How To Spot An Active Bed Bug Infestation In Lake Hopatcong, NJ

Bed bugs are problematic pests that are found in most public settings and can be introduced into any Lake Hopatcong property at any time of the year. Bed bugs crawl onto people and their clothing or into their personal belongings where they are then accidentally introduced into homes. Once inside a home, they will continue to feed and breed, growing their numbers until they are forced out through professional bed bug control services. If bed bugs are living inside of your Lake Hopatcong home, you may notice some or all of the following common signs of an infestation:

• Red dots of blood or dark streaks of fecal material found on mattresses, box springs, linens, or walls.
• Piles of molted bed bug skins under mattresses and box springs, on the floor, inside closets or drawers.
• Discovering live or dead apple-seed shaped insects that are reddish-brown in color in the cracks and crevices of mattresses, box springs, furniture, or walls.
• Waking up with red, itchy bite marks, especially on the legs, arms and other body parts exposed while sleeping.
• However, it is important to understand that bed bug bites look like many other “bug” bites and that not everyone will react to their bites.
• In the case of a large infestation, a sweet musty odor may develop throughout your home or in a specific room of your home.

If you ever spot or even think you spot bed bugs living inside of your home, immediately contact ChemTec Pest Control so that our professionals can perform a thorough inspection and provide the treatment needed to completely eliminate blood-feeding bed bugs from your home.
