Your Unwanted House Guests: A Closer Look at Bed Bugs
What makes them so hard to get ride of?
Bed Bugs are masters of travel and concealment. Despite common misconceptions, they aren't attracted to dirt or grime; they are simply drawn to the warmth and carbon dioxide we emit. About the size of an apple seed, these wingless insects are incredibly flat, allowing them to hide in the tiniest cracks and crevices. They can infest any home, and their rapid reproduction cycle can quickly turn a minor nuisance into a major problem, emphasizing why professional intervention is essential.
Is It Just an Itch? Know the Signs of a Bed Bug Problem
Don't let them take over-learn the telltale signs.
Bed bug bites often go unnoticed at first, but their telltale signs will eventually appear. Learning to identify these clues can help you catch an infestation early.
• Itchy Bites:
Red, itchy welts that often appear in a line or zigzag pattern, commonly found on arms, shoulders, and neck.
• Rusty Stains:
Small, reddish-brown stains left behind on your sheets, mattress, or furniture after a bed bug is crushed.
• Fecal Spots:
Tiny, dark, ink-like spots found on your bedding, mattress seams, and along baseboards.
• Shed Skins and Eggs:
Translucent, yellowish bed bug exoskeletons and pearly-white, pinpoint- sized eggs, typically found in crevices.
• A Musty Odor:
A sweet, musty odor that may become noticeable in heavily infested areas.

Expert advice for lasting peace of mind.
1. Travel Smart:
When traveling, inspect hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs. Keep your luggage off the floor and inspect it carefully before you leave.
2. Inspect Secondhand Furniture:
Be cautious when bringing used furniture into your home. Thoroughly inspect it for bed bugs before it comes inside.
3. Use en-casements:
Protect your mattresses and box springs with bed bug-proof en-casements to trap any bugs already inside.
