Bed Bugs

Protect Your Home from Hidden Hitchhikers

Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pests that could ever happen to a homeowner. They’re sometimes referred to as hidden hitchhikers, because they spread silently through luggage, clothing, overnight guests, or secondhand furniture. Bed bugs do not discriminate between clean and dirty environments, and once they enter a home, they may be difficult to eliminate without professional help.

Bed bug activity is year-round, although there were some reports that there tends to be increased incidents during spring and summer travel seasons in the Mid-Atlantic. However, many homeowners may not realize they have a problem until symptoms such as bites, stains, or disrupted sleep appear because they hide well and breed rapidly. Early detection and treatment make all the difference.

Signs That You Might Have Bed Bugs

Small and sneaky, bed bugs are good at remaining hidden, but look for these signs of an infestation:

Small bites often appear as lines or clusters

Blood spots on the sheets or pillowcases

Dark spots along mattress seams or bed frames

Shed skins or tiny eggs in cracks and crevices

A musty or mildewy smell in bedrooms

Bed bugs commonly hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, furniture, and wall cracks; most store-bought solutions are not very effective at reaching them.

Even if you are not sure, call a professional inspection for your peace of mind. The earlier bed bugs are recognized, the easier it is to control them.

When to Initiate Treatment

Unlike seasonal pests, bed bugs should be treated immediately if activity is suspected. If left untreated, their populations will continue to grow increasing the risk of spreading to other rooms. Immediate treatment helps contain the problem and improve the success of eliminating them.
