Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. They have increased in numbers in recent years and are a widespread problem. Not only do they inflict painful bites, but they are also masters at hiding in tiny spaces, making eradication challenging. Homeowners often need professional interventions to address these persistent invaders.
In this blog, the experts from PCC will explain how to confirm an intrusion and why these unwanted guests like to bite sleeping people. We will also show you how to eliminate them with top-rated bed bug control in St. Charles.
Bed Bug Detection: How To Spot And Confirm An Infestation
Let's review all the ways to spot and confirm an infestation. It will enable you to notice early signs of bed bugs and begin treatments early for fast results.
First, you should thoroughly inspect your bed, including your mattress, box spring, and headboard, for everything from live bed bugs to rust-colored stains. Remember to check folds and seams, as bed bugs are adept at hiding. You can use a flashlight to look inside dark crevices.
Additionally, look for bites on your skin. If you find some arranged in clusters or rows, they could be another indicator of bed bug activity.
Still, you could have an infestation without finding definitive evidence. PCC can help you identify them and stop them from feasting on you and your loved ones at night.
Why Bed Bugs Like To Bite Sleeping People
There are many reasons why bed bugs go for people who are asleep. Part of it is because the carbon dioxide we exhale and our body heat attract them. They can detect us through their heat-sensitive antennae and will try to obtain a blood meal when we are least likely to notice them.
Also, we are typically less active when we sleep, making it easier for bed bugs to feed without being disturbed. If these opportunistic feeders are ruining your sleep and multiplying out of control, it is time to learn how to get rid of them for good.
