Bedbugs and ways of their appearance in the apartment
For many centuries, bedbugs, along with other blood-sucking parasites, lived in almost every human home. Modern means of sanitary treatment against bedbugs have allowed the vast majority of Russians to firmly forget about the existence of harmful insects, but from time to time they still penetrate into our cozy, clean homes. It is not difficult to identify them: they are small insects of a brownish-brown color, with an oval-shaped abdomen, not exceeding 3-4 mm in length. When crushed, a characteristic odor is felt, somewhat reminiscent of the aroma of cognac.
Bedbugs enter apartments in several ways:
- through ventilation ducts or utility channels;
- with used furniture, books, household appliances, in a suitcase with things after a trip;
- on the clothes or shoes of people entering from the entrance or from the street;
- along the outer wall of the house through an open window.
In any case, if parasites are detected, you should immediately warn your neighbors. Successful destruction of bedbugs is possible only if all apartments in the entrance are treated, or better yet, the entire house at once, including basements, attics and other utility rooms.
The Moscow City Disinfection Service will exterminate bedbugs in Moscow and the Moscow region - in residential, office, warehouse, industrial premises, hostels, change houses, hotels, hostels.
- We will ensure complete elimination of the parasite population and long-term barrier protection against re-infection.
- To work in apartments with small children, allergy sufferers, and especially sensitive people, we use premium-class drugs.
- The price for exterminating bedbugs is from 1,800 rubles.

How to get rid of bed bugs yourself?
Let's take a look at some common techniques for killing bedbugs at home and recommendations from more experienced people.
Treatment with turpentine and kerosene has a detrimental effect on bedbugs; they should be used to treat their habitats. To get rid of bed bugs, in addition to these chemicals, you should try using acetic acid, boiling water, or creating low temperature conditions. In winter, bed linen, mattresses and pillows are taken out into the yard, where pests die from the cold.
Before you get rid of bedbugs yourself, it is worth familiarizing yourself with some features of their life cycle. They live for about a year, but at the same time they reproduce quite actively and constantly breed offspring. Without food, they hibernate and can remain in this state for a very long time. Bedbugs adapt to their surrounding conditions. If they find there is a lack of food, they move to more attractive premises and settle down there.
How to get rid of bedbugs forever is a question asked by apartment owners driven to despair. They are tired of suffering from the bites left by bed bugs and want to exterminate them in one day. But this is impossible for the reason that pests are very tenacious. One female is capable of laying up to a dozen eggs within 24 hours after fertilization. It is easy to calculate that in a year this number will be about five hundred pieces.
When laying eggs, the female shows sufficient caution. She chooses only places that are difficult for people to reach. It is noteworthy that after treatment with chemicals, eggs are much more likely to survive than adults.
The main food is blood. Neither males, nor females, nor their larvae can do without it. Due to their natural caution, bedbugs usually become active at night, when a person is sleeping and cannot react in time to their appearance. But in cases where their population reaches a significant size, the bedbugs become bolder and begin to bite even in daylight.
Pests do not create nests, but use available opportunities for settlement: cracks, folds of upholstered furniture, bed boxes.
Pests have an excellent sense of smell and feel where there is an opportunity to profit, even through walls. The transparent larva, after saturation, turns red and then turns into a mature bug. The pest will drink up to seven milliliters of blood in one go.
Significant temperatures have a detrimental effect on their bodies. Already at fifty degrees they begin to die. Therefore, boiling water is poured in the places where they are supposed to live.
Typically, people become aware of the presence of bedbugs after discovering a bite on their body or blood stains on their bedding. Bite marks are arranged in a certain order, in the form of stripes. Pests choose places on the body that are easier for them to bite through. It is for this reason that children who have delicate and smooth skin often become their victims.
After bites, burning and itching occurs. It is possible that you will have to use medications and start taking antihistamines.
Recently, many people who decided to fight bedbugs on their own have tried using ultrasonic repellers . Their advantages include:
- the products will allow you to get rid of both cockroaches and small rodents;
- repellers have no effect on humans or pets;
- Pest control does not require any effort.
