Take The Bite Out Of Bed Bugs Before They Do

Bed bugs Phoenix is a growing problem not just in homes and apartments but also hospitals, hotels, motels and other lodging. They have no preference when it comes to clean or dirty environments. They enter and exit a room or home by clinging onto furnishings, luggage, clothing, pets and their bedding, mattresses, pillows and drapes and then crawling onto a new area.

These flat and oval parasites are only four to five millimeters long and resemble a tiny tick. They have six legs and wings but cannot fly, and they live in temperatures 65 degrees and hotter. They are reddish brown in color but become darker after feeding. Their size makes them extremely difficult to see or feel even when crawling on a person's skin.

Although they do not carry diseases, they do feed on the blood of warm blooded animals such as people and their pets. They are most active at night so it is not uncommon for people and pets to awaken with bite marks or rashes. Other physical reactions include hives, itchy skin or anemia. Difficulty sleeping and anxiety may also be experienced.

Bed bugs Phoenix are hard to control since females lay eggs daily which results in very quick infestation. Some home remedies prove somewhat effective such as purchasing special products from the local hardware store to spray in affected areas. Constant vacuuming and washing clothing, bedding and other washables in extremely hot water is another possible solution. Completing these home remedies may eliminate some of these tiny bugs; but there will still be some adults, eggs and larvae left behind that will quickly mature and restart the whole process.

Professional exterminators such as Blue Sky Pest Control provide a thorough treatment process to kill all stages of these pests. Repeating these steps on a routine basis will prevent future infestation. Their products will not stain or harm any home furnishings or inhabitants including pets. Strong chemicals such as DDT were used after World War II to rid dwellings of bed bugs, but the use of that pesticide has been banned  due to severe health conditions resulting from its use. Other substances that have been approved by the EPA are now used and very effective.

Infestation of bed bugs Phoenix in homes and businesses can be controlled with the proper attention. Home remedies may cut down the population, but the problem will persist without professional treatment.
