What do Bed Bugs Look Like?

Bed bugs are among the smallest creatures that you can see with the naked eye. Their bodies are oval in shape and are usually flat. They do not have full wings. Instead, bed bugs have what are usually called vestigial wings or wing pads. The bugs are dark brown in appearance, although that will change after they feed. Any bed bugs that have fed recently will have a red to reddish-brown appearance.

Understanding what the bugs look like is the first step toward knowing if bed bugs removal is in order. It’s not unusual for pest control experts to ask clients to take images of the bugs and forward them by email or text. This helps to speed up the process of confirmation and helps the exterminator prepare for dealing with the infestation.

Strictly speaking, you may not be able to avoid bed bugs from getting into the home. There are certainly ways you can minimize the potential for an infestation. Those efforts begin with you and your family.

Remember to disinfect your suitcases, as well as have your clothes cleaned. Promptly changing the bed linens after having overnight guests is another way to protect the home. Just as you could bring the bugs inside without knowing it, guests could also inadvertently introduce them to your space.

What To Expect After Bed Bugs Treatment

As Winnipeg’s best exterminators we make sure to get every last bed bug, it’s part of our guarantee. So, you can be sure that after treatment, your home is bed bug free and ready to live in. By using heat instead of chemicals, your house won’t have that harsh chemical smell. In fact, heat will make your house smell fresher by dislodging dirt from carpet and curtain panels. On top of that, because you won’t have a chemical film on every surface, you’ll be able to touch, use or clean your surfaces right away. You also won’t have to sleep on an awkward plastic mattress cover that’s supposed to prevent bed bug eggs from hatching. The heat can penetrate into the middle of the mattress, so after treatment, your bed is good to go!

Best Way to Get Rid of Bed Bugs

The most practical way to go about bed bugs removal is to call a professional. It’s true there are over the counter remedies you can try, and they will help to some extent. The thing to remember is that those products may help clean surfaces, but the bed bugs are likely already deep in the mattresses and possibly some of your upholstered furnishings. That’s why you need help from a professional.

Keep in mind that Winnipeg bed bugs can also settle in places you may not think to look. That includes your linen closets, the clothes closet, and even the window treatments. An expert with a bed bugs removal service will check all of these spots and a few more. For example, checking along baseboards for signs of activity is a must.

When it comes to ways to get rid of bed bugs, your local exterminator will have more than one option. Heat is one of the most popular ways to remove bugs from the home. That’s because heat can get into areas where other treatment methods cannot.

For example, assume there are already adults and eggs deep in the mattress. Older treatment methods will not reach them. All that could be done is to treat the outer layers and then encase the mattress in some sort of sealed sleeve. That had to be left in place for a year to ensure the adults and the hatched eggs died. Unless you opted for the sealed enclosure, the only alternative was to replace the mattress.

By using heat, it is possible to get deep into mattresses or upholstered furniture, kill the eggs as well as the adults, and eliminate the problem. Along with allowing you to avoid the expense of replacing various pieces of furniture, the actual bed bug heat treatment cost in Winnipeg is much more affordable than many people think.