In a retail chain, you can choose such a product after testing its effectiveness in specific conditions.
This will allow you to draw conclusions about its effectiveness and get rid of bedbugs once and for all. phone_enabled

Types of bedbugs
Entomologists count more than 40 thousand species of bedbugs living on all continents of our planet. Some of them feed on plant sap, pollen or plant seeds, others are predators and destroy small insects, as well as their eggs and larvae. But there are also parasitic species of these insects that require human or animal blood to maintain life. We are talking about the so-called bedbugs that live in human homes and attack at night when people are sleeping in bed. Another species - kissing bugs - lives in the equatorial and subequatorial zones and is practically never found in our country.
Why are bedbugs dangerous?
Bedbug bites are almost imperceptible, since the insects, when they pierce the skin, inject a little saliva, which contains a strong anesthetic. Red dots appear on any part of the body - on the legs, arms, back, neck, sides, etc. The consequences of bites are:
- poorly healing, unbearably itchy wounds surrounded by inflamed, swollen tissue;
- allergic reactions to components of saliva - itchy rash, runny nose, dizziness and arrhythmias;
- infection of wounds with pathogenic bacteria with the formation of purulent inflammations;
- anemia, decrease in hemoglobin level in the blood (most typical for children).
The causative agents of dangerous diseases - hepatitis B, typhus, anthrax, tularemia, brucellosis, smallpox and tuberculosis - remain in the body of the bug for a long time. Scientists say that the transmission of these infections through bedbug bites has not been reliably proven, but the risk of infection still exists.

Liquid insecticides
Preparations with a liquid consistency are produced in the form of emulsions containing insecticidal microcapsules. They have a contact effect, as a result of which toxic components enter the body of bedbugs and affect their nervous system.
On a note!
Microencapsulated preparations are used not only to kill parasites, but also as protective barriers.
Mikrofos+
Another odorless bed bug remedy with a similar composition. Due to this, it has a wide spectrum of action and a long period of protection. Mikrofos + is used to treat kindergartens and hospitals.
Review
I purchased Mikrofos + on the recommendation of a neighbor. She said that they are periodically treated at the hospital where she works. The drug turned out to be very effective - the very next day you could see the number of dead bloodsuckers, which gave me a big shock.
Irina, Lipetsk
Get
Get remedy for bedbugs
The drug Get is a microencapsulated suspension based on chlorpyrifos. High efficiency and safety for human health are the main advantages of the product. Get is available in small 100 ml bottles, which is enough to treat a room of 100 square meters. m. Get product has a long period of action, which lasts for six months.
Review
We tried a lot of pesticides to get rid of bedbugs in the apartment. However, each time the result was short-lived - after a few days the insects began to attack with renewed vigor. A friend recommended purchasing Get emulsion. Surprisingly, the drug turned out to be very effective. The parasites disappeared after the first treatment. Get is the best remedy for fighting bedbugs. I recommend.
Olga, Kislovodsk
Delta Zone
Delta Zone product
A new insecticidal drug that is gaining popularity, the basis of which is deltamethrin. This is a very effective, odorless microencapsulated bedbug poison. The product is available in 50 ml bottles. The consumption of the emulsion is quite economical - 10 ml of suspension is needed for 1 liter of water. After application, a thin layer of insecticidal solution remains on the surface, which can be easily washed off with water.
Review
We bought an apartment. When they began to renovate it, it turned out that it was a real breeding ground for bedbugs. My sister advised me to treat her with Delta Zone, which is what we did. The result was very impressive; the bedbugs started falling the very next day. It took about 10 days to completely destroy them. A good remedy. I recommend.
Anna, Kursk
This list can also include the drugs Xulat S25, Lambda Zone, Dobrokhim-FOS, Minap 22.
Executioner
A drug that does not cause an allergic reaction, but is effective in killing parasites. The available form of release is a concentrated emulsion, which is diluted in warm water.
