Did you know bed bugs can happen to anyone in any home? Unfortunately, this is the truth about this pest. Even the cleanest homes can experience a bed bug infestation due to how they spread.

Bed bugs are nocturnal parasites about the size and shape of an apple seed. Their flat, oval-shaped bodies are brownish-red but will be redder and swollen after taking a blood meal.

Professional bed bug control is often necessary because they can spread throughout a house, hiding in tiny crevices that can't be reached using store-bought sprays.

The Symptoms Of A Bed Bug Infestation In New Braunfels 

Clusters of small red bumps on the ankles, legs, arms, and neck might be from bed bugs. This is usually the first sign of a bed bug problem. You will most likely see rust-colored stains on your sheets and clothing if you are experiencing bites.

Other signs of a bed bug infestation include nymphs, eggs, and in severe cases, a foul odor. You should immediately seek expert bed bug control if you see any of these signs.

Where Do Bed Bugs In New Braunfels Come From?

Bed bug infestations usually start when someone accidentally carries in the pest. This pest is often brought from public places like schools, hospitals, theaters, restaurants, and public transportation. They can also find their way inside a home on second-hand items or travel from one residence to another in a multi-unit building. 

Once bed bugs get inside, they can reproduce quickly, with females laying over 200 eggs during their lifetime, which can be anywhere from two months to a year.

How To Prevent From Bringing Bed Bugs Into Your New Braunfels Home

Because bed bugs spread so quickly, you should take the proper precautions to help keep them out of your New Braunfels home: 

  • Keep bags and other belongings off the floor in public places like theaters, restaurants, hospitals, offices, schools, and transportation hubs.

  • Inspect yourself, your bags, and your kids before returning home from school and work.

  • If you are staying in a hotel or motel, you should inspect your room before putting your bags down. Always use a luggage rack, but make sure to check it over first as they tend to be bed bug hot spots.

  • You should use mattress and box spring covers and vacuum regularly in your home, especially around sleeping areas.

  • Try not to bring second-hand items into your home, but if you need to, make sure to inspect and clean them first.

Using these prevention tips will help to reduce the likelihood of an infestation occurring, but they may not keep them out completely. Because of this, you may need to contact experts for more effective bed bug control techniques.
