Bed Bugs
Proudly Serving Metro Philadelphia Area and Southern New Jersey Homes For Over 20 Years
Bed bugs are small insects that are usually abut 1/4 inches in diameter and are usually brown with small dark heads. They like to feed on the blood of humans as well as animals. Sometimes, people have a bed bug infestation and are completely oblivious to their presence since they like to feed at night and prefer sleeping hosts. People usually attribute itchy skin or a rash to a mosquito bite since the infected area resembles the same skin changes.
Bed bugs have been seen in all regions across the globe. Bed bug infestations are relatively common and have been increasing since the 1990s. The exact cause remains unknown but has been attributed to more human traveling, more people giving away their furniture and surprisingly enough, the resistance of pesticides.
Bed bugs live for about 10 months even without feeding on hosts. A female bed bug can often lay hundreds of eggs. As soon as a bed bug hatches, it can begin laying eggs in as little as five weeks. Those eggs take about 17 days to hatch which is just over 2 weeks and those bed bugs can begin biting hosts almost immediately.
Bed bugs are not a danger to humans since they they dont carry diseases that can likely spread to other humans that have been bitten. However, some people may actually be allergic to their bites and may experience hives, red bumps that are itchy and can spread to other parts of your body.
The pest control experts at Affordable Pest Solutions understand the opportunistic nature of these pests and that they are always willing to travel. Your best bet against they moving into your your business or residence is to check your luggage and your clothing. Be very diligent when traveling to a hotel to not place your luggage on your bed, instead place it on the luggage rack which is always away from the mattress. This prevents bed bugs from hitching a ride and coming back with you from your return trip.
Check the furniture you purchase, especially if it a used item. Check between crevices, between cushions and along side the edge.
Protect your commercial or residential property by checking clothing after visiting any heavily-populated and high-traffic areas like movie theaters, arenas and the like.
Managing a bed bug infestation is best handled by pest control professionals. If an infestation has already occurred, dont try to rid your property of these pests yourself as they reproduce quickly and will eventually overtake your home or business rendering it uninhabitable.
These pests cause you and your family high levels of stress since they are like invisible predators living in your residential or commercial property which feed on its occupants and guests.
Bed bugs are unlikely to to cause any damage to the structure of your home or business, however, they are extremely pesky and almost impossible to get rid of without a professional pest control intervention and treatment. Having bed bugs in your business can be disastrous especially if word gets out about the infestation. Your business can be negatively affected causing you to lose customers and revenue.