The proportions are taken according to the recommendations from the instructions. Dosages depend on the degree of damage to the apartment by bloodsuckers.
Fufanon
Another, no less popular insecticide, odorless. Sold in the form of a liquid concentrate, packaged in ampoules. Dilute in dosage according to the attached instructions.
The drug is applied to surfaces or sprayed. The substance is toxic, so protective measures are required when working with it.
Xulat
A new generation Spanish drug that is not yet commercially available. Sold only through dealers and the Internet. The price of one bottle is about 400 rubles, which is enough to treat 40 square meters. m.
It is a three-component insecticide, without volatile substances in the composition. It acts on parasites instantly - after a single treatment they are completely destroyed. The residual effect lasts for 6-7 months. The advantage of the product is that bedbugs have not developed immunity to it.
Methods for killing bedbugs at home
Over many centuries of fighting against domestic bloodsuckers, people have used many methods to kill bed bugs. The most popular of them are:
- freezing - leaving the house in severe frosts without heating for several days;
- scalding - pouring boiling water onto hard-to-reach cracks in the floor, walls, furniture, in which insects hide during the day and lay eggs;
- round-the-clock lighting of rooms - it is known that bloodsuckers do not like to be in the light and are reluctant to crawl out of cracks;
- the use of various plants with a strong odor that repels insects - wormwood, lavender, tea tree.
With the development of household chemicals, all kinds of insecticidal preparations were added to them, from dichlorvos to Mashenka chalk. However, even with careful daily cleaning of the apartment, there is no guarantee that home remedies will help get rid of parasites. There is always a risk of their penetration from neighbors who do not fight insects and allow them to reproduce.
List of insecticidal and insectoacaricidal preparations for the control of arthropods that are not registered in the Russian Federation in accordance with the established procedure.
General recommendations
Bedbugs react to sudden changes in temperature. In winter, you can open windows and doors and ventilate the room. Or take mattresses, bed linen, pillows, carpets, etc. outside for a couple of hours in severe frost.
For this, the recommended temperature is less than -25 C. Extreme heat can also kill bedbugs. Things are left in direct sunlight. The temperature outside is from 40 C.
Another method is steam treatment. Apply locally, suitable for furniture. You can use a steam generator or steam cleaner. Bed linen can be boiled in water. Boiling water is also used to water bedbug nests.
Professional methods of disinfection against bedbugs
By contacting the Moscow City Disinfection Service, you have the right to count on the complete destruction of bedbugs with a guarantee of a positive result. However, we can guarantee the absence of relapses only in the case of total disinfestation of the entire house from top to bottom. In their work, exterminator teams use cold or hot fog methods. The choice of the optimal method depends on the specific conditions of the object.
Disinfection using cold fog method
In most cases, excellent results in bedbug disinfestation are achieved by using a cold fog generator. The principle of its operation is to spray a solution toxic to insects using a jet of compressed air. The liquid is broken into small particles under the influence of the air flow, turning into an aerosol.
The particle diameter varies between 30-70 microns, so the fog particles do not settle for 2-3 hours. During this time, the insecticide manages to penetrate into the smallest crevices, including furniture gaps, cavities under baseboards and switches, the interior of household appliances, etc. As a result, all insects in the room come under the influence of the insecticidal drug.
The choice of active ingredient is an important factor in the successful treatment of an apartment against bedbugs when treated with cold fog. There are significant requirements for the drug: it must be guaranteed to infect parasites, but at the same time not pose a danger to people and pets after its effect ends. The absence of a persistent unpleasant odor is a prerequisite, because no one will agree with the need to make repairs and change furniture after disinfection against bedbugs. In addition, the substance must be soluble in water.
After spraying, the toxic composition settles on all surfaces without exception, and even if some insects managed to avoid direct contact with the fog, they will be forced to come into contact with the insecticide later, when they go “hunting”. As a result, the bulk of the bloodsuckers will be destroyed immediately, and the rest - after a few days.
