What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?

You can see bed bugs with your naked eye but spotting them can be difficult, depending on the state of the life cycle they are in. Adult bed bugs are easier to spot. They have a rusty red or reddish brown color and are oval in shape. They have six legs and are roughly the size of an apple seed. Bed bugs are usually flat but are bigger after having a blood meal.

The eggs are most difficult to see because they are very small, about 1 mm, and have clear or white color. The egg of a bed bug develops to the adult stage following five stages. The first stage is the nymph, also referred to as larvae. At this stage, bed bugs are translucent or white-yellow and small making them difficult to spot. As they go through the five stages, they shed their exoskeleton and grow in size from about 1.5 mm to about 4.5 mm.

Bed bugs do not have functional wings that can make them fly. As such, they simply crawl or catch a ride with us humans and our belongings.

Signs Of Bed Bug Infestation

There are some telltale signs to look out for to know if you have a bed bug problem in your home. Look out for:

Bed Bug Bites

While you can see bed bugs in your home, you will most likely know you have an infestation case when you notice their bite marks on you.

Bed Bug Droppings

Fecal droppings from bed bugs will leave rusty-colored spots on your bedsheets and mattresses. You can also notice their droppings on your furniture, walls, book, and other things.

Exoskeletons

If you see the exoskeletons from bed bugs shed around, you know you have an infestation case.

Musty Smell

If your home has a musty smell, it may be because there are bed bugs around.

How Much Does It Cost To Kill Bed Bugs?

The cost of exterminating bed bugs from your home depends on some factors, including how widespread the infestation is. If you are dealing with a light bed bug infestation case, the cost of extermination will be lesser than if you have a widespread infestation case. The number of rooms needed to be treated will also determine the cost of the treatment.

The number of items in the room can also determine the treatment cost. If you have a lot of furniture to be treated, the cost will be higher than if you have just a few. The construction of the home will also impact the cost of bed bugs’ extermination there. Pest management professionals usually consider these factors when rating rooms. However, our charges are fair.

The Insecticides They Used Were Not Effective

When people treat bed bugs with ineffective insecticides, they do not kill all the bedbugs. It is only a matter of time before the problem resurfaces. If they use heat treatment, it is possible they did not invest sufficient contact time into the treatment.

All The Infested Items Were Not Treated

When infested items like bedding, clothes, mattress, books, suitcases, furniture, and other materials are not properly treated or some were not treated at all, the bed bug problem will not go away.
