Why Are Bed Bugs Considered Pests?

They may be tiny, but they can cause big headaches! Here’s why these wingless insects are true pests:

• They feed on blood meal, leaving itchy welts and causing discomfort as you try to rest. Some people even have allergic reactions to bites.
• A bed bug infestation can quickly grow out of control since a single female lays hundreds of eggs in her lifetime. This means the population keeps increasing.
• Bed bugs are great at hiding in tiny crevices and cracks in furniture, floorboards, and bed. So they’re difficult to find and treat.
• While they don’t spread disease, they can cause mental health impact, anxiety, and sleep deprivation with their persistent nightly bed bug bites.
• Frequent travel, buying used furniture, and living in crowded housing raise your risk of getting bed bug. But proper inspection and treatment can keep them away.

As you can see, bed bugs aren’t just a nuisance – they can negatively impact quality of life. That’s why it’s so important to get an infestation under control right away with our licensed pest management technicians.

Signs Of Bed Bug

Wondering if those mysterious bite marks and blood spots mean you have unwanted bed bug guests? Here are the top signs an infestation may be lurking:

• Wake up with red, swollen, itchy bed bug bites, especially on areas like your arms, neck, and face that were exposed. They often appear in a line or cluster.
• See dark blotches on your sheets or mattress from crushed bed bug or their excrement. Blotches may be red from your blood.
• Notice a sweet, musty smell in the air. This is from the bugs’ scent glands.
• Catch a glimpse of tiny, flat, brownish bugs scurrying away and hiding when you approach the bed. They’re about the size of an apple seed.
• See tiny white eggs or empty eggshells, which look like translucent skins, in crevices and cracks.

How To Prevent Bed Bugs : DIY Bed Bug Control Tips

Use these pro tips to keep the biting pests away:

• Carefully inspect and wash all secondhand furniture, bedding, and clothing using hot water before bringing them home. Bed bug loves hitching rides into new home environment.
• Thoroughly check luggage after trips and immediately launder all clothing items once home. Bed bug lurks in hotels and can latch onto your stuff.
• Use protective mattress and box spring covers that zip shut and trap bugs inside. This also lets you spot bed bugs easily.
• Reduce bedroom clutter like stacks of papers and cardboard that provide ideal hiding spots for the bugs.
• Vacuum crevices in bedroom furniture frequently using attachments to suck up hiding bugs. Empty the vacuum immediately after into a sealed bag.
• Inspect the perimeter of your mattress seams for signs of infestation on a regular basis. Catch bugs early before populations explode.

FAQs

How common are bed bugs in Melbourne?

They can be found year-round in homes and hotels in Melbourne. However, infestations are not extremely widespread. Being vigilant and contacting bed bug control experts at any early signs can help keep bugs from establishing a foothold.

What temperature kills bed bug instantly?

Exposing bed bug to temperatures of at least 45°C (113F) for over an hour will kill all their life stages, including eggs. Professional treatments by pest control technicians can raise bedroom temperatures high enough to instantly kill bugs.

What time of year are bed bugs most active?

Adult bed bugs feed on human blood and bite people mostly during the night. So their peak time for activity and feeding is usually between about midnight and dawn when hosts are in bed. Their activity patterns can shift slightly based on your sleeping habits.

How Much does Bed Bug Control Treatment Cost?

Professional bed bug treatment costs around $500 to $1,000 or more depending on the size of your home and the extent of the infestation. Multiroom homes with large infestations that have spread widely will fall into the higher end of pricing.
