There is only so much a person can do to combat pest problems here in Chandler. Sometimes bugs slip past our defenses and start causing trouble indoors.

Here is why you should order professional bed bug control if you notice these bugs indoors and how to identify bed bugs in Chandler. 

Don't Miss The First Signs Of Bed Bugs 

What is the best way to know your home has a bed bug infestation? First, you have to know how to spot these pests by the signs they leave behind. What are the signs of bed bugs? Most people notice bite marks first. Bed bug bites appear on the skin in a straight line or zig-zag pattern. Some other common signs of bed bugs include blood stains on your bed covers, specs of reddish-black fecal droppings, tiny white eggs inside cracks and crevices around your home, shed skins, and adult bed bugs. What does a bed bug look like? An adult bed bug is 3/16 to ¼” long, reddish-brown, and has an oval/shield-shaped body. During the day bed bugs hide in hard-to-reach areas. It is only at night (or when a room is very dark) that they emerge to feed on blood. If you are having trouble identifying these pests but you suspect you have some sort of pest issue, schedule your home for a detailed pest inspection.
