Bed Bugs Control | Pestoid

Bed bug treatment is a pest control service that many of our clients ask for. Sadly, bed bugs are a common problem in many homes, and sometimes people don’t even know they have them.

Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped bugs that feed on the blood of animals or people. They often go unnoticed, but their bites can cause problems like allergic reactions, skin rashes, and sometimes even mental health issues.

What do bed bugs look like?

Bed bugs are small bugs, about 5 to 9 millimeters long, and have an oval shape. They are usually brown and can look like wood ticks. After they feed on blood, their color changes to a reddish shade and their bodies look longer.

Bed bugs don’t have wings, but they can move very fast by crawling on walls, floors, and ceilings. This makes them hard to catch.

What do bed bug bites look like?

Bed bug bites often appear in a line or cluster and are usually red and itchy. Because of how they look, they can easily be mistaken for an allergic reaction or a regular insect bite.

If you notice these types of bites, it could be a sign that you have a bed bug infestation in your home.

Signs of bed bugs

Signs that you might have bed bugs include:

  • Red, itchy bed bug bites
  • Small blood stains on your sheets
  • Tiny brown spots on your bedding or furniture (bed bug droppings)

If you see any of these signs, you probably need a bed bug treatment to get rid of the problem.

Commercial Pest Control

What causes bed bugs?

Bed bugs are most often brought into the home through travel. People usually pick them up without knowing, as the bugs can attach to personal items like suitcases or even to clothing.

Another common cause is second-hand furniture. If the furniture came from a place with a bed bug problem, it could bring them into your home. Many people don’t check for bed bugs when buying used furniture, but we always recommend checking carefully before bringing it inside.
