Treatment for Bed Bugs Bites in Englewood Cliffs, NJ

Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on human blood. They hide in dark places close to where humans sleep and usually crawl out to feed while people are fast asleep.

Bed bugs can be a problem in the cleanest of homes. These insects need only human blood to survive, so having an immaculate home will not keep them away. And it’s easy to bring bedbugs home. They can crawl into luggage, clothing, and even furniture, unnoticed.

Once inside your home, bed bugs will find a hiding place. Favorite hiding places include a mattress, box spring, headboard, couch, and tiny cracks and crevices. You rarely see bed bugs during the day.

Having bed bugs can cause a great deal of anxiety and some restless nights. Most people want to get rid of bed bugs as soon as possible, so they buy bug sprays and foggers. These will not get rid of bed bugs.

Leaving your home for a few weeks will not get rid of bed bugs. Although these insects need human blood to survive, they can live for a year or longer without blood. During this time, they remain in hiding.

Getting rid of bed bugs can be difficult. Most people need the help of a pest-control company. Make sure the company has experience eliminating bed bugs. Several treatments may be necessary to get rid of bed bugs completely. You also will need to follow the guidelines that your pest-management professional recommends.
