What Causes Bed Bugs?

Sep 06, 2022
Bed bugs are one of the most difficult pests to remove in the home, and they may be found almost anywhere in the world, including the United States. Infestations can occur almost anyplace people go, including hotels, hospitals, and modes of public transportation. Bed bugs, due to their small size and flattened form, can hide in strange places such as couches, picture frames, and behind electrical switch plates.

How Do Bed Bugs Get Into Your Home?

So, how can bed bugs sneak into your home in the first place? Bed bugs are infamous for their ability to hitchhike. If you notice evidence of a bed bug infestation in your home for the first time, they most likely came in as a stowaway on a purse, luggage, or clothing.

Bed bugs may be hiding in used furniture, notably mattresses, box springs, couches, and chairs. If you buy used furniture, make careful to fully inspect it for any signs of bed bugs, such as cast skins, eggs, fecal stains, or the insects themselves. Pay particular attention to seams or folds in the cloth and investigate with a high-powered flashlight.

Bed bugs thrive in lodging facilities such as hotels and motels, so be cautious when traveling to avoid unintentionally bringing bed bugs home with you. Before unpacking, always thoroughly search your room for any signs of bed insect activity to avoid any unpleasant experiences. Mattress seams, headboards, sofas, and chairs are common spots to evaluate. While you complete your inspection, leave your luggage in the bathroom or entryway and avoid laying luggage on any furniture until you have had the opportunity to guarantee the item is bed bug free. If you uncover indications of an infestation, leave immediately to avoid spreading bed bugs into your home.

How Do You Get Bed Bugs in Your Bed?

Why do bed bugs go to your bed once they've infiltrated your home? Bed bugs are drawn to regions where humans spend a lot of time. When they arrive, they will seek out dark hiding places that are close to and convenient to their food source. Beds are an ideal hiding place for bed bugs since they can readily come out to feed at night while we sleep. If they are disturbed, they can immediately escape to the shelter of the bed frame or mattress. While bed bug infestations are commonly linked with beds, they are quickly transmitted throughout the home and can be found on furniture other than the bedroom.

What to Do if You Get Bed Bugs

If you suspect a bed bug infestation, contact a pest control professional immediately. Because bed bugs reproduce swiftly, time is of the essential when dealing with an infestation.

Prepare your NYC Home For Winter Pests

By Jet Pest Control • 12 Oct, 2022
As winter approaches in New York City and surrounding areas, rodents such as mice and rats will attempt to enter our homes. The most common rodents found in human structures are the house mouse, deer mouse, Norway rat, roof rat, and, on rare occasions, the vole. During the winter, invasive creatures are vulnerable to extreme cold and seek warmth and shelter. But that does not have to be your permanent address. Pests are bothersome and can endanger your health and the condition of your home. Most pests transmit disease, and some even transmit other pests. Furthermore, rodents can chew through wires and woodwork, resulting in power outages and even fires.
