Bug Bites
Like bites from other insects, bug bites can look like red, welt-like bumps on the skin. They can cause a wide range of problems, such as allergic reactions, skin infections, mental distress, and even anaphylactic shock, which is a very rare problem. But one of the most interesting and scary things about bed bug bites is that the damage they cause is often not seen or felt for a long time after it has already happened. This is because bed bugs will first numb you with their saliva before sucking your blood out of your body in a hungry way.
Facts About Bed Bugs
Since bed bugs are notoriously difficult to spot, it may be vital to understand all you can about their habits and appearance in order to find them as soon as possible. Bed bugs may enter your house via nearly any entrance due to their flat bodies and size of an apple seed. Bed bugs like warm, dark spaces near where humans sleep.
They are most often found in mattresses, but they may also be found in other types of furniture, textiles, carpets, and a variety of other areas. If the temperature is maintained consistently and there is enough food, they can likewise live for almost a year inside a house. When you think that bed bugs may infiltrate a home in as little as three to four months, it’s easy to see how things might quickly get out of hand. Have a look at the following:
- Bed bugs can travel to new places on people, backpacks, and suitcases. They can also move from one place to another on old furniture.
- Dark stains and stains on sheets, mattresses, pillows, and clothes are signs of a bed. The bed can also cause bed symptoms. Bed bugs that were squashed left behind feces and blood when they were crushed.
- There is a strong link between having bed bugs and having a musty, sweet smell.
- Most bed bugs only eat blood, and they do this most of the time at night when they are active. People who get bitten by them may feel and look a lot like they were bitten by mosquitoes.
Defense & Treatment
Take the necessary precautions to keep bed bugs as far away from your house as you can since, as they say in sports, sometimes the greatest defense is a potent attack. Your chances of success will rise the highest as a result. First, check it often, especially when you get back from a trip or after people leave your house. The same goes for your furniture. Make it a habit to check it often, especially any used items you might bring into your home. Getting rid of clutter is still a good idea even if the sole advantage is that it provides the bugs fewer places to hide, despite the fact that a home’s cleanliness has nothing to do with how probable it is to have bed bugs.
To choose the best course of action for therapy, speak with a knowledgeable professional. Having said that, choose carefully because the effectiveness of different expert therapies varies a lot. Heat treatments, for example, are used by a lot of professionals in the field of pest control. However, they are usually only used as a method of contact killing, which means they only kill the bed bugs that can be seen and not the whole infestation.