Destruction of bedbugs using the hot fog method
A hot fog (dry fog) generator also uses a pressurized stream of air to spray the insecticide. The difference lies in its temperature: the air is not only compressed by the compressor, but also heated to approximately 60°C. As a result, suspended particles are formed so small that they easily penetrate even deep into the fabric upholstery of upholstered furniture, not to mention cracks and gaps. Within a few hours after spraying, the drug affects not only adult and growing insects, but also laid eggs.
In addition to the toxic effect of the drug, an effective factor in killing bedbugs in an apartment is the increased temperature of the spray jet. Insects cannot withstand heating above 45°C and die very quickly. The suspension remains in the air for about 8 hours in a row, and during this time the insecticide in combination with hot air manages to destroy parasites even in the most inaccessible places.
Professional expensive generators are used to generate hot fog. It should be noted that only this method ensures the destruction of bedbugs in Moscow with a guarantee. The cost of the service is the highest of all sanitary treatment options, but only it ensures complete disposal of blood-sucking “neighbors” in one session.
Barrier protection
It is easier to prevent an attack by blood-sucking insects by not giving them a chance to get into your apartment. Barrier protection will help with this - a set of measures that will prevent them from entering residential premises. It consists of different methods, including:
- mechanical barriers - mosquito nets, traps, protective canopies, canopies installed on windows, ventilation grilles and other possible routes of insect penetration;
- repellers - all kinds of repellents, fumigators, etc.;
- destroying barriers - insecticidal crayons, gels and liquid preparations.
The most reliable protection is a multi-layer barrier that includes all of the above measures.
Protection may also be needed in cases where the location of the parasites is quickly localized and they have not yet had time to spread throughout the apartment. A classic example is purchasing an infected piece of furniture. If insects are found as soon as the product enters the house, then it is necessary to immediately surround it with a barrier that not a single bug can overcome without coming into contact with the insecticidal preparation. After some time, all insects will be destroyed.

What you need to know about bedbugs
Large cities have become excellent breeding grounds for bedbugs. This may surprise you, but one of the most relevant services in the capital is bedbug extermination services. To get rid of bedbugs in Moscow, we are called by administrators of hostels, hotels and dormitories, as well as owners of apartments and private houses. Over the past few decades, the population of these parasites has been increasing exponentially. The SES annually receives over 20 thousand applications for disinfestation from residents of Moscow and Moscow Region. Owners of houses and apartments most often face the need to call a bedbug service.
Treatment has become more complicated because bedbugs quickly develop immunity to various pest-harassing chemicals. We have to look for new derivatives to reduce resistance to treatment agents.
To get a consultation
There are over 30 species of bedbugs, each of which has its own type of food and habitat. Most often, people are annoyed by bed bugs. These are domestic parasites with a flat brown body. Adult, well-fed individuals usually grow 6-8 mm in length. Most of all they look like apple seeds.
See how a sofa is treated for bedbugs:
Bedbugs are especially active at night and in the morning - from 3 to 5 o'clock. However, if a bedbug colony is hungry, it can go out “hunting” at any time of the day. Bedbugs have an excellent sense of smell, so finding a victim is not difficult. The bug makes its way to an open area of skin and launches its proboscis. The food item does not feel the bite, since the pest injects an anesthetic substance. The bug takes about 5–15 minutes to feed on blood. After eating, it swells and crawls away to hide for 5-10 days. During this time, the adult insect digests food, mates and lays eggs.
In total, a female bedbug can lay over 500 eggs in a lifetime. Insects place their eggs in different places in the room, where they are difficult to detect. Finding and getting rid of such “nests” is the most difficult. A bug grows from a larva to a mature parasite in 40 days.
The danger of bedbugs is that they perfectly adapt to almost any external conditions and multiply quickly, causing huge problems for home owners. Often people don’t even care how much it costs to exterminate bedbugs; they are willing to pay any price just to get rid of the blood-sucking insects.
