Bed Bug Breakthrough! Don’t Let These Nightmares Take Hold – Your Newark, DE Protection Plan!

Bed bugs are notorious for their ability to hide and reproduce quickly. They’re not a sign of uncleanliness; they’re simply excellent travelers, hitching rides on luggage, clothing, and even used furniture. Once they’re in your home, they are masters of concealment.

Steps to Stay Protected from Bed Bugs:

  1. Inspect When Traveling: Before you even unpack, inspect your hotel room. Pull back the sheets and check the mattress seams, headboard, and bedside furniture for reddish-brown spots (fecal matter), shed skins, or the bugs themselves. Keep your luggage off the floor and away from the bed.
  2. Be Wary of Used Furniture: While a great deal, thoroughly inspect any secondhand furniture, especially mattresses, box springs, and upholstered items, before bringing them into your home.
  3. Reduce Clutter: Less clutter means fewer hiding places for bed bugs. Keep your home tidy, especially around your bed and sleeping areas.
  4. Encase Mattresses and Box Springs: Use high-quality, zippered, bed bug-proof encasements on your mattresses and box springs. This traps any existing bugs inside and prevents new ones from entering.
  5. Vacuum Regularly: Vacuum your mattress, bed frame, carpet edges, and any cracks and crevices in your bedroom. Empty the vacuum contents into a sealed bag and dispose of it immediately outdoors.
  6. Hot Wash and Dry: If you suspect exposure, wash all suspect clothing and bedding in hot water and dry on the highest heat setting for at least 30 minutes.

    7. Expert Tip You Might Not Know:

    Here’s the often-missed fact about bed bugs: they can live in unexpected places far from your bed. While their name suggests otherwise, if an infestation is severe, bed bugs will spread to baseboards, electrical outlets, picture frames, behind loose wallpaper, and even in the seams of chairs and couches in other rooms. A tiny crack, about the width of a credit card, is all they need to hide. So, if you suspect bed bugs, don’t limit your inspection to just the bed!

    Bed bugs are not a DIY pest. They are incredibly resilient, and a professional, multi-pronged approach is almost always necessary for complete eradication. If you’re waking up with itchy bites or seeing signs of bed bugs, don’t delay. Contact Loyalty Termite and Pest Control for a discreet inspection and an effective treatment plan.
