Bed bugs are nasty creatures. They are very tiny and swell with your blood. They leave large red bumps that look like boils or undeveloped pimples. They infest bedrooms and never leave unless they are fumigated. And unfortunately, it's hard to tell whether they exist or whether you just have a nasty case of mosquitoes. Bed bug inspection is one way to know for certain.
Bed bug detection by bed bug sniffing dogs or any other professional bed bug inspection company is the best way to know if you have bed bugs or not. Just because you've looked for bed bugs and haven't been able to find them, doesn't mean they aren't there. Bed bugs are really small - when they haven't eaten (drunk your blood) they are just a few millimeters long; adults are up to 5 mm long and 3 mm wide.
Grossly, bed bugs droppings are digested blood, which you may be able to spot on or near your bed. Since it's dried, the feces is black and is not easy to remove; it tends to smear when wiped with a wet rag. Bed bugs must be transferred, and as such, are hitchhiking masters. If you've recently traveled to a place where you may have suspected bed bugs, look at your backpack, luggage or clothing zippers and seams for these small parasites. If you wake up one morning with a line of itchy red bites, do not start removing your furniture or clothing that you suspect to house the pests; this may only spread them. Tidy up your room, and do your laundry on a hot water setting, which should kill any bed bugs living in your clothes. Before returning your freshly laundered clothes to your room, call bed bug detection to confirm your suspicions.
Treatment should be done by professionals. The best thing to do with your bed is encase it in a bed bug protective seal bag. Usually mattress disposal is unnecessary. Often bed bugs infest the bed structure and so the common misconception that by throwing the mattress away the bed bugs is incorrect. A quality mattress encasement will limit bed bugs to the exterior of the mattress, where they are easy to locate and destroy. For certain detection and thorough elimination, talk to bed bug professionals. Follow all the company's recommendations and ask the pest controllers if there are any other steps you can take to eliminate bed bugs from your home. You should be bed bug free in no time.
