Bed bugs are insects that live indoors and travel worldwide on people and their belongings. They are difficult to avoid and frustrating to deal with after finding a way into your Arizona home or business. Bed bugs create a significant pest problem because their preferred food source is human blood, so they want to be where we live, work, and visit.
Accurately identifying a bed bug infestation is crucial in order to stop these pests before they have the chance to take over your home. If you suspect bed bugs, immediately reach out to Green Home Pest Control.
Identifying features of an adult bed bud include:
Because they're not currently vectors of the diseases that make people ill, bed bugs aren’t as dangerous as other pests (mosquitoes and ticks) that feed on blood. Bed bugs are, however, unpleasant and unwanted pests to have in our homes. Problems that bed bugs cause people include leaving behind raised, red welts. Bed bug bites are itchy, and excessive itching can lead to secondary infections. They also stain mattresses, bedding, and other fabrics with blood and excrement.
Additionally, who can get a good night’s sleep when sharing a home with biting bed bugs? Sleepless nights and anxious days are a common side effect of a bed bug infestation.
Bed bugs have become a problem in your home either because you, a family member, or friend, have introduced them. These insects move from place to place by hitchhiking on our clothing or personal belongings. They are efficient crawlers and great at hiding away in the folds of clothing, bags, purses, and luggage.
Other ways these pests move into a structure is inside of used items like mattresses, box springs, and furniture. Doing laundry in a shared laundry facility may also allow you to come into contact with bed bugs and unknowingly introduce them into your home. Also, bed bugs move from room to room or unit to unit between walls and floors using wires and pipes as a highway.
If there are people, there is a possibility of bed bugs. Bed bugs live indoors with people making them a pest threat throughout the year. People come into contact with bed bugs in a variety of places, including:
After being introduced into your home, bed bugs take cover during the day in dark cracks and crevices and within clutter. They hide out in mattresses and box springs in bedroom areas to have easy access to food sources. But, don’t be fooled, bed bugs don’t just stay in the bedroom; they will travel throughout your home, infesting many areas!
