Bed bug infestation continues to be a nuisance that many households face. Expert Pest has years of experience in effectively treating bed bugs throughout the Massillon area. Our team wants to help you understand bed bugs, where to find them, and the bed bug extermination process.
Bed bugs are found throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Bed bugs are brown to reddish-brown in color. They are 3/16 to 1/5 inch long. Bed bugs flat, oval-shape bodies enable them to readily hide in cracks and crevices. Common bed bug hiding places include:
- Beds
- Mattresses
- Bed frames
- Gaps in woodwork, trim, and furniture
- Inside drapery pleats
- Behind peeling wallpaper
- Picture frames
- Wall hangings
Bed bugs choose a sleeping, unsuspecting host from which they feed. Typically, their preferred hosts are humans but they have also been known to feed on birds and rodents. The bug pierces the skin with its extended mouth parts, and it injects saliva as it probes for blood vessels and feeds on blood. Humans experience varying reactions to bed bugs including inflamed, colorless welts or lumps with severe itching. These bites commonly occur in a series of two or three bites in close proximity.
Finding Bed Bugs
To check for bed bugs, search the common bed bug hiding spots. Check these spots with a flashlight. You will be looking for small, smeared black dots (fecal stains). Expert Pest recommends beginning with where you sleep including mattress and key parts of the bed.
If bed bugs are detected, we find it important for our clients to reflect on how the bed bugs might have gotten there. Key questions to consider include:
- Have you traveled or been on vacation recently?
- Was there a guest staying at your house?
