Bed bugs may be small, but if these tiny pests are causing a stir in your home, then it’s time for bed bug control services.
Bed bugs measure a quarter-inch at the most, and though these insects can crawl up to 100 feet, they usually live, sleep, and breed within eight feet from bedding or sleeping areas—yikes.
The safest and most effective way to permanently eliminate bed bugs is with pest control in Denton. Read on to learn why your Denton home is attracting bed bugs and why bed bugs are so difficult to treat. We’ll also provide reasons why bed bug control services are always worth it and how Mayco Pest & Termite Control can help.
Why Do Denton Homes Attract Bed Bugs?
Unlike many common household pests, bed bugs almost always enter homes by hitching a ride on people and pets rather than walking themselves indoors.
There are a few factors that may help bed bugs thrive in your Denton home, including:
- Clutter, especially underneath and around bedding areas
- Dirty laundry or bedding
- Outdoor pests
- Used upholstered furniture and other secondhand items
You’re also at a greater risk of bringing bed bugs indoors if you frequent high-traffic areas, including airports and public transportation, schools and daycare centers, hospitals, and health care facilities.
Why Are Bed Bugs So Difficult To Treat?
Bed bugs pose two unique difficulties when they infest homes that make them especially problematic to homeowners:
- Bed bugs have fast-breeding behaviors, and they multiply quickly. Female bed bugs produce just one egg per day, which, in large infestations, can yield hundreds of offspring daily. The size of an infestation makes it challenging to eliminate without professional solutions.
- Bed bugs eat about once a week when food is available and will remain hidden and out of view, otherwise lengthening the time that bed bugs can be lurking out of sight, even when you think you’ve already handled the infestation.
Remember that bed bugs are also tiny, and though they’re visible to the naked eye, they’re not always easy to see, especially in cluttered, dim-lit areas.
Why Professional Bed Bug Treatment Is Always Worth It
Bed bugs can be picked up anywhere, and unknowingly brought inside. Because of this constant risk, local pest control for bed bugs is the most effective way to prevent bed bugs year-round.
