Pests We Treat - This was a full infestation.
One of the earliest and most common sign of a bed bug infestation is unexplained, mysterious bites found on your body. If you've gone to bed without any bites and wake up with itchy, irritated bites on exposed areas of your body, especially when you see a few bites all in a row, bed bugs may well be the culprit. Often, you won't see live bed bugs until the infestation is heavy. Until then, the signs are more subtle. Besides bites, finding pepper-like black spots (bed bug fecal deposits) on your pillows, sheets, blankets, and furniture is another common bed bug sign. Even if you just think you have bed bugs, don't wait for a positive confirmation. The safe thing to so is to call in a bed bug specialist. Bed bug populations increase quickly and waiting will just make the problem worse. If you've recently been on a trip or your children are returning from camp or college, they may have carried bed bugs with them. They are stealth hitchhikers that will hide in luggage and other personal items. Finally, you can't just leave your home to resolve an infestation, even for an extended period of time. Bed bugs can go for over a year without a feeding depending on temperature and humidity levels.
