Bed bugs are small insects that feed entirely on human blood. They were nearly eradicated from the US at one point, but due to stricter regulations on chemicals used in pesticides and increases in international travel, bed bugs are making a strong comeback.

Bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. They are flat and oval shaped and are reddish brown in color. Bed bug nymphs will look like smaller versions of the adults. The eggs are all white and extremely small. They are very difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Yes. Bed bugs are nocturnal, which means they hide during the day and are active at night. They usually hide close to a food source; under the sheets, behind headboards, behind outlet covers and other undisturbed places. At night they come out and feed on human blood.

Bed bugs are not known to carry or transmit any diseases to humans. However, their bite often results in an itchy, red welt on the skin. These bites often are in straight lines and several bites in a row.

If you are waking up in the morning with insect bites that you did not have when you went to bed, there is a good chance you have bed bugs. Other common signs include:

Small spots of blood on your pillow or sheets - These are leftover from nighttime feedings.

Caste bed bug skins - As bed bugs grow they shed their old, empty skins.

Small, white eggs Bed bug eggs are very small and hard to see, but if you find small, white insect eggs, they could point to a bed bug problem.

Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers. The bed bugs in your home most likely caught a ride in your luggage, in your briefcase, on used furniture, or even on your clothes. Bed bugs can be found anywhere. They are commonly encountered in cabs, on the bus, in airplanes, in motels and in thrift shops or other places that sell used clothing. Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs are not a sanitation issue; you can just as easily get bed bugs at a five star hotel as you can at the run down, side-of-the-road motel down the street.

On Aug 21 2012 I attended a conference in the beginning of June of 2012 in this hotel. Returned home and a month later discovered an infestation of bed bugs in my master bedroom.

Bed Bugs Are Back

(Hemiptera Cimicidae)

Im sure most of you have heard the phrase dont let the bed bugs bite.

Bedbugs were a common problem prior to World War II and the widespread use of high residual pesticides such as DDT made them extinct in North America. Now after a 50-year absence these unpleasant pests have made a comeback. They are commonly carried in clothing, language or furniture and the more traffic a facility has the greater the potential for a problem.

Bed bugs feed on human blood. Although they are not known to spread disease, their damage to your reputation can have a cost beyond counting. Because these pests can be difficult to control, experienced, expert help is a necessity.

If you see any of the following bed bug warning signs, be sure to contact (860) 878-9128 to do a free pest evaluation of your property.
