Bed bugs are parasites that feed on humans and use our blood to grow and the worst part is that you can have them and not know it! In addition to humans, bed bugs are also capable of feeding on animals including cats, dogs, and other pets.  If you suspect you may have a bed bug infestation, be sure to contact a professional as soon as possible for a professional bed bug treatment of these icky pests.

Where Do They Hide?

They may enter your property undetected through used beds & couches, clothing, and luggage. Thanks to their flattened bodies, they are able to fit almost anywhere. Bed bug removal can be difficult as they do not have nests li ants or bees. And since they feed on blood, their most favourite places to stay are box springs, mattresses, bed frames, and headboards. They stay where they have easy access to people to bite in the night.

Having them at a home is not a sign of dirtiness as bed bugs live solely on blood. These critters are found in both immaculate and filthy homes, so if you suspect that they have found your way into their home, it is essential to call the professionals immediately.

When Do They Bite?

They usually bite during the night while people are sleeping. They pierce the skin and withdraw blood through an elongated beak and then crawl away, unnoticed. It may be painless initially but later these bites turn into itchy welts. Mostly, they bite around the ankles and neck as they are exposed while sleeping. Unlike flea bites, bed bug bites do not have a red spot in the centre.

If you find bites around your neck or other body parts right after you wake up, make sure to check your mattress and bed frame thoroughly and contact your pest professionals.  Remove all bedding and check it carefully for signs of the bugs.