By the way, regardless of age, bedbugs can survive for a long time without food at all, so they will not die even if you leave the apartment for a month. Bedbugs enter a state of suspended animation, which lasts up to 12-18 months. So, if you want to starve the pests to get rid of them, this is clearly not the best option. The only effective, fast and safe method of destruction is a professional bedbug disinfection service in Moscow.
How to prepare an apartment for a visit from exterminators
If you called our SES to exterminate bedbugs, then by the appointed time of the specialists’ visit, the apartment should be prepared for treatment with an insecticidal preparation. You'll have to:
- thoroughly clean the apartment, wipe the dust, vacuum the carpets;
- wash clothes and linen at a temperature not lower than 60°C, after drying, put them in plastic bags and tie them tightly;
- remove the curtains from the windows, wash and iron them;
- pack dishes and other kitchen utensils into bags;
- put food in the refrigerator or take it away from home;
- wash and pack children's toys;
- remove cosmetics and hygiene items from the bathroom and bedroom;
- disconnect internal electrical wiring from the network;
- move furniture away from the walls, unfold folding furniture, open all cabinets, cabinets and drawers;
- dismantle baseboards and door frames;
- close the windows tightly.
It is advisable to remove from the house (after pre-treatment - washing, ironing, washing) all things that may interfere with the exterminators. There is no need to remove books, especially if you suspect that insects may be hiding in them - on the contrary, ask specialists to pay more attention to the library.
During processing, there should be no one in the apartment except specialists - neither adults, nor children, nor pets. If you have an aquarium that is difficult to move, cover it with a tight lid.

How to prepare for the arrival of the masters?
What to do after sanitizing your apartment for bedbugs
After completing the treatment against bedbugs, you must wait until the end of the period specified by the specialist. Exposure to hot fog requires 8-10 hours, cold fog - from 3 to 4 hours. After this, you can go into the apartment, open the windows and ventilate everything thoroughly, removing any remaining insecticide, then walk around the apartment with a vacuum cleaner, removing dead insects.
Next, you can begin cleaning, which consists of washing all contact surfaces (countertops, door handles, window sills, cabinets, etc.). First, you need to wash them with a solution of baking soda (2 teaspoons per glass of water), then again with a soap solution or regular cleaning product. When washing, you should wear household gloves and avoid skin contact with untreated objects. All textiles remaining in the house during disinfestation must be washed, woolen blankets and carpets must be thoroughly vacuumed.
If possible, it is better to leave the apartment empty for at least a week. During this time, the accidentally surviving bedbugs will get out of the cracks, come into contact with the insecticide residues on things and die. In any case, children and pets should not be allowed into the apartment until general cleaning with washing of floors, walls and windows, which can be started after one or two weeks.
Preparatory activities
Before you begin the process of exterminating bedbugs, you need to perform a number of steps to prepare the room for treatment:
- Review items that cannot be processed and, if they are free of parasites, seal them tightly or remove them from the apartment;
- Remove all pets from the premises;
- Invite everyone living in the apartment to leave it for a while.
On a note!
You should not hope that you can get rid of all parasites in one treatment. This is only possible if they did not have time to breed. Quite often, the procedure for baiting bedbugs in an apartment requires repetition. This can be explained by the fact that the chosen method is not entirely effective. After all, there is no single universal remedy that can get rid of all synanthropic insects. The duration of the fight depends on the degree of infestation of the premises, the selected insecticide and the treatment method.
The use of any toxic substance, especially at home, requires compliance with safety measures. It is necessary to purchase a respirator or gauze bandage, rubber gloves, a spray bottle and protective clothing. Having prepared in this way, you can begin to destroy bed bugs.
Detailed step-by-step instructions on what and how to poison bedbugs in an apartment can be obtained from videos posted on the relevant Internet resources. But first you need to find the places where bedbugs are most concentrated. This will help "kill the enemy in his lair." After cleaning the apartment with a vacuum cleaner, you should begin the disinfestation process. The chosen methods also determine the means that will have to be used to poison the bedbugs.
