Bed bugs are parasites that love to dine on the blood of human hosts. They leave behind red, pin-prick-sized bites. They do not spread diseases, and their bites are generally harmless to those who aren’t allergic. However, people who experience allergic reactions often have an extremely itchy and stressful experience that involves irritation, swelling, and even pimple-like blisters.

Bed bugs are the epitome of a stressful pest no one wants to handle. While they don’t cause significant health problems, their presence is often unsightly, annoying, and embarrassing.

Bed bugs love warm, dry, dark hiding spots. They hang out in these areas when they sense the presence of humans on which they can feed. The bugs can sense the carbon dioxide and other chemicals emitted by the human body and feel drawn to these scents, warmth, and moisture when searching for food sources.

It’s easy to assume that bed bugs only live in beds. But in reality, bed bugs are just as happy in carpeting, sofas, and areas of clutter around the home. They will also take up residence in stored furniture and clothing. 

Once bed bugs have started living in any part of a home, they will typically travel to additional areas, such as attics and garages. They are expert travelers who love thrift shop bargains and luggage. So, be careful of second-hand furniture purchases and pay a little extra for a better-quality hotel where it’s likely that rooms are undergoing treatment for bugs of all kinds.

These sneaky and invasive behaviors can make it extremely hard to combat bed bugs alone. DIY remedies often do little to impact the infestation. It’s best to seek professional bed bug pest control services from American Pest Control to solve the problem.

Because of their tiny size and ninja-like abilities at hiding in dark, unnoticed places, it’s hard to know you have an infestation until it becomes a serious problem. By the time you actually spot and identify a bed bug, their population is already so large that they are running out of places to hide from you.

The earliest signs might appear on mattresses, bed frames, couches, recliners, baseboards, chairs, and other indoor surfaces. These indicators might include musty, foul odors, and small dark spots caused by bug exoskeletons, fecal matter, or dried blood.

Our process for eliminating bed bugs from Illinois homes starts with a comprehensive inspection. From there, we can recommend a personalized course of treatment that may include any combination of the following actions:

• Steam cleaning
• Vacuuming
• Encasing your box spring and mattress
• Setting up traps and lures
• Applying power or liquid insecticide

Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to get rid of. Not only do they reproduce and spread quickly, but they’re remarkably resilient—they can go for months without eating, and they hide in the tiniest crevices.

However, these pests do not have to be a life sentence. You can get rid of bed bugs with help from our bed bug exterminators in Central Illinois. We’ll come to your home or business for a thorough, detailed inspection. Once we’ve assessed the extent of the problem, we can recommend a course of bed bug treatment. Usually, we use a combination of multiple treatments at once, such as:

• Vacuuming
• Steam cleaning
• Encasing your mattress and box spring
• Applying liquid and powder pesticides
