Bed bugs are more than just a minor inconvenience—they’re persistent pests that can disrupt your peace of mind and your sleep. Understanding these creatures is the first step toward effective control and prevention. Let’s dive into the essentials of bed bugs: how to identify an infestation, their life cycle, and their behavior.
Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. Despite their tiny size, they can cause big problems. These pests are experts at hiding and can go undetected for months even in a well established infestation.
Key Characteristics:
Spotting bed bugs can be tricky because they’re experts at staying hidden. However, there are some signs to look out for, as they indicate a potential infestation:
Understanding the life cycle of bed bugs can help you know what you’re up against and why it’s essential to act quickly.
Did You Know: Bed bugs can survive for months without feeding, which makes them particularly resilient. In the 1950s these pests were almost entirely exterminated with the help of DDT, but they managed to survive and now have a very high resistance to general pesticides.
Bed bugs are nocturnal creatures, typically feeding at night when their hosts are asleep. They’re attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide that humans emit, which is why they tend to gather in sleeping areas like beds, couches, and recliners, and they’re only active while you’re asleep, so it can be hard to even spot one bed bug, even if you have an infestation you’re aware of.
Bed bugs are not just a nuisance; they can pose serious risks to your health, mental health, and overall well-being. These tiny pests have a knack for staying hidden, making it difficult to detect an infestation until it’s well-established. Understanding the dangers of bed bugs and knowing how to identify their bites are essential for protecting your home and family.
Bed bugs are often associated with itchy bites and sleepless nights, but the dangers extend beyond physical discomfort. While they don’t transmit diseases, the impact of a bed bug infestation can be significant:
It’s easy to mistake bed bug bites for those of mosquitoes, fleas, or even hives. Here’s how to differentiate them:
At Pestex, we’ve honed our bed bug extermination process to perfection, ensuring that every step is designed for thorough, effective, and long-lasting results. Bed bugs are persistent, but our methodical, three-visit approach ensures they’re completely removed from your home.
Our bed bug extermination process begins with a thorough inspection of your home. This allows us to pinpoint the exact areas where bed bugs are hiding, from mattresses and bedding to baseboards and sofas. Once we’ve identified the infestation hotspots, we proceed with the first chemical treatment, powerful enough to eliminate the bed bugs then and there.
Key Aspects of the First Treatment:
Targeted Application: We use specialized insecticides and chemicals that are proven to eliminate bed bugs at all stages of their life cycle. This first treatment aims to reduce the population by targeting visible bed bugs and those in easily accessible areas, while also leaving a residue that continues to exterminate any bugs that revisit the hotspot.
Safety First: Our certified technicians apply the treatment carefully, being entirely safe for your family and pets while ensuring maximum effectiveness against bed bugs.
After the initial treatment, we schedule a second visit to apply a follow-up chemical treatment. This step is crucial for eliminating any remaining bed bugs that may have survived the first round or were hiding during the initial application. As Bed Bugs were nearly exterminated using DDT in the 1950s, the survivors repopulated across Canada with a very strong resilience to insecticides and chemicals. This is why it is crucial to be thorough in exterminating Bed Bugs, to stop them from ever returning.
Importance of the Second Treatment:
The final step in our process is what sets Pestex apart. We return for a third visit to conduct a thorough re-inspection and apply a precautionary treatment using APPREHEND, a biological fungal treatment specifically designed for bed bug extermination.
The combination of chemical and biological treatments, along with multiple visits, ensures that our bed bug extermination process is as thorough and effective as possible. Each step is designed to address the different stages of a bed bug’s life cycle, ensuring that no stone is left unturned, and the infestation never returns!
