Identifying Bed Bugs
To get rid of pest problem under control, inspection is the first and foremost step.
Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, flat, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed, measuring 4-5mm in length. While they are often found in and around bedding, these pests can hide in a variety of places, including cracks in furniture, behind baseboards, inside electrical outlets, and even within personal belongings.
BED BUGS
PEST CONTROL
Bed bugs are parasitic insects of the cimicid family that feed exclusively on blood.There are several methods to control bed bugs.
- Bite Marks: Small, red, itchy bites on your skin, often found in lines or clusters.
- Blood Stains: Tiny reddish stains on your sheets or mattress from crushed bed bugs.
- Shed Skins: Bed bugs shed their skins as they grow, leaving behind brownish, paper-thin shells.
- Fecal Spots: Dark spots of dried bed bug excrement on bedding, walls, or furniture.
- A Musty Odor: A strong, unpleasant smell, particularly in larger infestations.
They are most active at night, feeding on human blood while their hosts sleep. They tend to hide in small, hard-to-reach places during the day, making them difficult to detect and eliminate without professional help.

How to Prevent a Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs are notorious hitchhikers and can be picked up from hotels, public transport, or even used furniture. Preventing bed bug infestations requires attention to detail and diligence.
To minimize the risk of bringing bed bugs into your home, follow these tips:
- Inspect second-hand furniture or mattresses before bringing them indoors.
- Regularly wash and heat-dry your bedding, particularly after travel.
- Vacuum frequently, paying attention to mattress seams, bed frames, and furniture crevices.
- Use protective encasements on mattresses and box springs to reduce hiding places.
- Avoid placing luggage on beds or upholstered furniture during trips.
Despite these efforts, they can still find their way into your property, and when they do, professional treatment is often necessary.
