Protect your home or business from bed bugs by learning techniques for identification and control.
BED BUG FACTS & INFORMATION
Bed bugs have small, flat, oval-shaped bodies. They are wingless. Adults do have the vestiges of wings called wing pads, but they do not fully develop into functional wings.
Adults are brown in color, although their bodies redden after feeding. Full-grown bed bugs move relatively slowly and measure between 4 to 5 mm. Homeowners sometimes have the misconception that bed bugs are too small to see with the naked eye.
- Bed bugs are small, about the size of an apple seed. They are flat, oval-shaped, and reddish-brown in color.
- They can live for several months without feeding and can survive in a variety of environments.
- The most common sign of a bed bug infestation is the presence of bites on the skin.
- Bed bug infestations can be difficult to treat and often require professional pest control services.
- To prevent bed bug infestations, it is important to inspect second-hand furniture and bedding before bringing it into your home, keep your living areas clean and clutter-free, and seal any cracks or gaps in walls, floors, or furniture.
- Bed bug infestations can also cause emotional distress and social isolation.

Neighbors Pest Solutions is a notably professional pest control company that provided me with cost-effective services for my residence. They specialize in eradicating a variety of pests. Following weeks of dealing with ant and spider infestations at the onset of these warm summer months, my property is now on track to be free from the issue.
Unlike many companies that tend to oversell and suggest unnecessary additions, I was pleasantly surprised by Josh Davis, who presented a personalized solution tailored to my home's needs. Will update soon on the progress.

Derek knocked on our door the same day we had happened to find a massive spider in our daughter's toy box. Perfect timing! He was very patient with us and answered all of my questions about toxicity of the pesticide products (we have a 16 month old daughter and a cat). Albert showed up to perform the service a few days later. He was very professional and notified me a few minutes prior to arriving to my home. He made sure to close the gates after he was finished as I'd mentioned that was a concern since my daughter is a little runaway and he again assured me that once everything dried, it would be safe for my daughter to play outside. Albert explained everything he did and what we may expect over the next few days/weeks. Hoping this makes a difference in the webs all over our backyard and the earwigs in our rose beds!

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The more you know about bed bugs, the better you can predict and control their behavior. Here are some quick facts to help you on your way.
Bed bugs can spread through travel, infested furniture or clothing, and by hitchhiking on people. They can also move from room to room within a building, and can spread quickly if left untreated.
Signs of a bed bug infestation may include bites on the skin, blood stains on sheets or mattresses, dark spots on walls or furniture (which are bed bug excrement), and the presence of live bed bugs or shed skins.
While bed bugs are not known to transmit disease, their bites can cause itching, swelling, and discomfort. In severe cases, repeated bites can lead to anemia or other health complications. Bed bug infestations can also cause emotional distress and social isolation.
To prevent bed bugs, inspect second-hand furniture and bedding before bringing it into your home, keep your living areas clean and clutter-free, and seal any cracks or gaps in walls, floors, or furniture. When traveling, inspect your luggage and clothing carefully, and wash all clothes in hot water and dry them on high heat before returning home.
The length of time it takes to get rid of bed bugs will depend on the severity of the infestation and the treatment method used. In some cases, it may take several weeks or months to completely eliminate the infestation.
