The common bed bug is visible to the naked eye but it's often the material that they leave behind that will alert you that you have a bed bug problem. Even when the bed bugs themselves cannot be found, their hiding places can be located by looking for the spots of fecal material they often leave in easily visible places. If you find these, then start looking for hiding places. Bed bugs often accumulate in dark, isolated and protected places. Do not confine your search to one room either, often bed bugs travel to adjoining areas. Once you've confirmed that bed bugs have infiltrated your space, you need to take action immediately.
Inspect the mattress thoroughly for rips, tears, stains that will indicate that bed bugs have settled in. If the damage is severe, it may be in your best interest to replace your mattress. If this is not possible, you can treat the mattress with a pesticide and then cover the mattress with a specially designed encasement and zip it up. This will ensure that it is still safe to use and prevent bed bugs from attacking in the future. Disassemble your bed frame in order to find every hiding spot and nesting place. If you do not find and treat every spot you will be repeating this process in just a few months.
Treatment will involve every inch of your room. Using a product that is available at most big box stores, apply either a residual liquid, aerosol or dust residual to everything in the room. This will include all baseboards, night stands, chests, dressers, couches and chairs. Read the instructions carefully as some products may be harmful to certain surfaces and others are not allowed to be used on mattresses or box springs. You will need to repeat treatment once every ten days. Bed bugs return to feed often and you will need to treat several times before they are fully eliminated.
Bed bug infestations have become more common in recent years and they show no signs of being partial to one area or another. It seems that bed bugs New Jersey are just as popular as bed bugs Louisiana. Health effects such a rash, allergies and blisters have been known to show up on people with a bed bug problem, but there may be no physical symptoms. The best way to confirm and treat a problem is to search for the predators and then use a professional grade treatment cleaner.
