Hopkinton MA Pest Control Advice On How To Get Rid Of Bedbugs

By Allan Iacovelli


Bedbugs became a menace after WW2. In most cases, you will not know that you have an infestation until the problem has gone out of control. You may notice red bite marks on your skin without realizing what is causing them. This is because once the bugs bite you at night, they go back into hiding in cracks during the day. Hopkinton MA Pest Control can help you manage these bugs.

Warning signs of bedbugs

The first sign you may have bedbugs is the red, itchy bite marks on places such as arms and face that seem to appear overnight. While the bedbug is feeding, it injects a deadening chemical so his bite is not felt. It is only when this wears off that you find yourself itching. By then, the bed bug is back in hiding. Other signs that you may have an infestation is random blood spots on your bedding and possibly the discarded skins of bugs that have grown.

Bedbugs need to feed and then shed their skin whenever they are growing. An average bug grows up to five times its size throughout its lifetime. It might be hard for you to notice the skin of small bugs, since their skin is light in color but you will see the brown skin of big bugs. Look carefully under your mattress and bed and you will notice dark areas in corners. This is where the bugs live.

Steps to take

Having the bugs does not mean that you are a dirty person, it just means that you need to hire a professional to get rid of them. This is because most over the counter solutions do not work. Hire a professional exterminator to do the job for you.

When getting rid of the bugs, you have to eliminate the adult bugs, as well as all the eggs they have laid. A big bug can survive for one year without eating anything. They also lay thousands of eggs over their lifetime. The best way to kill them is by using high heat.
