Bedbug FAQ's

  • Do bed bugs pose health risks?

    While not known to transmit disease, bed bugs cause bites, skin irritation, allergic reactions, and sleep disruption.

  • Can bed bugs be eliminated in one visit?

    Severe infestations often require multiple treatments to fully eliminate eggs, nymphs, and adults.

  • Do bed bugs only live in beds?

    No. Bed bugs hide in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, outlets, and wall voids near sleeping areas.

  • How do bed bugs get into a home?

    Bed bugs are commonly brought in through luggage, furniture, clothing, or guests. They do not indicate poor cleanliness.

  • Can bed bugs live outside?

    Bed bugs are adapted to indoor environments and do not survive well outdoors for long. They may be carried outside on items or clothing, but they typically die off without a human host and sheltered conditions.

  • Can bed bugs transmit blood‚ airborne illnesses?

    Bed bugs are not currently considered major disease vectors like mosquitoes or ticks. There is limited research suggesting they could potentially carry some pathogens, but they are not known to commonly transmit blood‚ airborne diseases to people.

  • How long can bed bugs go without food?

    Adult bed bugs can survive for several months without feeding, and under ideal conditions they may last close to a year. Younger stages survive for shorter periods but can still go weeks or months without a blood meal, which is why thorough, professional treatment is so important.

  • What do bed bug bites look like?

    Bed bug bites usually show up as small, red, itchy welts, often in clusters or lines on exposed skin. Reactions vary from person to person and may range from mild redness to more pronounced swelling or irritation.

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood. They’re about the size of an apple seed and they are experts at hiding in hard-to-reach places. Bed bugs prefer to dwell in close proximity to humans, which is why they’re often found in mattresses, bedding, headboards, and especially around linens.

An infestation can start in various ways, but it typically involves bed bugs hitchhiking their way into your home.

Here are the most common entry points:‍

Travel:

Bed bugs are notorious travelers, often hitching rides on luggage, clothing, or personal items during trips. Staying in infested hotels or hostels can also increase the risk of bringing bed bugs home.

Second-hand furniture:

Purchasing used furniture or accepting hand-me-downs can introduce bed bugs into your living space. Inspect items like pillows or throws carefully before purchasing and bringing them inside.

Neighbors:

Bed bugs can move from one unit to another in multi-family dwellings, such as apartments or condos. If your neighbor has an infestation, it’s possible for bed bugs to find their way into your home.

Public transportation:

Bed bugs can be found on buses, trains, or other forms of public transportation. Be cautious with your belongings when commuting.
