Bed bugs are a source of vexation that most households would wish to get rid of. These bugs are notorious bloodsuckers and have a liking for warm blooded animals like cats, dogs and humans, with humans being their first preference. Pest control efforts should be carried out earnestly if this issue is to be eliminated.

Bed bugs infestation is mainly spread through travellers, but once these nasty bugs reach a new place they make it their own quickly. They infest beds, furniture, carpets and all such articles where they can find holes and gaps.

At daytime, bed bugs remain in dark places. They prefer fabric, wood, and paper surfaces. They ordinarily reside near the host. Bed bugs initially can be seen about tufts, seams, and creases of mattresses, later scattering to cracks in the bedstead.

A common misconception about bed bugs is that they multiply because of lack of hygiene, but that’s quite incorrect. Since these pests survive on blood and not trash, hygiene doesn’t help in eradicating them. However, keeping the surroundings sanitized and dirt free can facilitate easy spotting of these pests.

Another misconception about bed bugs is that they are too tiny to be seen without external visual aid. In fact, these creatures can be seen without any difficulty, yet we rarely see them because they have flat bodies that help them hide easily in narrow nooks of furniture or folds of fabric.

They will usually bite once a week or so, and they can really survive for a long time without feeding – commonly six months, but sometimes over a year.

When it comes to cleansing a house of bed bugs, no one can do the job better than an expert pest controller, so it is better to call in such a person instead of trying to rid these pests all by yourself. However, if you want to fight bed bugs on your own, the next best thing to do is to properly wash carpets, bed linen etc. in hot water and then allow them to dry in the sun. Crevices in the walls must also be sealed, and furniture having too many holes and other potential breeding grounds for bed bugs should ideally be disposed off.
