Among the general public it is thought that the elusive bed bug was long ago completely eradicated in our country. However, over the last couple of years bed bugs have come back with a vengeance. A combination of increased overseas travel, growing resistance to pesticides, and a lack of public awareness has brought back this threat to our families’ health and comfort. Much is still unknown about this creature, and many methods of treatment used by pest control companies are outdated. For a permanent solution to the problem in your home, you need to call a company like BugMaster. Our technicians are knowledgeable and trained in the most up to date and effective bed bug treatments.

The adults are ¼ inch in length, about as wide as they are long and dark brown in color. The females will lay around 500 eggs over the course of their lifetime – approximately one year. Bed bugs can survive without food and need to only feed five times over the course of their development in order to breed. Bed bug bites are unique in their appearance and pattern. They almost always appear in multiples, and the bites are usually found in a very straight line across the skin. Another indication of their presence is dark blood spots on the sheets or mattresses. Sanitation and hygiene have nothing to do with the proliferation of this insect. Excessive clutter, however, will provide unlimited hiding areas for them.
