Bed bugs have always been a huge problem for many homes in Central Florida. Bed bugs are one of the tiniest pests that can infest our homes and businesses. Common bed bug adults can grow only about ¼ of an inch long and eggs are about the size of a pin head making them very hard to see. What is worse, females can lay 1-5 eggs per day, meaning you can have 7,848 adult bed bugs within 180 days. Bed bug populations grow exponentially so it is important to get remove bed bug infestations quickly and efficiently.
Bingham’s Professional Pest management can eliminate bed bugs quickly and efficiently before the infestation gets too out of control. We also monitor your home after the work is done to make sure that we got all of the problem cleared out. We use several methods to rid your home of bed bugs including heat treatment, steam treatment, cold treatment, and if your infestation is already severe, whole structure fumigation.
As in sports, the best defense against bed bugs is a good offense. Reduce the risk of getting bed bugs and you will be less likely to suffer through a severe infestation. Know the signs of an infestation. The first sign is often itchy red marks which are bites on the skin. Bed bugs are reddish, brown and leave rust like spots on bedding and mattresses as well as brown skin sheddings on furniture, walls and floors.
Give your home a thorough inspection and cleaning to keep an eye out for early signs of infestation. You do not want to wait for bites to start.
While you travel you are at the most risk for bed bugs because others may not be as careful as you. Bugs from infested areas can move into non-infested areas by getting into luggage and clothes. Use luggage racks in hotel rooms to keep luggage and other belongings off the floor and furniture. Keep clean and dirty clothes in sealable bags. Ask for freshly cleaned blankets for the beds and inspect your luggage and clothes thoroughly when you get home and wash and dry all your clothes on the highest heat setting allowed.
Follow these directions to prevent severe bed bug infestation and call Bingham’s Professional Pest Management if you notice that bed bugs have managed to infiltrate your home anyway.
