Effective Strategies for Managing Bed Bug Infestations

Why are Bed Bugs a Problem?

Bed bugs are a significant nuisance due to their rapid and unpredictable spread, leading to various issues. They can inflict itchy and uncomfortable bites on human skin, often resulting in red welts. Although they are not capable of spreading any diseases, these unwelcome pests disrupt people’s peace of mind, causing stress and anxiety. Addressing bed bug infestations is a lengthy and challenging endeavor, often accompanied by substantial financial costs.

Bed Bug Facts

  • Bed bugs can survive without any food and nutrition for up to four months. 
  • Their saliva also consists of an anesthetic agent, which is why they can feed on the blood of humans without them being aware of it. 
  • Even though bed bugs are more active at night, they can also bite during the day. 
  • Some individuals do not show any reaction to bed bug bites.
