WHAT ARE BED BUGS?

A common bed bug – Cimex lectularius – is a reddish-brown, oval insect that is similar to an apple seed in shape. It may be flat, or balloon like, entirely depending on when it last received food. A bed bug feeds on blood, and once you have been bitten by one, you will feel some level of discomfort. Some major government bodies like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) have put bed bugs in the category of public health pests, even though they do not spread disease. As bed bug infestations become more and more common, there are some populations that have become resistant to the regular pesticides that are used in households to deal with them. As these bugs are tiny, they can find their way into small spaces and crevices, escaping the effect of regular pesticides and flourishing in your house. Then how are you supposed to get rid of the bed bugs nuisance that is affecting your quality of life? The easy – and most effective – way out in such situations is hiring professionals who have a lot of experience in the field and trusting them with the process.
