Bed bug removal in Ohio.

Finding bed bugs can be distressing, but don’t freak out. Here’s what you can do to confirm their presence, choose the right treatment, and effectively address the problem.

First, should you worry if bed bugs are biting you? Yes and no.

You should be concerned because being bitten by anything is not nice. Thankfully, bed bugs do not carry anything like diseases or illnesses. However, if a bed bug bites you, it could easily lead to the bite becoming infected or irritated if you continue scratching at it. Bed bugs, though, are not life-threatening.

These tiny little predators produce painful bites that will be noticeably felt if you are awake. You might even wake up in the middle of the night wondering why – it could be a natural reaction to the pain from the bed bug biting you. Since bed bugs are here to only drink our blood instead of eating our furniture or foundations, they can feel more prominent than pests like termites.

Bed bugs are not primarily a danger to your health, but they can impact your quality of life and your quality of sleep. And, if the bites get infected or spread, the problem could get worse quickly. As such, you should look to get rid of your bed bugs ASAP.

Bed bugs will not make you ill, but they will make you feel uncomfortable. If you run a business in Clearwater that has a problem with bed bugs, too, they could harm your reputation.

If only! Bed bugs can survive for as long as three months without eating. Therefore, they can easily wait out your starvation techniques.

No, they do not care about the conditions that you live within. Bed bugs are happy to attack any property regardless of the condition that they find; if there is blood to drink, they will arrive with glee!

No, that does not work. Bed bugs can resist all but the most invasive and difficult-to-handle temperatures. Turning your heating up to kill off bed bugs or using rented heating systems rarely, if ever, works. They do not reach the temperatures needed; however, our heat treatments for bed bugs manage that with ease.

Bed bugs can handle a high heat level but not the level of heat that a professional heat treatment offers. By exceeding their bearable body temperature, heat treatments are proven and effective.

Bed bugs have small, flat, oval-shaped bodies and are roughly the size of an apple seed. They are reddish-brown and can be squished fairly easily. Bed Bug Nymphs (babies that have not fed yet) are a lighter, more translucent yellow in color and are slightly smaller. If you find a bug, compare it to our pictures and when in doubt, find a pest control company using our postal/zip code lookup tool and they should be able to help you identify it.

Short answer: it varies a lot by person and some people have a very minimal visible reaction. Your body might take 2-3 days to react fully to a bed bug bite. Some things to look for: 1. Usually groups of small red bite marks 2. Itchiness/irritation on exposed areas of skin (e.g. hands, neck, legs, arms) 3. Zig-zag patterns

There are a number of different treatment options available, however the only sure-fire way is to find a pest control company that uses the Heat Assault system.

While there are a lot of websites out there saying you can take care of a bed bug infestation on your own, it is very unlikely that you will succeed. Even many pest control companies have difficulty eliminating bed bugs after several visits to your home. The most effective proven way to kill bed bugs is with heat. There are three main options for bed bug treatment: electric or propane powered heating units, chemicals and Heat Assault.
