Bed Bug Control In Woodbine, Maryland

The incidence of bed bug infestation across the country has been on the rise over the past decade, with calls for bed bug services reaching their largest levels to date in recent months. This record comeback of the bed bug is attributed to many factors including increased global travel and the insect’s tolerance to the chemicals that were once used to control them. Fortunately, there are several exciting, new technologies that are effective in our fight against these pests and American Pest utilizes these to safely and completely eliminate bed bugs here in Woodbine. Our K-9 units can locate bed bugs in all stages of development allowing our treatments to be targeted to those specific areas of infestation. We can utilize heat treatments, Cryonite® freezing, conventional insecticide treatments with effective EPA approved products, and mattress and box spring encasements, all effective and safe ways to eliminate bed bugs.

Signs of Bed Bugs

It is important to understand a little about bed bugs and the signs that they leave behind to indicate their presence if you want to avoid contact with them every time you leave your home. It is equally important to recognize them if they do find their way into your home. The first thing to understand is that they are not limited to a mattress. These creatures can be found anywhere in a building, especially areas that people spend a lot of time. They can hide behind walls, inside electrical outlets, in furniture, under floorboards, and in any other tiny nook or cranny. They have been known to infest airplanes, taxi cabs, buses, hospitals, department stores, dorms, schools, as well as many other public and private places. No one is immune.

When you are in public, be sure to keep a lookout for these pests. Check seats for small rust colored spots, tiny brown droppings, and the bugs themselves. Pay particular attention to the seams. Make sure to inspect hotel rooms prior to carrying your luggage into them. You cannot be too cautious where bed bugs are concerned. They are very tricky little hitchhikers.

While their bite can certainly be an indication that bed bugs are present in your home, these bites are typically misidentified and can be confused with the bites of many other insects, most notably the bite of the mosquito. One major difference is that mosquito bites are usually singular while bed bug bites are usually grouped in clusters or in a linear pattern. Other signals that bed bugs are present include:

• Shed casings in piles in and around your bed, sofa, or other areas where they are hiding.

• Tiny brown spots on your sheets, pillowcases, and furniture.

• Small rust-colored dried blood spots on bedding or furniture.

• Finding live adult bed bugs, or the smaller nymphs, crawling on or near your bed or other areas in your home.

• Discovering the tiny white to opaque colored eggs or egg casings. (This is highly unlikely due to their almost microscopic size)

• Black streaking coming from wall electrical outlets.

• An unusual sickly-sweet aroma. (Only in extensive infestations)
