New Jersey pest control experts rarely have feel good stories to tell about bed bug infestations. The truth is…bed bugs are nasty bloodsucking insects that infest homes and businesses around the United States at alarming rates. These creepy pests lurk in the cracks and crevices in bedrooms, walls, electrical items, wallpaper, floorboards, clothing, curtains, electrical outlets, books, personal belongings, and furniture.
Bed bugs are sneaky creatures that emerge during the wee hours of the morning to find their victim. They prefer a human host, but Fido or Fluffy will do just fine if need be. They stab their victim and inject a fluid with a numbing agent to hide their presence. They then take great pleasure in sucking the blood of their victim for up to 10 minutes before they scurry off and hide once again so they can digest their meal. They will stay in hiding, making bed bug babies, until they are ready to feast again. Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown and about the size of an apple seed. Nymphs are smaller and lighter in color. Eggs are tiny and white and very difficult to see. Because of their elusive behavior, many people don’t know that these creepy bugs are in their home until they have a serious infestation on their hands. This is the life of a bed bug.
When a customer calls a pest control professional for help with ridding their home of bed bugs, it’s easy to understand that they would be upset and frustrated dealing with these disgusting pests. Pest control experts are tasked with calming customers and providing the best bed bug eradication services to eliminate the pesky creatures.
Just recently a NYC pest control team was prepping an elderly woman’s apartment for bed bug treatment when a technician found more than just bed bugs. Stashed underneath stacks of clothing inside of a closet were two envelopes that contained $10,000, watches, jewelry, and a lockbox that were long since forgotten about. The owner claims that the items were placed in the closet for safe-keeping years ago, and she was ecstatic to receive them back.
