You have probably heard the horror stories of bed bugs found in hotel rooms around the country. Less often we hear stories about how bed bugs have infiltrated a home or an apartment and how much damage and expense they cause.

Bed bugs are tiny, parasitic insects that feed on blood from warm blooded animals, including humans. They are called bed bugs because they are often found within the seams of mattresses and come out during the night to bite and feed on the sleeper. They don’t stay in mattresses, though. They will spread and hide throughout all fabric surfaces in a room, including carpets, drapes, and upholstery. What makes matters worse is that they hitchhike and are then easily transported from one location to another. A person who stays at a bed bug infested location can inadvertently transport some of them home with him/her. The bed bugs will quickly multiply and then the home is infested.

To ensure complete removal and destruction of a bed bug infestation often means having to dispose of all belongings. If you keep a chair or dresser for sentimental reasons and it has bed bugs in it, you could start the infestation process all over again unless the item has been properly treated with a pesticide.

It is in the best interest of apartment complexes to have the unit treated by an exterminator.
