BED BUGS

BED BUG CONTROL

Don't let bed bugs keep you up at night.

What are bed bugs?


Bedbugs are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in color, wingless, range from 1mm (roughly the size of the letters on a penny) to 5mm (roughly the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny), and can live up to a year without a blood meal. Bed bugs don't jump or fly, and they crawl about the same speed as an ant. 


How did I get bed bugs?


The most common way for bed bugs to invade your home is for your family, or your friends to bring them in without realizing it. Bed bugs are excellent “hitch-hikers.” Here are some ways you could bring them into your home:


• Picking up bed bug-infested beds, or furniture that has been discarded.

• Visiting someone who has bed bugs and carrying them back with you       on your clothing or possessions.

• Staying overnight in a bed bug-infested hotel or home and bringing           them home in your luggage.

• Renting furniture infested with bed bugs from rental companies.

• Buying bed bug-infested second-hand furniture, carpets, blankets,         luggage, pictures, and fixtures from stores, yard sales, auctions, and   flea markets. 

• Bedbugs can also migrate from one apartment to the next                          through pipe and wiring runs, and through wall and ceiling voids, in the    same way that cockroaches move between apartments.


Do bed bugs spread disease?


Bed bugs are not known to spread disease and not be considered a medial hazard.  Bed bugs can be an annoyance because their presence may cause itching and loss of sleep. The itching can lead to excessive scratching that could increase the chance of a secondary skin infection.
