One of the big problems that bed bug pest removal faces is the fact that these tiny bugs can thrive almost unseen in many areas of your home. That means that by the time you notice one in your sheets, it’s quite likely that there is a plethora of them thriving elsewhere. In order to effectively remove the bugs, you need to find out where most of them are living and determine exactly what kind of treatment will be helpful for that given area.

How Bed Bug Infestations Occur
Despite common speculation, bed bugs are rarely an effect of poor hygiene and cleanliness. The leading cause of bed bug infestations is people, or their belongings, coming into contact with an existing bed bug habitat. Hotels and airlines in particular allow for the frequent transfer of bed bugs through clothing, luggage, skin, and hair.
Signs of a Bed Bug Problem
While bed bugs are visible with the human eye, they can be difficult to detect since they only feed at night. This is why they are often found in beds, which allow them to feed on sleeping hosts in a warm, coarbon dioxide-filled environment. Signs of a bed bug problem include blood stains on or around furniture, rust-colored spots on fabric or walls, itchy welts across the skin, and musty odors.

Frequently Asked Questions
1Where do bed bugs live?
2What bed bug treatments are the most effective?
Because they’re so resilient, bed bug pest control can sometimes seem like a losing battle. And, unfortunately, there are relatively few DIY methods that are effective at permanently removing them. Washing your bedding is helpful, for example, but it takes extreme temperatures to fully kill these bugs. Vacuuming can catch adult bugs, but it’s not as effective against eggs and larvae, and diatomaceous earth requires a skilled hand to apply properly to ensure maximum effectivity. Eradicating them using a licensed bed bug exterminator is the best option.
