If you are a victim of bed bugs presence, even in autumn or winter, you are not alone. The presence of these insects is synonymous of shame for many people. This should not be the case since the presence of this parasite is not related to a lack of cleanliness. Don't worry, you can get rid of them! We offer essential information about this insect, its behavior, its impact on your health and how to properly choose your exterminator. Know first that when the time comes to fight against them, it is important to act quickly. So we've gathered 5 dramatic signs that will make you move quickly in the fight against these bugs!
1. They're an unhealthy presence in your bed that feeds your blood!
The bed bug is not bigger than apple seed. Once adult, active one can lives generally between 4 and 12 months, while they can survive without food up to 18 months under certain conditions. Among the factors that affect its life, there are among other the room temperature, available food and the environment. It is essential to know that the presence of bed bugs is not synonymous of poor hygiene! They can infest clean and substandard homes. As they hate daily light, the number of available hiding places (e.g. cracks, cluttered rooms) helps them to proliferate rapidly.
Bed bugs feed on human blood. A colony of them can bite a person 500 times in one night. A real vampire! You must distinguish the bed bugs of fleas, which in failing to have the blood of animals to eat, can attack any part of the human body. In addition, the flea can jump from one person to another over a distance of about 15 inches, while the other does not jump nor fly.
2. Nobody is immune from their infestation: they can come from anywhere...
Bed bugs find shelter in your home or your business in many ways. They can be present on the clothing of a customer, in a mattress recovered from the street, on the seat of a bus, in clothes from thrift stores, at travel abroad, in shelters, etc. They may arise from neighboring houses, personal effects of somebody, a school bag of a person affected, coat daycare, a store infected, etc. No one is immune! We saw them everywhere in major hotels, the White House, United Nations, New York, in large clothing stores, etc.. And unlike lice or other parasites, they do not live on humans.
If you think you have a problem with bed bugs, you should check out the following places to see if there are living ones:
- Seams, creases and folds of mattresses and box springs; - Cracks in the frame and headboard; - Under sofas, beds, covers; - Between the cushions of couches and chairs; - Under the edges of rugs and carpets; - Between the folds of curtains; - In the drawers.
3. Bed bugs reproduce quickly... Too quickly!
Adult females lay two to five eggs per day, between 300 and 500 eggs during their lifetime. Therefore, it needs just the presence of 2 or 3 of this insect in order to create a real infestation! After 3-6 months of maturation and exponential reproduction, the evolution of the infestation can quickly change a few individuals in hundreds of thousand insects!