Habitats
The maximum effect in this fight can be achieved if you do the following:
- If possible, find all places of mass accumulation of insects and destroy them mechanically;
- Provide access to walls and baseboards by moving furniture away from them at a distance of at least 15-20 cm;
- Carefully treat the sofa, all upholstered and wooden furniture, beds, mattresses, baseboards, door frames, ventilation wells, walls behind carpets and paintings, all holes and cracks;
- Wash bed linen at high temperature, preferably 90 degrees, and dry clean pillows and blankets.
Preventing the appearance of bedbugs in the apartment
To avoid ordering a bedbug extermination service, the price of which, although not too high, still burdens the family budget, you need to follow a few simple rules.
- Seal all the cracks and cavities in the apartment through which insects can get to you from neighboring apartments. Regularly re-glue the wallpaper, as harmful insects often settle under them.
- Check every piece of furniture that comes into your home. There are known cases when bedbugs were found in a new sofa brought from the salon.
- When staying at a hotel, guest house or other temporary accommodation, immediately check the premises for bedbugs. Inspect baseboards, mattresses, sofas and armchairs, cabinets and other furniture.
- Treat ventilation grilles and other possible entry points for parasites with long-acting barrier preparations, and do not forget to renew them regularly.
If you still need qualified services for the destruction of bedbugs with a guarantee of success, then contact the professionals - the Moscow City Disinfection Service.
Search for bedbugs and their nests
The duration of the stage is 30-50 minutes, sometimes up to 2 hours.
At this stage, the maximum number of nests (ideally all nests) of bed bugs in the apartment is opened so that all bed bugs can be treated directly with the drug.
Dezincity exterminators use products with a long residual effect to bait bedbugs - up to 2-3 weeks after treatment, bedbugs will continue to die from contact with the drug that has dried on surfaces. This usually ensures that even if some individuals are not directly treated during pest control, they will die within a few days of baiting.
An example of a similar product, but not a professional one, but available for self-disinfestation, is shown in the video below - this is a test of the residual effect on bedbugs:
However, for maximum reliability and speed of destruction of parasites, it is very important to spray all of them during processing. Therefore, they all need to be found before processing. For this:
- All sleeping places in the apartment are inspected. If these are beds, then the mattresses are removed from them, and both the mattresses and the bed frame are inspected. If the sleeping places are sofas, then they open, turn over, and the backs and armrests are unscrewed from them;
- If bedbugs or their traces are found in the sleeping area - excrement, eggs, skins - then the entire sleeping area is disassembled so that absolutely all joints and places where parts fit together can be inspected;
- If the sleeping area is significantly infested, when it is obvious to the exterminator that bedbugs live in the room for more than six months, and even more so if there are signs that they were tried to poison them on their own, the baseboards are removed throughout the room and the spaces behind them and the edges of the floor covering are inspected;
- Furniture is moved away from the walls (in a good way, this should be done by the client himself in order to prepare the apartment for the arrival of the exterminator, but in reality, almost none of the clients bother to prepare for treatment in this way);
- If there are carpets hanging on the walls, then they are removed, their back part and the walls behind them are examined;
- Bookshelves are removed from the walls, books and the back walls of the shelves are selectively inspected.
In very rare cases, it is necessary to remove wallpaper and ceiling skirting boards. This only happens with a very severe infestation, when there are critically many bedbugs in the apartment.
As a rule, in most apartments from the list above, you need to perform the first four steps, and the baseboards are removed only if the exterminator suspects the presence of bedbugs behind them.
According to our statistics, in 98% of treated apartments, bedbugs are found in sleeping areas, in 40% - also outside the sleeping areas. In 55% of apartments, exterminators remove at least one baseboard; in 36%, insects are found behind them.
In almost all apartments you have to dismantle the sofas, if there are any. In about one case out of five, the sofa turns out to be not only contaminated, but also so decrepit that there is no point in disassembling it. Such sofas should be thrown away immediately. It is better to do this before the specialist arrives in preparation for disinfestation.
