What To Watch Out For In Spotting Bed Bugs

Spotting such as this is a major sign to watch out for when trying to figure out if there are bed bugs present in your home or bedroom. This is fecal matter left behind by bed bugs. Others signs to look for are blood stains, casings from them shedding their skin and growing, droppings, eggs, and of course, actual bed bugs.

Bed Bugs Before and After One Blood Meal Feeding

As you look at this photo of bed bugs, the "start" shows a bed bug as it is about to start feeding on a human. Then it shows the stages of feeding every 3 minutes. Notice at the end of 12 minutes how the bed bug body is expanded. It is now full of one blood meal from a human and is capable of living for up to 6 months on that one meal. Within 6 months, it may reproduce several times. One female lays up to 5 eggs per day. Do the math! That is up to 900 eggs in just 6 months being hatched. And the cycle continues. More bugs are created, thus worsening any infestation you might have currently and creating more bugs that must feed on human blood. Call us to get rid of that infestation today.
Allied Services serves the greater Chicagoland and Northwestern Indiana area.

History of Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs were nearly wiped out in the United States in the 1950's and 60's. Bed Bugs started popping up again in the late 1990's. These pests have been around throughout recorded history. Female bed bugs can lay up to 5 eggs a day and 500 eggs during one life time. Untreated, on bug can turn into 32,000 in just 6 months. Bed Bugs hide in cracks, crevices, and behind baseboards and moldings as well as in your mattress, headboard, bed frame, night stand, and box spring.

Steps That Will Not Work To Get Rid of Bed Bugs

  • The following steps will simply not work in trying to "get rid of bed bugs."
  • Abandoning the infested room
  • Moving to a new location
  • Use of "bug bombs" or foggers
  • Simply throwing away furniture and buying new furniture
  • Sleeping with the ligths on
  • Dousing belongings, bed or yourself in pesticides
You need a qualified pest control company who is fully capable in treating bed bug infested living quarters such as homes, apartments, etc. If your current pest company simply sprays around your home for bed bugs, it will NOT work. Each home and case is unique when fighting off bed bugs. Call Allied Services for your expert pest control needs. (855) 855-BUGS Serving the greater Chicagoland area. www.gobugfree.com
