Orkin Exterminator & Termite Control

Bedbug Control

Although they don't pose any serious health concerns, bedbugs live and hide in areas where people sleep. They are commonly found within bedding and mattresses, as well as on headboards, bed frames and springs. Because bedbugs are nocturnal insects, they can go easily undetected. However, dark spots and small bloodstains may indicate a bedbug infestation. Bedbugs also emit a musty odor from their glands and sometimes leave their eggs and molted skins in or around infested areas.

It is important to accurately identify offending insects before beginning any extermination treatments. Home remedies and those available in stores are rarely effective in treating an entire bedbug infestation. If you choose to utilize an over-the-counter insecticide, be sure to read and follow all label directions closely.

Pest control professionals administer the most effective treatments. It is advised that anyone with a suspected bedbug infestation contact their local expert to arrange an inspection and consultation.
