HOW TO IDENTIFY BED BUGS
In case you’ve never seen them, bed bugs have a very distinctive size and shape. They are brown with an oval body. Bed bugs’ body varies in size depending on when they had their last meal. And, their bodies are flat, which means that they can squeeze almost anywhere. However, because they are about the size of an apple seed most often, you will likely not be able to make out too many details. If you have moving black/brown dots on your bedclothes, then you have a bed bug problem and need to call a bed bug exterminator.
Thankfully, bed bugs prefer to infest beds. Mattresses, box springs, headboards, and bed frames are their preferred habitat because they are parasites that feed on humans. But, keep in mind that while it’s true that you will most likely see bed bugs infesting a bedroom if they are in your home long enough, they will move to other areas. Therefore, you need to get bed bug treatment as soon as possible to keep the issue localized.
Visual Characteristics:
- Size: 4-5mm long (apple seed sized)
- Color: Reddish-brown to mahogany
- Shape: Oval-bodied, flat before feeding
- Distinctive Features: Six legs, two antennae, no wings
BED BUG DANGERS
Because bed bugs are parasites, they feed on their host—in this case, humans. Although a bite by a bed bug will not be life-threatening for most people in Jacksonville, a bed bugs bite still causes a red, itchy rash. This rash will appear in exposed parts of your body, such as your legs, arms, hands, face, neck, and shoulders.
Most people do not receive anything more serious than a rash from bed bugs. However, some people are allergic, and their reactions to a bed bugs’ bite can be severe. Plus, because the bites are itchy, they may lead to secondary infection, especially in populations like children and the elderly who are more prone to excessive scratching.
Signs of Infestation:
- Rusty or dark spots on bedding (bed bug excrement)
- Tiny white eggs and pale yellow skins
- Sweet, musty odor in heavily infested areas
- Blood stains on sheets from crushed bugs
- Live bugs in mattress seams and furniture joints
- Mattress Seams
- Baseboards
- Outlet Covers
- Cracks
- Bed Frames
- Picture Frames
- Switch Plates
Our Professional Bed Bug Treatment Process
Liquid Treatments
Our primary and most effective approach uses advanced liquid treatments that target bed bugs at all life stages. These professional-grade liquid applications penetrate deep into cracks, crevices, and hiding spots where bed bugs live. The treatments create a lasting residual barrier that continues working for weeks, eliminating both active bed bugs and those that may hatch later. This systematic approach ensures complete elimination of the infestation.
Fumigation Services
For severe infestations, we offer comprehensive fumigation services. This powerful treatment method involves sealing the affected area and introducing specialized fumigants that reach every possible hiding spot. Fumigation is particularly effective for multi-unit buildings or when bed bugs have spread throughout a structure. The process eliminates 100% of bed bugs in a single treatment, though proper preparation and temporary relocation are required.
A Note on Heat Treatments
While some companies offer heat treatments, we’ve chosen not to provide this service based on extensive field experience and research. Heat treatments often prove less reliable than our liquid and fumigation methods, as they can miss bugs in insulated areas and wall voids. Additionally, heat-resistant bed bug populations have emerged in recent years, making traditional chemical treatments more dependable for long-term control. Our focus remains on proven methods that deliver consistent, guaranteed results for our Jacksonville customers.
