Bed Bugs

Are bed bugs dangerous?

While bed bugs do not pose significant physical harm, they can cause skin irritation and discomfort through their itchy bites. Scratching the bites excessively can lead to irritation and potential infections. Bed bugs reproduce rapidly, with each female capable of laying hundreds of eggs. This rapid multiplication makes it challenging to eradicate a bed bug infestation without professional help.

Why do I have a bed bug problem?

Bed bugs are skilled at hiding and can be found in various areas of your home. Common hiding spots include bedsheets, couch cushions, piles of clothing, and blankets. However, they can hide behind wallpaper, under flooring, carpets, and inside electrical outlets.

Where will I find bed bugs?

Ants thrive in large colonies, so spotting one ant likely means more are nearby. Carpenter ants nest in wooden structures like beams, stumps, logs, and trees. Ground nesting is common for some ant species, while others prefer hiding beneath soil piles. You might also find ant colonies beneath sheds, porches, floorboards, or warm, damp environments. Unveil their secret hideouts and tackle ant issues effectively.
