“These folks are thorough; that is they definitely go the extra mile to complete the task at hand.
My wife and I run a house of hospitality for the homeless and just like anyone who hosts
travelers is subject to bedbugs so was our house. We have hired Wolverine Pest Services twice
over the last couple of years (it was over a year apart so not the same bedbug episode) and
both times they have been exceedingly complete when applying the liquid and aerosol. They
were also easy to reach on the phone and very friendly to interact with.”
HOW TO GET RID OF BED BUGS
Helping rid homes & businesses of bed bug infestations
Wolverine Pest Control can help you get rid of bed bugs. Bed bugs are tiny, but they can still cause big trouble. If you see any of these bugs, you should get help right away. The longer you wait, the more bed bugs there will be. Wolverine Pest Control can help you get rid of them.
What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are bugs that eat people. They look like little apple seeds, but when they are consumed, they turn a red color. Newer bed bugs are smaller and clearer, and they also turn red after they eat. The eggs of these bugs are so small they can hardly be seen. They are like a pinhead. Bed bugs can cause a lot of problems. They bite and leave itchy welts. They might even make you sick. They leave behind blood and poop that can make your home stink. If there are a lot of them, you will notice the smell. So it’s best to get rid of them as soon as you can.
What do bed bugs look like?
Bed bugs are brown or red and are shaped like little ovals. They have two antennas and six legs, and when they are fully grown, they look kind of like a seed from an apple. They are about 1/4 of an inch long. Once they have eaten, adult bed bugs get bigger and turn a reddish-purple.
Nymphs are nearly impossible to spot since they are very small and their bodies are colorless. The eggs are even tinier than the nymphs, about the size of a speck of salt, and usually white.
How long do bed bugs live?
Adult bed bugs usually live for two to four months, but if they are in a place that is nice for them, they can live as long as a year. A female bedbug lays eggs every day, sometimes up to five at a time. In its life, it can lay around 200 to 250 eggs. It takes between 6 to 10 days for the eggs to hatch. The baby bugs, called nymphs, need to eat and shed their skin to grow into adults. It can take five weeks or up to four to six months for them to become fully grown. Bed bugs usually eat every 10 days. This continues until they are grown up.
Where do bed bugs come from?
You might accidentally bring bed bugs into your house if you go out and about a lot. Places like hotels, airports, taxis, movie theaters, hospitals, shopping centers, and libraries are all places where bed bugs can be found. They can also come in with used mattresses and furniture, or
even used clothes. If you live in an apartment, bed bugs may come from a neighbor’s place. Be careful and watch out for these bugs!
How to check for bed bugs
Bed bugs are called bed bugs because they go to the places where people sleep. They like to hide in headboards, mattresses, and box springs. If they are not removed quickly, they can spread to other places in the house, like couches, floors, behind walls, outlets, and in computers and other electronic devices. At night, bed bugs like to hide. It is almost impossible to catch them if you see them out and about. If you spot one on your bedding, it probably means there are a lot of them and it might take a lot of work, and maybe even help from a specialist, to get rid of them. Look around your house carefully for possible bed bug hideouts. Watch for any marks or bites on yourself, your family, or your pets. Check the places they like to hide for signs of bed bugs.
Where do bed bugs hide?
Bed bugs like to stay in places where people stay for a while. They need 3 to 10 minutes to eat without getting disturbed. Bed bugs like to eat, and after they are done, they try to hide. To find them, think about places they may hide. If you look in places like cracks and corners, you might
find signs of a bed bug infestation.
Beds
Beds can be a great home for bed bugs. They can get food nearby and have lots of places to hide until they need to eat or lay eggs. Look carefully at your bed and its surroundings to see if there are any strange spots. See if you notice anything on the sheets, pillow, mattress pad, and mattress. Also, check the seams and crevices. Don’t forget the headboard, bed frame, and the floor. If you have a carpet, look there
too. Keep an eye out for anything unusual in the area around your bed.
Couches
The average show on TV goes for 25 minutes, which is enough time for bed bugs to eat and feel full until their next meal. Bed bugs often hang out on furniture that people sit on often, like chairs, ottomans, or wheelchairs. Look on each side and under the cushions for dark spots to make sure no bed bugs are around.
Baseboards and door hinges
Bed bugs like to stay close to their food source, which is usually human blood. That’s why baseboards, especially in the bedrooms and living areas where people like to relax, make good homes for them. They can easily hide there, and they can also quickly travel to different rooms. Bed bugs like to hide in places that have small cracks and are close to where people are. They might hide in door hinges or other unusual spots. They need to be close to people so they can feed.
Electrical fixtures
Bed bugs can spread easily between rooms. Places like wall sockets, switches, and outlets can be hiding spots for the bugs. When you are sitting close to outlets, in your favorite chair, or sleeping in bed, they may come out to feed.
Electronics
Your laptop can easily be a home for bed bugs in all the small spaces of your keyboard. TVs, computers, fans, and air purifiers can also have tiny places where bed bugs can hide. If any of these devices were in an area with bed bugs, they may be living inside.
Signs of a bed bug infestation in your home
Here are some other signs to watch out for so you can stop a bed bug infestation in its tracks.
Blood stains
When you go to bed, bed bugs can feed off of you. This can leave some wet blood on your skin. If you move while you are sleeping, you can squash a bed bug and its insides can get on your bedding, pillow, or furniture.
Dark spots
Look for dark spots that look like a pen or marker on fabric and furniture. Also, search for tiny, dry spots on hard surfaces. These splotches might be from bed bugs. If you find a lot of them in the same spot, it means there’s an infestation starting. But if you don’t do something about it, the bugs will spread out.
Musty smells
If you get a whiff of something sweet and musty in your room, it could mean bed bugs have moved in! This smell can also be rusty, which is because of the iron from the blood they have eaten and left behind. Bed bugs use certain chemicals to talk to each other. This smell is stronger when there are more of them living together.
Shells or casings
Bed bugs grow by shedding their skin. They leave behind five different casings or shells. These shells look yellowish or light brown and can be found near where the bed bugs live. Check under your bed, the bed frame, and the couch cushions for these empty shells.
