Bedbugs info

Bedbugs have evolved as nest parasites, inhabiting the nests of birds and the roosts of bats with some of them learning to adapt to the human environment. They adapt by finding their preferred habitats in human homes: mattresses, sofas, clothing, and other soft furnishings. It is a bonus if the area is dark as well since they tend to like dimly lit areas. They seek shelter in dark cracks and crevices when disturbed. Bedbugs are seen as a growing problem within all types of dwellings, including private homes, dormitories, cruise ships, army barracks, and shelters. An affordable bed bug Treatment in Summerville and Charleston Tri County Area will take care of them.

Newborn bedbugs, called hatchlings or nymphs, are tiny but visible and about the size of a poppy seed. Adults grow to about a quarter inch long with an oval and flattened shape when they are not feeding. After feeding, they can double in size. Nymphs, eggs, and adults are visible to the naked eye.

When seen close up, their color may range from a white, light tan to a deep brown or burnt orange color. After feeding, a dark red or black blob may be observed within their body.

Signs of bedbug activity may occur beneath loose areas of wallpaper near beds, in the corner of desks and dressers, in the laundry, and in drawers.

Keep an eye out for dark brown or rust-colored bedbug droppings on mattresses and stained material. Bedbug excrement is a liquid that looks either light brown or black, and it usually either turns into beads or is absorbed by the material surrounding it.
