    A Clean and Bed Bug Free Home in Gibson City is just a call away..

    While having a clean and tidy house helps to prevent many types of insects, bed bugs could care less about sanitation. They are hitchhiking pests that can and will infest any home that they can access. These nasty insects are notoriously one of the most difficult pests to fight, and require professional intervention in order to properly treat for them. If you are dealing with a bed bug infestation, call us today and we will work tirelessly so that you can sleep soundly once again.

    What Do Bed Bugs and Their Bites Look Like?

    Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown in color with flat, oval-shaped bodies. They measure about 3/16 inches in length and are flat similar to an apple seed. After a sanguine meal, they are swollen and red, more rotund.

    Nymphs, the adolescent stage in the bed bug life cycle, are smaller than adults and appear yellow and waxy. The nymphs go through 5 different stages known as instars and each instar ends when the bed bug molts, growing larger.

    Bed bugs leave behind itchy red spots. Luckily, since bed bugs cannot transmit diseases, these bites are safe, but highly annoying and creepy as you know you are sharing your bed with blood-sucking insects.

    The bites are often arranged in lines. Bed Bugs have a tendency to bite… walk a ways… bite again… and so on, hence the linear pattern. Bed bugs also tend to target exposed skin, so, if you are wearing pajamas at night, they are far more likely to bite your exposed limbs, feet, neck, etc.

    Avoiding Bed Bugs

    Since bed bugs can hide in places like hotels, airplanes, movie theaters, etc. it is important to be wary when you visit any of these locations. Check hotel beds and drawers before using them and briefly inspect the sides of seats before sitting down.

    In your own home, the following can help avoid a bed bug problem and prevent an existing one from becoming out of control:

    • Vacuum carefully and frequently
    • Reduce clutter
    • Use a mattress cover
    • Avoid using moving blankets
    • Inspect any pre-used furniture that you may purchase

    Once you have an infestation however, professional intervention is key! Our preferred method of choice to combat bed bugs is heat. Not only is this treatment ecofriendly, but it will kill both adult bed bugs and their eggs. The infected area is heated to at least 115°F (46°C). Once the area has reached this heightened temperature, it must be maintained for roughly 10 minutes, which is ample time for the little creepy crawlers to expire from exposure to the heat. Call us today for more information on how we can help you rid your home of these nasty bloodsuckers.

      Understanding the Seasons

      Weather has a profound effect on pest life cycle. Most pests, rodents and insects breed aggressively during spring and go through periods of hibernation during autumn and winter.

      When the weather slowly begins to heat up, pests start to get more active after having stayed dormant over the colder winter months.

      • Birds often start to find mates and start building their nests.
      • Moths which consumer leaves usually become active again.
      • Flies often emerge from their winter hibernation places and start to breed and spread out.
      • Squirrels also spend the winter in hibernation. When spring approaches these creatures start looking for a new home. This is usually the time when they make their way into lofts and other spaces.

      Summer is arguably the best season for pests. It is the time when they are in full swing and breed as rapidly as they can. Wasps are one of the most common summer pests followed by flies and rodents. Many a summer picnics and BBQs have been ruined by the ‘home invasion’ of these pests.

      • Wasps build their nesting grounds and lay their eggs during this time. Although the creatures are not directly harmful, they can be very aggressive and territorial at this time of the year, because they’re at their strongest.
      • The number of fleas also multiplies. Since pets spend more time outdoors during summer, they are more likely to bring the pests back indoors with them.
      • Bees are also more active during summer as they go out to gather nectar. Many times, homeowners find a new beehive in their garden and require pest control to take care of it. Because of their sting, bees are more dangerous than some of the other pests and you should call our professional service to get rid of them.
      • Moths and flies usually start to multiply significantly during summer.
      • Ants begin to swarm to find new mates and start new colonies during summer.
      • Cockroaches become very noticeable in the summer, especially in the kitchen and toilets. This is due to the hotter temperatures and stronger smells.
      • Bedbugs are also very active in the summer.

      Autumn is the month when things start to get cooler. The number of pests starts to dwindle as they begin to slow down their breeding activities.

      • Wasps start becoming dozy and docile. You may find them buzzing around occasionally as if they are drunk. This is usually the end-time for their life.
      • Spiders in particular are more active at this time of the year.
      • Squirrels will gather their food and start to look for shelter.
      • The second breeding phase for flies begins. These pests remain active during the season.
      • Rodents also become more active. Due to the approaching cold, rodents usually find shelter inside homes in the loft or inside walls.

      The coldest months are when pests seek out warmth and shelter. You will find a number of insects especially rodents and lizards make their way inside your home.

      • Spiders come into our homes to escape the web-destroying frosts.
      • Rodents move indoors to escape the cold, increasing infestations.
      • In many cases, homeowners find squirrels nesting in lofts when they go to get their Christmas decorations.
