If you suspect you have bed bugs in your Sacramento home, you need professional help to get rid of them. Pest control experts say bed bugs are the hardest pest to eliminate. They are definitely not a DIY project. You need to call a Sacramento pest control company such as EcoTech Pest Management to eliminate your bed bug problem once and for all.
How Can I Be Sure It's Bed Bugs In My Home?
To know whether you have them in your home, you need to know how to find bed bugs. There are several signs you can look for:
- Red spots on your bedding
- Red, brown, or black spots on your mattress and box spring
- Pearly white eggs that are about 1/16 inch long
- Shed skin that's yellow or tan
- Bites on your arms or legs that result in small, red welts in groups or a straight line of three or four bites
- Bed bug nymphs between the size of a period at the end of a sentence and ¼ inch long
- Full-grown bed bugs, which are ¼ inch long, brown, and very flat, unless they've fed recently, in which case, they're longer, fatter, and redder
If you see any of these signs, it's important that you call EcoTech Pest Management immediately for bed bug control in Sacramento.
How Bed Bugs Sneak Their Way Into Our Homes
Bed bugs in Sacramento are the consummate hitchhikers. They can't fly or jump, so they have to crawl onto you or your belongings to catch a ride into your home. Unfortunately, they can be found wherever people congregate, including:
- Schools
- Daycare centers
- Churches
- Retail stores
- Theaters
- Libraries
- Office buildings
- Hotels and motels
- Airports
- Public transportation hubs
If you happen to be out and about somewhere bed bugs have infested, they'll crawl up on your clothing, shoes, bag, or other belongings and ride home with you. They'll eventually make their way to your bedroom, where you spend the majority of your time. If you think bed bugs have hitched a ride into your home, you need to call EcoTech Pest Management for local pest control for bed bugs.
How Can I Prevent Bed Bugs From Coming Into My House?
To prevent bed bugs from coming into your Sacramento home, you need to practice constant vigilance. Check your hotel room for signs of bed bugs before settling in for the night. Never leave your belongings on the floor or close to other people's belongings in public spaces.
Don't buy second-hand furniture without thoroughly inspecting it first. If you see any indications of bed bugs, don't buy the piece. A new mattress may cost more than a second-hand one, but it's worth the peace of mind of knowing that you aren't introducing a pest into your life.
It's not just furniture that can transport bed bugs into your home. Electronics like TVs, stereos, and alarm clocks can be a haven for bed bugs, too.
