Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed exclusively on blood. Infestations often result from domestic and international travel. Hotels, motels, and Airbnbs are prime spots for picking them up due to high guest turnover. While they don’t transmit diseases, they can cause negative health impacts, including allergic reactions and severe itching. Eliminating them requires a professional, multi-step approach.
Signs of Bed Bug Infestation
Early detection is crucial to prevent prolonged infestations and discomfort. Watch for these common signs:
- Bites on skin, often in clusters or lines.
- Small bloodstains on bedding or mattresses.
- Dark fecal spots on mattresses and nearby furniture.
- Shed skins from molting bed bugs.
- A sweet, musty odor in infested areas.
These indicators point to an active infestation and the need for professional bed bug control to protect your home and health.
