Bed Bug Pest Control

Bed bugs have become a serious problem throughout North America. Many people report difficulties with stress, anxiety, and insomnia when dealing with presence of bed bugs. While they can be tough to get rid of and control because of their ability to survive long periods of time without feeding, Arizona Organic Pest & Termite Control has devised effective bed bug protocols that successfully eliminate bed bug infestations from your home or commercial property.

Bed Bug Hiding Places

A thorough inspection by a pest control expert for evidence of bed bugs is a must for effective pest control management. Likely bed bug habitats include mattress seams, bed frames, headboards, baseboards and carpet edges. Cracks and crevices, upholstered furniture, and any area used for sleeping are also potential hiding places for bed bugs.

What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?

Bed bugs are oval shaped and cannot fly. With blood as their sole food source, bites may be painless but often cause uncomfortable skin irritations, excessive itching, and complications with allergies. You’re more likely to see signs of bed bugs than the insects themselves.

How Do Bed Bugs Enter a Location?

Usually, bed bugs hitch a ride into the home or workplace through luggage and other items that have become infested at hotels, summer camps, and other hospitality locations during travel. Bed bugs can also be brought into your property via used bedding, furniture and clothing.

Common Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation Include:

Blood or rust colored stains on bed sheets and pillow cases
Powdery fecal matter found in crevices throughout your home or commercial property
Persistent musty odor

How to Avoid Bed Bugs While Travelling

Do not put your clothing or suitcase directly on the hotel bed
Keep luggage off the ground
Use metal luggage racks
Look for bed bugs all the way around and under the mattress
Check bed linens and headboards for bloodstains or fecal matter
