Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs also known as Cimex lectularius
Bed bugs are parasitic insects of the cimicid family that feed exclusively on blood. Bed bugs feed upon the blood of humans or even your pets. Their food source is blood, specifically from you and your family or your business customers. Therefore, it's imperative to have a plan against these pests.
Bed bugs are reddish-brown, small, and are about I/4 inch long, wingless, flattened bodies, with six legs. Bed bugs are active mainly at night. During the daytime, they prefer to hide close to where people sleep.
Their flattened bodies enable them to fit into tiny crevices–especially those associated with mattresses, box springs, bed frames and headboards. Under favorable conditions (70-80°F), the bugs can mature fully in as little as a month, producing multiple generations per year.
If there any possible infestation of these tiny pests the clean-up process is very intensive to end the possible infestation. Just be aware, that you might need to discard the mattress or mattresses depending on the seriousness of the infestation.
Here is a list of the most common signs of a possible infestation:
- Bloodstains on your sheets or pillowcases
- Dark or rusty spots of bedbug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bedclothes, and walls
- An offensive, musty odor from the bugs' scent glands
- Itchy welts in the morning when you wake up
- Bedbug fecal spots, eggshells, or shed skins in areas where bedbugs hide
