In North Carolina, bed bugs are a common pest in many households, though they often go undetected. Thats why Cleggs specializes in bed bug pest control and detection.
Our bed bug pest control plans are custom tailored to your specific situation and needs. Not all bed bug infestations are the same. Despite their name, bed bugs can also infest cushioned furniture and other areas of your home. One of the most proven and effective methods to control bed bug infestations is heat treatments. Learn more about our bed bug heat treatments here.
Detecting the bed bugs can often be the most part of bed bug pest control. This is why Cleggs has employed two bed bug detection dogs. These dogs can sniff out bed bug infestations so our pest control professionals know where to implement our bed bug pest control solutions.
Bed bugs are one of the most prevalent species of insect in the U.S. Based on the latestBugs Without Borders Survey, conducted by the National Pest Management Association and the University of Kentucky, 99.6% of pest control professionals stated that they had come across a bed bug infestation in the last year.
This is why bed bug pest control is so vital. It is often difficult to determine whether you actually have an infestation but some of the warning signs are:
Bed bug bites are usually the early warning sign of a bed bug infestation. Bed bugs feed only on blood. Each life stage feeds, except the egg.
Allergic reactions vary widely from practically no reaction to small itchy red or white bumps, to blisters or pustules. Not every person in a residence will react the same way and many times only one person will show signs of bites, leading others to believe it cannot be bed bugs. If you someone you now has bites, consider the following:
If left untreated, bed bug infestations will just get worse. Bed bugs will travel on clothing or personal items, so if you do not treat your home and remove the infestation, you may cause the spread of these annoying bugs.
Adults and all nymphal stages need to take blood meals from warm-blooded hosts, which are typically humans although other mammals and birds can be utilized in the absence of a human host. Female bed bugs lay about five eggs daily throughout their adult lives in a sheltered location (mattress seams, crevices in box springs, spaces under baseboards, etc). Eggs hatch in about 4-12 days into first instar nymphs which must take a blood meal before molting to the next stage. The bugs will undergo five nymphal stages, each one requiring a blood meal before molting to the next stage, with the fifth stage molting into an adult.
Nymphs, resemble smaller versions of adults. Nymphs and adults take about 5-10 minutes to obtain a full blood meal. The adults may take several blood meals over several weeks, assuming a warm-blooded host is available. Mating occurs off the host. Adults live 6-18 months and may survive for long periods of time without feeding.
If you think you have bed bugs,contact Cleggstoday to see how we can help eliminate the infestation.
Cleggs has acquired trained bed bug dogs whose job is to sniff out bed bugs in homes and businesses so that our trained pest professionals can treat the infestation. Learn more about Smoke and Rambo.
