Bed Bug Facts
Bed bugs are small, with flat, round bodies that are reddish-brown in color, usually about a quarter of an inch in length. However, they can increase by 50% in length and 200% in weight after a meal. A single feeding can sustain a bed bug for several days. Female bed bugs are prolific, capable of laying over 200 eggs during their lifetime, which can quickly lead to large infestations. Their rapid reproduction rate, coupled with their ability to survive without food for up to a year, can make infestations persistent and difficult to eliminate. It’s crucial to act swiftly and contact professionals like us at your earliest convenience to address the problem effectively.
Signs Of An Bed Bug Problem
Are you noticing multiple bug bites on your arms or legs, or perhaps blood stains on your mattress and sheets? It might be time to call Ridtechs Pest Solutions to check for a potential bed bug infestation.
Bed bugs tend to be inactive during the day, emerging at night attracted by the carbon dioxide we exhale. They often hide in places like mattress seams, pillowcases, crevices in headboards or baseboards, the bed frame itself, as well as in dressers and end tables. Signs of bed bugs include not only bites but also visible blood spots on furniture and bedding. Let our experts at Ridtechs Pest Solutions handle the identification and treatment to ensure your space is bed bug-free.
How We Deal With Bed Bugs
Treatment is based on signs. Removing bed bugs from your house is commonly challenging, in part because bed bugs can endure without feeding between 20-400 days depending on the temperature. Multiple treatments are necessary to eliminate the issue, but it’s not uncommon to have to do more than two treatments depending on the infestation. We ask that you keep in communication with us in the following days after our treatments to gauge activity and affectivity. It usually does not take more than 2 to 3 treatments unless it is a severe case.
Along with the spray application, any sheets, clothing, or anything that can be tossed in the dryer should be put inside for 90 minutes as the heat will kill the remaining bed bugs. Vacuuming often can also reduce the chances of re-infestation. After our technicians do a full inspection and identify the area as pest free, you will be provided with a 90-day warranty. If you spot a single bed bug during this time period, we will come back and provide a treatment for free.
Common Types of Bed Bugs
There are only two species of bed bugs, Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus. These pests are highly adaptable and can thrive in a wide range of environments, from near-freezing conditions to temperatures as high as 122 degrees Fahrenheit. This broad adaptability makes them particularly challenging to eradicate without effective pest control methods.
