Bedbugs, one of the most annoying bugs has created a frenzy of panic. The uncontrollable and almost unviable problem when they surface in a location, whether in a home, apartment, store etc. you must be ready for war with these bugs. I mean "armed" with a microscope to scan area's and all furniture. Other supplies like a flashlight, clear tape even after treatments you must dedicate at least an hour a day to be sure they are not reoccurring. You have to work hard to get rid of them.

When the bed bug reaches maturity, it is reddish-brown in color with a flattened, oval appearance. They have microscopic hairs and give off a banded appearance and they do not have any wings. Some people believe that bed bugs are so small that they cannot be seen by the naked eye. This is not the case, as some adults reach length of 4 to 5 millimeters (which translates into 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch). The bed bugs size is comparable to that of an apple seed. Since bed bugs are extremely shy and wary of others, an infestation of this insect is quite hard to pinpoint

When inspecting you have to look closely in crevices and small holes in the walls and on the floor, check beds and linens. The sight of dried blood (referred to as fecal spots) may appear on the box spring, behind the headboard, as well as about the seams of a mattress. Finding bed bugs is very tedious, on the part of the searcher.

If you do have them, you should get a treatment done and take every measure to seal every crack and crevice you should use a non shrink silicone caulk either in clear or white depending on where you are using it. Seal all moldings on floors and around windows and any cracks where they can nest. You should put child safety clear caps in any unused wall plug outlets. Use wide sticky tape, 2 way tape at the base of chairs, beds and all furniture they will stick to it.

There are many kinds of treatments some professional and some you can try yourself but you do need to take action for things not to spiral out of control. Read and check for remedies and take a look at pictures so that you are familiar with the different sizes, shapes and signs that are left to identify if you do have them.
