3 Reasons You Don’t Want To Put Off Bed Bug Treatments

In our most recent blog, we heard from a customer who didn’t immediately realize they had a bed bug problem. Yes, they were waking up with strange bites, but they thought it was a flea problem because they had several cats. Once they realized the bed bugs were to blame, they quickly hit the issue hard with our bed bug killing spray and some dust.
It’s also a good thing they did because a bed bug infestation will worsen until it starts looking like this. (Don’t click that link.) Here are three reasons you want to start looking for a bed bug solution when you suspect something might be noshing on you in the middle of the night.
Their Numbers Are Just Going To Grow
As bad as bed bugs are, the good thing is that they don’t reproduce as quickly as some other bugs. At the same time, a single female can lay 500 eggs over her lifetime. Considering that bed bugs hold up well to inbreeding, one pregnant female is all it takes to start an infestation.
Here’s an even bigger problem: nothing will keep their number in check.
Most houses don’t have the bed bug’s natural predators, such as centipedes or ants. Many of us kill other natural predators, such as spiders, when we see them. (We prefer to toss spiders outside, but that doesn’t keep the bed bug population in check either). So, unless you want to sit around and watch a few bed bugs die of old age. At the same time their population explodes, you’ll want to find an all-natural bed bug spray that speeds up their dying process exponentially!
You’ll Keep Getting Bitten
Regarding bed bugs, it’s not like they bite you a few times and move on. You’ve given them a good life that’s warm and comfortable, free from predators, and no rent! You protect, feed, and give them a nice place to reproduce — why would they ever leave?
Night after night, they will come back, sucking your blood, giving you rashes, and making you scratch in public. During the winter, as you cover your body more with pajamas and covers, they’ll move to exposed areas such as your face and neck. As their numbers grow, you’ll be bitten more every night. While those bites might not kill you, they will undoubtedly give you a negative view of the room in your house where you should feel most safe. And speaking of rooms…
They’re Going To Travel
As populations get crowded, almost every animal has some members who wander off searching for new food. Bed bugs are no different; they will move into other bedrooms as things get filled. That might mean infesting your kid’s bedroom or a guest bedroom where they could survive for a year waiting for your parents to visit.
You must also worry about taking the bed bugs when traveling. Any of them in your dresser could catch a ride on your socks. The next time you head to a relative’s house, infesting their home as well. Suppose you take care of your home with an all-natural bed bug solution. In that case, you’re protecting your extended family (as well as your fellow travelers).
Look for the signs at the first sign of a bed bug problem. Grab one of our bed bug lights to look for adults, nymphs, eggs, and fecal spots. Then attack them hard, and you won’t have to worry about a much worse infection in the future!
