When Should I Call a Professional to Remove Bed Bugs?

Having tiny insects bite and feed on you while you sleep invokes disgust. Even if these insects are not altogether deadly, the idea is disturbing. Bed bugs are undesired little pests that can infest your bedding or mattresses. These small, round insects are active at night, and they will feast on you before scuddling away to their little hiding places. Those with bed bugs will wake up with an itchy rash where they were bitten.

Other signs of a bed bug infestation can include bloodstains on your sheets or bedding, a distinct musty odor that the insects excrete, or signs of shed skins or shells from the insects. A bed bug infestation can disrupt anyone’s life, and it can cause families to destroy expensive bedding, sheets, or even their mattresses to solve the problem.

Pied Piper Pest Control is here to serve the population of Anchorage with pests like bed bugs. While we highly encourage calling us to help you with your bed bug problem, here are some tips and tricks you can try.

Best Ways to Get Rid of Bed Bugs

There are some methods that you can use to get rid of a bed bug infestation in your home. The first is to wash any bedding, sheets, and blankets thoroughly. Even wash the stuffed animals that you may suspect are infested. Then dry these items on your hottest dryer setting to eliminate any surviving bed bugs from the wash cycle. Washing and drying these items should be your first step in removing bed bugs from your home.

While the bedding is being washed and dried, you should thoroughly vacuum the infested room, including the mattress and floors, to pick up any excrement, shells, or other remains of the pests. Bed bugs are truly an infestation, and thorough cleaning has to eradicate them. However, washing and vacuuming the suspected areas may not be good enough to fix the problem.

Bed bugs can infest cracks in the walls, get inside mattresses, and flee to other hard-to-reach places. Unfortunately, if you want to get rid of a bed bug infestation, your mattress may need to be replaced, and your walls may need to be patched up. And in the end, after you try all of these methods, you may still find yourself calling professionals like us here at Pied Piper Pest Control to come and help with the problem.
