Get StartedBed bugs are insects with a diet that solely consists of blood from people and some animals, including our dogs and cats. Humans are a bed bug’s preferred food source, so they are so common in our beds and homes. Like other pests in the greater Redding, CA area, they like to live close to their food sources.
Bed bugs are oval-shaped insects. They are wingless and cannot jump; their primary mode of transportation is crawling or hitchhiking. Their reddish-brown color and flat body shape make it easy for bed bugs to move into tight cracks and crevices and stay out of our sight.
A single female can lay between 200-250 eggs in its lifetime; the eggs develop into blood-feeding nymphs in only six to ten days. Bed bugs are prolific pests that can take over any California home or business they have found their way into very quickly.
Bed bugs are unwanted pests. They feed on our blood as we sleep, and in individuals allergic to their saliva, they leave behind red, itchy rashes. Bed bugs are known for having “breakfast, lunch, and dinner,” leaving behind itchy bites in a linear pattern. Incessant scratching at the bite sites can cause further problems, including a secondary infection.
Bed bugs are a problem for home and business owners because these blood-feeding pests have adapted to living inside with people. Bed bugs move from place to place without much effort after crawling onto people or our belongings. We do the work for them; we unknowingly and unintentionally bring bed bugs with us into our homes.
Wherever people live or visit in large numbers, there is the potential for bed bugs to be present. Some of the most common places where people and bed bugs come into contact with each other include the following:
It can take some time for a homeowner to notice a bed bug infestation in their house. In the beginning stages of an infestation, bed bugs stay very well hidden and only emerge from their hiding spots at night when we are sleeping. As the bed bugs breed and feed, their numbers quickly increase, making it more difficult for their presence to remain hidden.
Some of a bed bug’s favorite hiding spots in our California homes include the following:
In addition to seeing bed bugs, other signs of an infestation include noticing a sweet, musty odor in your home, waking up with unexplained bed bug bites, or finding tiny spots of blood or dark streaks of excrement on bedding, pillows, or walls and floors.