In 2% of apartments it is not possible to find bedbugs at all. Here we either find fleas or find no insects at all. Sometimes traces of bedbugs are found, sometimes there are no traces. In the latter case, we conclude that the person discovered a bedbug that accidentally got into the room and killed it, but because he did not inspect the apartment himself. That is, he doesn’t know whether there are other bedbugs here, and decides to call the service so that a specialist can certainly eliminate the insects, if any.
On approximately 4 calls out of a thousand, we do not process apartments at all, since we do not find any bedbugs or signs of their activity. Sometimes we agree in advance with clients from such apartments that if we don’t find insects, then they will only pay for a visit and consultation, and they will not carry out pest control.

Where do bed bugs come from?
With a bedbug infestation often comes the stigma of dirtiness. In fact, this may not be the case at all. Bed bugs do not distinguish between where the house is tidy and where it is not. Even the cleanest homes can fall victim to a bed bug infestation. These pests are not attracted to dirt, but to the warmth and carbon dioxide from your breath, which heralds a delicious nightly bloody meal.
How do bedbugs get into your home?
There are four common sources of bed bug infestation:
- Trips
- Buying used furniture
- Apartment buildings
- Lack of awareness
Infection with household bedbugs can happen to anyone.
Trips
Like many of you, bedbugs love to travel. They can easily get caught on clothing or luggage while hitchhiking to a new destination.
The hospitality industry is particularly at risk for bed bug infestations. Hotels, motels, hostels and other overnight accommodations are visited by hundreds of visitors every day. This human flow is the main potential to bring in a bedbug or two, from which infection will then begin.
Rental properties are also at risk. Visitors from all over the world come to stay, and if they bring bed bugs with them, the next tenant may also leave with a future bloody tenant.
Buying used furniture
Just like luggage, used furniture brings bed bugs directly into your home.
Despite their name bed bugs, the insects don't just live in beds. They prefer to be near people, so they can also be found on other furniture such as chairs, sofas and chests of drawers. If a piece of furniture is infested with bed bugs, the new owner of the piece can quickly develop an infestation. This is guaranteed to happen if pregnant females or their eggs are present at the purchase.
Before you bring any used furniture into your home, be sure to inspect it for bed bugs. Detection may be difficult to the untrained eye.
Common living areas
Another common source of bed bug infestation is a shared living space, such as a college dorm or apartment complex.
In the case of hostels, everything is clear: people come here from different places, often from all over the country or even from all over the world. It is impossible to be sure where their belongings were previously or what potential pest problems may be associated with their arrival. Around people living together in a shared space, bedbug infestations can spread incredibly easily.
Although living quarters in an apartment building are usually not as cramped as those in a dorm, the threat of bed bug infestation is ever-present. If one apartment gets infested with bed bugs, these blood-sucking pests only have a short way to find new victims in the bedrooms of unsuspecting neighbors.
Lack of awareness
But the most important thing is that many people simply don’t know enough about bed bugs. They don't know the symptoms of bed bug bites, how to prevent bed bugs, or even how to recognize them. How can you tell if you have bed bugs?
Unfortunately, without this information, it is difficult to detect bed bugs in your home. They like to stay hidden, only coming out when their victims are asleep.
It is essential that parasites of all ages and stages of development are eliminated. Otherwise you won't get rid of the infection.
In particular, bedbug eggs are almost impossible to detect.
You may realize you have bed bugs after finding bites on your body. However, everyone reacts differently to bed bug bites, so they can easily be confused with the bites of other pests. If you suspect bed bugs, act quickly.
Other signs of bed bugs to look out for:
Shed skins - bed bugs leave these behind when they move into a new life stage.
Dark red/black stains on sheets are fecal deposits left behind after bed bugs feed on blood
- An unpleasant odor, often described as coriander-like
- Blood stains on your bedding
- The bedbugs themselves are live (although they prefer to come out at night)
