Identifying Bed Bugs: Signs And Symptoms Of An Infestation
Would you know if your home had an active bed bug infestation? It is sometimes hard to tell that these pests are around. A good way to find out is by looking for some common signs of bed bugs around your living areas. These signs include blood stains on your bed covers, specs of reddish-black fecal droppings around your bed and home, and eggs inside cracks and crevices throughout your living areas.
If you need help identifying these bugs indoors, let us know. We will send one of our team members your way to inspect your living areas and find out for certain what types of pests are causing trouble around your living areas.
Don't Waste Your Time And Money On DIY Bed Bug Products
If you find out your home has a bed bug problem, there may be the temptation to try to control these pests on your own. This is not advisable. Bed bugs are one of the most resilient local pests. Many traditional pest control products do not work with these invasive insects.
To make things more challenging, many bed bug control products can be harmful to humans and animals if used improperly. Other products are not very effective. We have personally heard too many horror stories of homeowners losing time and money trying to handle these pests on their own. Save yourself by bringing in our professionals.
