While there are plenty of pests that Roosevelt homeowners deal with every year, few are as difficult to detect and get rid of as bed bugs. Many people are under the impression that the human eye can’t even see bed bugs without help, but this is a misconception that we’ll discuss in a moment.
While bed bugs are visible, they are still tiny, and they reproduce quickly. That’s why it’s important to recognize the signs of these pests in your home and act decisively to stop them. When you need professional pest control in Roosevelt, Pickett Pest Control is your best friend. Let’s start by talking about how to identify bed bugs in your home.
Though bed bugs are extremely small, even when fully grown, they can still be seen with the naked human eye. They are still challenging to spot, but you shouldn’t give up before you’ve even started and write off finding these pests as impossible. Let’s discuss what bed bugs look like, as well as some common bed bug signs. Bed bugs are six-legged insects with two antennae and flat, oval-shaped bodies. They are usually less than a quarter of an inch long, though they grow slightly after feeding. Fully mature bed bugs in Roosevelt are reddish-brown, while bed bug nymphs are lighter in color.
To help you locate bed bugs more easily, use a small flashlight to examine high-risk areas. One of the most common signs of bed bugs is finding reddish-brown spots or smears on walls, mattresses, and bed frames. Bed bug bites on the arms and legs are another common sign, though bites alone usually aren’t proof of bed bugs.
If you leave a bed bug infestation alone, you’re only making the problem worse. Female bed bugs can lay up to five eggs a day, and these eggs only take a few weeks to hatch and grow to full maturity. Coupled with their resilience and ability to stay hidden, their reproductive speed makes them a menace to any home they invade. You’ll want to take action as soon as you discover an infestation. Next, we’ll answer a common question: how do bed bugs get in your home in the first place?
Bed bugs are excellent travelers. They are often found in public spaces where humans spend a lot of time. From there, they can easily hitch a ride in clothes, shoes, suitcases, boxes, and secondhand furniture. This lets them get into your home without your knowledge. So what can you do to keep them out? Here are a few tips:
