What are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are about the size of an apple seed and are reddish-brown in color. Bed bugs are nocturnal, so they are most active at night when they come out to feed. They are most commonly found in beds, but they can also hide in other furniture, behind wallpaper, and in other crevices around your home.
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of, and they can spread quickly if not dealt with promptly. They are excellent at hiding and can go for long periods of time without feeding, making them difficult to detect. In addition to being a nuisance, bed bugs can also cause allergic reactions in some people, leading to itchy bites and other symptoms.
Preparing for Bed Bug Treatment
Our Method of Bed Bug Control
BUGCO® Pest Control has years of experience providing bed bug treatments in Houston, and we conduct many treatments throughout the year for personal residences, apartment complexes, hotels/motels, hospitals, and anyplace else where bed bugs may show up. After an initial inspection, we develop an individualized treatment plan for your property.
If you decide to go ahead with the treatment, your inspection fee will be applied to the bed bug treatment price. Proper treatment usually requires several hours’ lead time; so, so we will typically schedule an appointment for treatment that is separate from the initial inspection. And don’t worry – we’ll give you a bed bug treatment preparation sheet, so you’ll know exactly what you need to do.
TIME WELL SPENT
Because bed bugs are so small and numerous, proper treatment can take a while to complete, and we appreciate customers’ patience. A home will need to be vacant for three to four hours. We’ll work with owners and managers for commercial properties to ensure we minimize business disruption while still providing effective treatment.
BED BUG FACTS AND MYTHS
Like many troublesome pests, bed bugs feed on human blood, leaving behind itchy bites and potentially spreading disease. They are a reddish-brown color, flat and oval in shape, and very small – about the size of a sesame seed. Because they reproduce quickly and are difficult to see, a bed bug infestation can come seemingly out of nowhere.
Contrary to popular belief, having bed bugs is not necessarily a reflection of poor sanitation. These insects are notorious hitchhikers, catching a ride on anything from clothing to luggage and furniture. Infestations can often be due to plain bad luck. Although sanitary conditions come into play with any pest infestation, even five-star hotels can get bed bugs.
