Bed Bug Bites Are Usually The First Sign Of A Problem
No one likes waking up with bed bug bites covering their skin. They’re itchy, uncomfortable, and downright frustrating to deal with. Bed bug bites often occur in rows or clusters on exposed areas of skin, such as your arms, legs, and neck. Unfortunately, bites are often the first indicator of a bed bug infestation on your property. Some other early signs of bed bugs include:
- Scattered spots of bed bug fecal matter on your bedding and sheets
- Small, reddish-brown bloodstains are left behind on clothing and blankets after bed bugs finish feeding
- An unpleasant musty odor in your home that resembles the smell of coriander
- Adult bed bugs, whether alive or dead, found within your home
- Tiny bed bug eggs in the creases of your mattresses
Bed bug infestations cause much stress for vail homeowners. If you notice bed bugs in your home, don’t hesitate to contact our professionals from RAM Wildlife & Pest Management today!
Bed Bugs Won't Just Go Away On Their Own
Many people think if you avoid the room bed bugs have infested, they’ll eventually go away because they don’t have access to a blood meal. However, this could take months to work, if at all. Bed bugs reproduce rapidly, so if you don’t eliminate them immediately, your infestation will continue to worsen. Adult female bed bugs can lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetime. Once those eggs hatch, it takes about five weeks to mature into adult bed bugs and produce their eggs. Bed bug infestations never go away with time. Instead, they multiply and create more significant problems in your Vail home.
Why Do-It-Yourself Bed Bug Control Often Fails
When you’re being bitten by bed bugs every night, the only natural reaction is to try and find any way to eliminate them. Many homeowners turn to online DIY control methods to protect their homes from these irritating pests. Unfortunately, DIY bed bug control is often more time-consuming and complicated than it’s worth. Bed bugs hide away from humans inside deep cracks and crevices; this means that most conventional forms of DIY treatments won’t reach the bed bugs you want to eliminate. In addition, some bed bugs have grown resistant to many pesticides.
The best way to eliminate a bed bug infestation is with help from our technicians at RAM Wildlife & Pest Management.
