Today, bed bugs are uncommon pests. Many infestations identified as bed bugs are actually closely related species such as bat bugs or swallow bugs. Knowing what species has infested a house is an important distinction when planning a control strategy. While all of these bugs are external, bloodsucking parasites of warm-blooded animals, each type has a preferred host. Knowing the preferred host is essential to locating and eliminating the source of the bugs.

Bed bugs, like ants, come in a variety of species, but generally they are about 3/16″ long, broadly oval and flat. Most are mahogany or red-brown in color. If you discover a bug, you need the help of a professional trained technician to identify your pest. That's where we come in! Our experts will help you identify your pest and provide you with tried and proven solutions!

Signs of infestation

It's possible to have a bed bug infestation without knowing it. That's because bugs hide. If you think you may have bed bugs, check for small spots of blood on walls or bedding.

You can also look for black or brown spots left behind around well-used hiding or resting places. These spots are dried-excrement.

Bed bug habits

Bedbugs get their name because they like to live and feed in beds. Bedbugs like to travel and will hide in suitcases, boxes and shoes to be near a food supply. They are elusive, nocturnal creatures.

They can hide behind baseboards, electrical switch plates, picture frames, even wall paper. They come out at night for a blood meal.

Habitat of bed bugs

Bedbugs like to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment. They can be found behind baseboards, wallpaper, upholstery, and in furniture crevices.

Threat of bed bugs

Although bed bugs can dine on any warm-blooded animal, they primarily dine on humans. Bedbugs do not transmit diseases, but their bites can become red, itchy welts.

Bedbugs can be found in all 50 states.
