My House Has Bed Bugs

It can be scary if you own your home and you find out you have bed bugs. Bed bugs feed on blood, so you know that they are feeding on you and your family when you’re asleep. You may notice a bite that occurs once a week at first and shrug it off as mosquitos or acne. You will probably not notice any bugs until weeks or months after they were first introduced.

The first step to solving the problem is to verify that it is bed bugs. Bites are not conclusive evidence that there are bed bugs in your home. There are lots of bugs that could bite you such as ants, fleas, mosquitos, spiders, and more depending on your locale. There are also bugs that do not bite but can cause skin irritation such as carpet beetles. Also, maybe it is not biting at all. It could be a skin irritation caused by detergents, dry skin, a medical condition, or side effects of medication.

Do not go any further until you are sure its bed bugs. The only way to verify that bed bugs are causing the bites is to find the actual bugs. Most people think that you cannot see bed bugs. That is not the case. Bed bugs are as large as ladybugs as adults, except their bodies are very flat rather than rounded like a beetle.

We have created a guide to help you inspect for bed bugs. This is the same bed bug inspection instruction provided to pest control professionals.
