transit, or movie theaters. In reality, bed bugs can also be
found lurking in apartments, homes, work facilities, schools,
stores, and just about anywhere humans gather together.

If you\u2019re worried about bed bugs in your own home, though, you have to be thorough in your search. Due to their survival instinct, bed bugs hide just about anywhere. In most cases you will find bed bugs close to where you sleep or spend most of your time sitting. You should start your inspection around sleeping areas like your mattress and box spring, behind your headboard and nightstands. Keep in mind they can also be found in baseboards, behind electrical switch plates, in picture frames, behind wallpaper, or even in books. The best time to search for them is at night since they tend to sleep during the daytime. They\u2019ll sneak into your mattress or box springs, and they can also be found in baseboards, behind electrical switch plates, in picture frames, behind wallpaper, or even in books. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

If you\u2019ve captured a bug, and you want to find out what it is, then you\u2019ll need to rule out look-alikes. Short of calling an entomologist, make sure to rule out the most commonly mistaken bugs before you call pest removers in a panic. People mistake other bugs for bed bugs and it is important to know the difference. <\/span><\/h3>\n
Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown in color and are approximately 1\u20444 inch in length. The adults can easily be seen with the naked eye.<\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The most insidious thing about bed bugs is their bite. In fact, the bed bug does not bite at all, they don\u2019t have a mouth or teeth. They have a sucking mouth part they use to puncture your skin and suck your blood much like a mosquito. As the bed bug takes its blood meal, its saliva acts as an anesthetic and anticoagulant which increases blood flow to the bite location. They get fed faster, and you feel nothing. It\u2019s almost impossible to feel a bed bug while it\u2019s biting you. The process is quick and painless – for the bug, at least. They might hit the same area multiple times, resulting in multiple bites in a concentrated area. <\/span><\/p>\n
After they feed, bed bugs move to secluded places to hide for 5-10 days. During this period, they digest their meal and lay eggs. <\/span><\/p>\n
But as the bed bugs hide, the humans they bit may begin to feel
the effects. A sensitive person will start to feel a burning sen-
sation. They might start itching and develop a reddish rash on the skin, too. This is an allergic reaction to the anesthetic and anticoagulant and signs may not show up for days after the feeding event. <\/span><\/p>\n
However, plenty of humans are not sensitive to bed bug bites at all and will develop no itching or rash. If one person in a household has bite symptoms, but no one else is, that doesn\u2019t mean only one room is infested or just one person is being bit! <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Heat treatment works by causing the bed bugs\u2019 systems to overheat and begin to break down. The higher the tempera- ture, the quicker this breakdown occurs and because the heat penetrates every surface in your home, there is nowhere from them to hide. At temperatures above 110 degrees Fahrenheit, bed bugs will begin to die off. However, heat treatment is most effective at slightly higher temperatures. The recommended optimal temperature is between 120 degrees and 125 degrees for a few hours to completely eliminate the bed bugs. <\/span><\/p>\n
If the heat treatment is properly conducted, it is the quickest\u00a0<\/span>and most effective way to get rid of a bed bug infestation. Bed\u00a0<\/span>bug heating services take 4 to 6 hours to complete and you\u00a0<\/span>will be able to safely return to your home as soon as it\u2019s complete. Heat eliminates the need for chemical treatments and can be used in entire structures, confined areas or for spot treatments. There is no odor, and after a cooling period, the area is safe for people and pets to re-enter. Heat is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, Environmental Protection Agency and the National Pest Management Association as the most effective means of bed bug control.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are plenty of \u201chome remedies\u201d and money-saving hacks out there that claim to help get rid of bed bugs. But while these might help you catch and kill some bed bugs, very few of them help get rid of your infestation. <\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Be wary of sprays and harmful chemicals<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n
Another common method that many people use to get rid of bed bugs is pest control sprays or chemicals. Most over- the-counter chemicals such as foggers are highly repellant and will make a bad problem worse by driving the bugs deeper into the walls and under carpets. Along with being ineffective, many chemicals are also harmful to your family members and pets if used incorrectly. <\/span><\/p>\n
Many studies have shown that even with non-repellant chemical \u201cremedies\u201d applied by pest control professionals for bed bugs often must be administered at least three times to treat a bed bug infestation. And Furthermore, bed bugs have developed resistance and immunity to many of the widely used chemicals that were previously effective. <\/span><\/p>\n
Furthermore, bed bugs have developed resistance and immunity to many of the widely used chemicals that were previously effective. There are frequent accounts of harm to humans and animals because applications are not professionally done, and the correct precautionary measures were not taken. Just like with diseases to antibiotics, bed bugs have grown immunities to the previously effective sprays and chemicals, which causes the newest and best chemicals and sprays to be more powerful and dangerous. Finally, treatments should be applied by professionals because they can be especially harmful to people at risk of underlying neurological disorders or other medical issues and make it harder for them to live in their homes during or after treatments.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Once you\u2019ve gotten rid of your bed bugs, you\u2019ll want to take preventative measures. Even though heat treatments are foolproof against infestations, remember you got bed bugs from somewhere. After all, bed bugs are found in several places you might visit every day – and they can easily cling to a purse, coat, or pant leg. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tip #1: <\/em><\/strong><\/span>CLEAN UP THE CLUTTER: <\/span>Bed bugs are experts at hiding and finding them can pres- ent quite a challenge. Heavily cluttered dwellings create a million and one places for bed bugs to hide. If you have piles of boxes, newspapers, magazines, clothes, or just \u201cstuff,\u201d it\u2019s time you clean it up. Doing this will make it easier to find them, should you ever get them. <\/span><\/p>\n
Tip #2<\/strong><\/em>: <\/span>MAKING HOUSEHOLD REPAIRS:<\/span> Take away or fill up as many possible hiding spac- es for bed bugs; separations between baseboards, grout, seams of wallpaper, crown molding, door jams. Clear silicone fills these areas so bed bugs cannot enter. Consider replacing worn car- peting with tile, and because bed bugs travel along routes created by pipes, cables and electrical conduits, seal any openings where pipes, wires or other utilities come into your home. <\/span><\/p>\n
Tip #3:<\/em> <\/span><\/strong>AVOID DANGEROUS SHOPPING LOCATIONS:<\/span> Avoid shopping at thrift stores, pawn- shops, and Craig\u2019s list. Be mindful of anything borrowed or given to you or discarded furniture or mattresses found at the curbside. Any of these items should be thoroughly inspected for bed bugs before bringing them into your home. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
