Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs are small, flat parasitic insects that feed on the blood of human hosts. They do not transmit disease, but their bites can result in red welts, rashes, and hives. Some signs that you might have bed bugs includes a rash, small eggs found on fabrics, stained fabrics, and strange odors. 

Females can lay 3-5 pinhead-size, pearl-white-colored eggs per day. These hatch with 6-10 days and the eggs typically do not die with any sort of spray. 

In addition to pale-yellow molted exoskeletons, bed bugs may also leave reddish or rust-looking spots in their hiding places. Bed bugs secrete an odor through their glands that is identified as both musty and sweet.

Once an infestation occurs, it can be extremely difficult to rid a home of bed bugs. They often require expert professional removal to prevent further problems.
