Bed Bugs Control

Bed bugs are insects that are particularly unsettling to have in our homes. The sole source of nutrition for bed bugs is blood from warm-blooded animals. Unfortunately, human blood is their preferred food source. Like all other living creatures, bed bugs want to live near their favorite food source, which means they regularly infest our homes and businesses to be close to their hosts.

A bed bug infestation can happen to anyone in any of our homes. The presence of bed bugs is never an indicator of how well you clean your house. Bed bugs are hitchhiking pests and move wherever we take them. They move from place to place on our clothing or inside personal belongings like bags or pieces of luggage. Bed bug infestations also occur after homeowners purchase infested secondhand items like upholstered furniture or mattresses. Once introduced into a home, bed bugs will make quick work of finding a daytime hideout that puts them near their food source (you and your family). Then they will emerge at night to feed on your blood as you sleep. The bed bug’s ability to remain hidden allows these prolific breeders to build large, unsettling populations before you finally discover their presence.
