Bed Bug Bites
Are The Bites From Bed Bugs?
The only way to tell if you are getting bitten by bed bugs and not some other pest is to find the bed bugs themselves. There are many bugs in Mesa that can cause a similar reaction. What could it be besides bed bugs? Here are the most common pests (besides bed bugs) that bite or cause skin irritation in Mesa: Ants, Mites, Mosquitos, Spiders, Ticks, and Carpet Beetles.
The first thing you should do is inspect the beds and couches to see if you can find bugs. The bed bugs can be hard to find, especially in newer infestations. If you can not find any bugs then contact us for a free inspection. Call or text (480) 351-1700 or fill out the form below.
There’s no denying that a bed bug infestation is a nuisance. This is why it’s imperative that you compare your different treatment options. Contact us today to learn more about treating bed bugs in Mesa.
One of the most prominent aspects of bed bugs is that they can linger in your furniture and home unsuspected. Whether it be hanging out in your favorite recliner or sleeping on your mattress, there is a chance that bed bugs could be present. And worse yet, bed bugs are dying to suck on your blood. Once they have finished a feeding session, they will retreat with the sole intention of digesting the blood and laying more eggs. These bites will often be noticeable on your body, and if bleeding occurs from the bites, there will likely be blood stains on your clothes or bed lines.
The bites themselves are not painful. In fact, you won’t likely feel anything when you are bitten by a bed bug. Why is this? Because bed bugs have the ability to inject you with an analgesic substance. Just the same as many other bloodsuckers, these pests take advantage of an anticoagulant to eliminate the chances of the blood clotting, meaning you may or may not see evidence of a bed bug bite for 24 hours after the bite has taken place.
It’s important to keep in mind that many people report bed bug bites to look extremely similar to bites left by mosquitoes. These bites are often also itchy like mosquito bites. If you have bites and you’re not sure whether they are mosquito or bed bug bites, it’s pertinent that you allow us to perform an inspection to determine the type of pests you are dealing with. If there is a bed bug infestation, it will need to be treated as soon as possible to help prevent the bugs from becoming larger in number.
