The 411 on Bed Bugs and Clutter

In the battle against the Bed Bug, studies have shown that the more clutter present in a home with a bed bug infestation, the more difficult it is to treat the residence appropriately. When clutter is involved, that simply provides more hiding spaces for bed bugs to continue to reproduce and lay eggs, breeding and multiplying the population within your residence. From one bedroom apartments and condos to 4 and 5 bedroom homes, clutter is simply not a good thing if there are bed bugs present in your home.

With Allied Services in the Chicago land region, we have a vast array of bed bug services available, including Preparation Services and Dryer Trailer Services to handle any size bed bug job.

Identification of Bed Bugs!

If you think you have bed bugs, or are exhibiting any of the symptoms (Grouped bites, itching red marks, mold spots on mattress, etc.) you can use the following tips to identify an infestation. If the problem exists, a pest control company needs to be contacted immediately to keep the infestation from getting worse. Home self treatments should never be implemented as bed bugs are a pest that must be left to professionals to deal with!

Here are some helpful tips:

• Bed bug bites are the easiest way to find out if there is an infestation.
• Bites will be grouped and very red.
• Bites will itch, but be sure to keep from itching them, or they will spread and worsen.
• Mattress Cracks
• Holes
• Folds in linens
• Drapes / Curtains
• Carpets
• Blood Strains on Sheets
• Cracks and Crevices
• Check for dead bugs in all of the previous places. Finding dead bed bugs is the first sign that they are actually present.
• Bed bugs have been around throughout recorded history.
• Female bed bugs can lay up to 5 eggs a day and 500 eggs during a life time.
• Untreated one bed bug can turn into 32,000 bugs in just 6 months.
• Bed Bugs can hide in cracks, crevices, and behind baseboards and molding. This can make them difficult to detect.
• Treatments should include encasement's for mattresses and box springs, heat, interceptors / climb ups on furniture legs, and non-toxic insecticides.

Evidence of Bed Bugs

This is clear evidence of bed bugs on a mattress/box spring. Besides the few bugs you can actually see, take notice of all the spotting. The spotting is a combination of blood, fecal matter, and casings. The casings are the yellowish colored spots. Casings are the old skin and body that bed bugs shed as they grow and mature. If you see spotting like this, chances are you already have a pretty severe bed bug infestation.

Call Allied Services. We can help you out in the Chicagoland and Northwestern Indiana area!

Confirming A Bed Bug Infestation

Confirming a bed bug infestation is the first step toward controlling them and treating for them. If bed bugs are suspected, specimens should be collected if possible and turned in to your pest control professional upon their visit to your home. If you cannot collect a specimen, rest assured the pest control professional will be able to determine if you had bed bugs usually with a visual inspection. If bed bugs or bed bug activity is not evident, a K-9 inspection may be called for.

When bed bugs are suspected or confirmed, notify property management staff or your pest control company immediately, if privately owned. 

Bed bugs have been declared a public nuisance by the city administration in the city of Chicago. The only way to get a handle on this epidemic is to have your property properly treated by a certified pest control expert capable of treating for bed bugs. 

If your current pest control company is simply coming in and "spraying" for bed bugs, rest assured, they will not go away. Instead, they will scatter and continue to multiply.

At Allied Services, we have a couple different ways we can treat for bed bugs. Both are quite effective and efficient. If you suspect bed bugs in your home in Northwestern Indiana or the Chicagoland area, call us today to schedule an inspection.

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.
