Bedbugs love people and they tend to gather where lots of people live.
They feed on our blood by piercing through our skin with tiny, saw-like mouthparts.
The fact that they can live for up to a year without any food makes them even more troublesome.
They can also survive pesticides by simply moving away from sprayed or treated areas and finding new places nearby to live.
But a bedbug problem isn’t impossible to solve.
Enlist the services of a professional. It can be challenging to locate all the sources of bedbugs around your home yourself, but a professional may know exactly where to look and how to isolate the infestation.
Professional exterminators are able to use a combination of chemicals, pesticides, and steam or heat treatments to get rid of infestations.
Also, wash and dry your clothes and bedding on high heat, fix or seal cracks in your paint or wallpaper, and scrub the seams of mattresses or upholstery with a stiff brush.
This can scrape away any eggs or bugs that might be hiding in the crevices of your furniture.
