Facts about bed bugs
At night, when you’re asleep, that’s when bed bugs spring into action. These tiny nocturnal insects are reddish-brown in colour and they feed on your blood when you’re asleep. They are wingless and have flat bodies which make it easy for them to hide from plain sight during the day.
A female bedbug lays eggs on a daily basis and they are as tiny as a grain or two of salt. They hide the eggs in tiny cracks and they usually hatch within two weeks. The young nymphs require blood to reach maturity within about a month. Their overall lifespan of a bed bug is approximately six months.
Identifying a bed bug infestation
You may notice tiny bites on areas of your body that are exposed while you sleep. You may also notice little specks of blood on your sheets that are rust-colored.
If you suspect a bedbug infestation the best way to confirm it is by checking the corners of your mattress. Bed bugs hide in the folds, seams, and piping of your mattress, boxspring, and headboard.
The next steps to take
This is where the work begins. Start by stripping the bed and securing all linens in a garbage bag. Do the same with, draperies, clothing, and other fabrics in the room. Move lamps, books, and other items outside to a garage, porch, or balcony.
Thoroughly vacuum your mattress, box spring, carpet, and any upholstery in the room. Remove the contents, seal it, and take it and all the other bags out of the house. Anything washable should be washed and dried on the hottest settings possible. Purchase a bed bug proof encasement and put it on your mattress right away.
