Getting Rid Of Bed Bugs in Homes

When it comes to household pests, there are a variety of types that may become unwanted visitors in your residence. These could range from centipedes in the summer to stink bugs in the fall. However, one common issue that many people see year-round is the presence of bed bugs. Fortunately, the experts at IPM Pest & Termite can help you when it comes to getting rid of bed bugs and other nuisances.

These insects are about the size of an apple seed and appear reddish-brown in color. Typically, these pests come out at night and will bite exposed skin on humans or animals as they sleep. Due to the fact that they tend to be nocturnal and live in hard-to-reach places, such as mattress seams or spines of books, getting rid of bed bugs can prove to be a bit difficult without the assistance of professionals.

Additionally, these pests can be picked up nearly anywhere, ranging from hotels to gyms. From there, they can then be brought back to your residence unbeknownst to you. They can even be brought home if you buy a piece of used furniture or clothing. There are a few preventative steps you can take when it comes to getting rid of bed bugs before using pesticides to treat the area. These steps could include washing and drying bed linens, inspecting your home after moving or overnight guests, and removing clutter.

When it comes to actually treating the area, eradication typically pairs pesticide and non-pesticide approaches. Heat treating, encasing mattresses, and vacuuming are a few things we may do in order to properly clear your residence of these insects.
