Hopkinton MA Pest Control Advice On How To Get Rid Of Bedbugs

By Allan Iacovelli


Bed bugs were fairly non-existent in the United States after WWII, but recent years have seen their populations increasing drastically. Unlike many bug infestations, you may experience the bites for some time without ever seeing what is causing the problem. This is because the bugs feed at night and right before dawn. They feed then find a hiding place, not staying on humans. Because of their small size, they can live in cracks You may consider too small for habitation.

Indications of bedbugs

The first sign you may have bedbugs is the red, itchy bite marks on places such as arms and face that seem to appear overnight. While the bedbug is feeding, it injects a deadening chemical so his bite is not felt. It is only when this wears off that you find yourself itching. By then, the bed bug is back in hiding. Other signs that you may have an infestation is random blood spots on your bedding and possibly the discarded skins of bugs that have grown.

The bugs increase in size and become five times bigger than when they first hatch. Every time they grow, the need to eat and then they shed off their skin. It's hard to spot the skin of the smaller bugs, since the skins are lighter in color, but you can see the skins of big bugs, since they are often brown in color. When you notice these signs, check your mattress and bed to see if there are any dark spots in corners, as this is where the bugs live.

What to do

Having the bugs does not mean that you are a dirty person, it just means that you need to hire a professional to get rid of them. This is because most over the counter solutions do not work. Hire a professional exterminator to do the job for you.

An adult bedbug can live up to a year without feeding. During her lifetime, the female can lay thousands of eggs. It is necessary to rid the home of eggs as well as adults to be effective. Often, extreme heat is the only thing that will work completely.
