and far-reaching effects of the infestation. Thus, it is necessary in order to eliminate the bed bugs from every single source and hiding spot.

How Do You Even Get Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs may transport using bags, humans, clothing, luggage. They may get off at any spot and then aboard another bag, or the clothing of a new person. Thus, apart from hotel rooms, bed bugs may latch on to you or your belongings from the fabric and cushiony seats found in movie theatres, public transportation vehicles, airplanes, and hospitals. With cases Pest Solution Services has previously dealt with, sources of infestations can even be a continuous guest who visits your home frequently (such as a client who comes many times to your home office).
