Bed bugs infestation

The adult bed bug is an oval-shaped, wingless insect that is 5–6 mm (about 0.24 in) long. Their color changes from rusty brown to a deeper reddish-brown following a blood meal. At room temperature of about 20C, an adult bedbug can survive for six months; in colder regions, this time is significantly extended. Each female lays two to three eggs every day for the duration of her life after mating. The 1 mm-long, cream-colored eggs will hatch in about 10 days at room temperature; in colder weather, it may take longer. 

The hatchlings are referred to as nymphs. The nymphs measure from 1-4 mm in length and have a lighter color. Bed bugs are a highly elusive species with a flattened body that makes them difficult to identify. They typically hide in dim areas near sleeping areas. This includes under skirting, in various wall gaps and crevices, beneath mattresses, floorboards, paintings, and carpets, as well as inside bed frames and other furniture. 

Where can we find the presence of bed bugs?

Bed bugs can be found almost anywhere people congregate, including homes, hotels, workplaces, schools, retail establishments, and even public transportation. They are small and easily carried by luggage, bedding, clothing, and furniture. Bed bugs' mouthparts are made to penetrate flesh and draw blood. During feeding, they can thin the blood by injecting saliva. Warmth and the carbon dioxide we breathe attract bed bugs.

They will often eat mostly at night, seek cover during the day, and become sedentary while they process their blood meal. They have a lengthy survival time without cast skins and bed bugs, alive or dead.

 

 The presence of live bed bugs will attest to the infestation's ongoing activity. 

  • Fecal spotting: This is the bed bugs' digested blood. It usually shows up at the seams and beading of mattresses, though it can also be seen on the sheets at first.
  • Eggs: around 1mm in size, cream in color, and typically placed in dark nooks. 

How Are Infestations Spotted? 

If you observe any of the following symptoms, you undoubtedly have an infestation:

  • if any bloodstains are visible on the beds or sheets. 
  • if there is an awful, sickly-sweet smell. 
  • If you see little, dark patches on your linen that appear to be feces. 
  • if a live bed bug is discovered. 
  • If you see dark, black stains from excrement on your mattress or in the vicinity. 
  • If you have lately experienced bite-related skin welts and inflammation. 

How to identify bug bites?

  • a bite featuring a small, dark red mark next to a red, swollen region. 
  • blisters or hives close to the bite site.
  • a burning and itchy feeling where the bite was made.

How to treat bed bug infestation?

It is imperative that you burn your mattress before disposing of it to avoid spreading the infection to other furniture pieces. It is required to first seal the bedding in a plastic bag before discarding it. Make certain that the linens in your house are dried in a dryer and cleaned in hot water. Your sensitive and delicate goods can be stored in the freezer until they are totally frozen. 

 

How to prevent infestation?

  • Make sure your furnishings, linens, and bedding are tidy. 
  • Steer clear of buying used or dated furniture and bedding with cloth.
  • Protect your bedding box and mattresses with plastic covers. 
  • It will be much simpler to see a bed bug on your tiled floor than in your carpet if you have returned from vacation or a hotel stay and feel like you may have brought a few bed bugs with you. Store your luggage in the bathroom or garage first. 
  • Wash the clothes you are worried about at the hottest temperature possible. 

What's the Danger of Bed Bugs? 

Bed bugs are microscopic insects that feed on human and animal blood, putting your family members and pets at peril. Their bites can cause physical and psychological discomfort and disrupt your sleep, but they do not spread disease.
