Bed Bug Detection: How To Spot And Confirm An Infestation
Most people first realize that they have a bed bug infestation when they see a bed bug inside their home. These little bugs are oval-shaped, have flat reddish-brown bodies, and are about the size of an apple seed. Because they tend to live in large groups, if you see one bed bug in your house, you likely already have a bed bug infestation.
Before the infestation becomes severe, there may only be a few bugs in your home, which can be easy to overlook. If you cannot see bed bugs with your own eyes, there are still a few clues that can let you know they are around.
Some of the telltalesigns of bed bugsin your home include:
- Dark, reddish-brown fecal spots smeared on your walls, bedding, or furniture
- Small, white eggs or egg shells found in the folds of mattresses or in between the joints of furniture
- Translucent bed bug skin casings around your home
Bed bugs get their name because you generally find them underneath mattresses. However, you can actually find bed bugs in any part of your home. They hide in laundry, under furniture cushions, and even inside electrical devices.
Bed Bug Problems: They Aren't Just Going Away
Bed bugs have high reproduction rates. They need the protein from human blood to reproduce eggs. After taking just one blood meal, bed bugs can lay around five eggs each day for up to ten days. As long as they have a reliable food source, bed bugs in your homewill multiply daily.
Many people mistakenly think that if you remove their food source for a few days, the bed bugs will go away on their own, but this is far from the truth. Bed bugs can survive for several months without eating. Some bed bugs can go for a year without eating. This means that if you were to leave your home for an extended period, hoping that the bed bugs would all be dead by the time you returned, you would need to stay away from your home for an entire year. The only true way to get bed bugs to leave your home is to call a Plymouth bed bug control specialist.
