How to Deal With When Bed Bugs Come Out
WouterWhen bed bugs come out, the best way to deal with them is to get rid of the infestation as soon as possible. The pests are not difficult to detect. They are brown with a red tint and can be the size of a pea or the tip of a pen. Often, they will appear flat and pill-shaped, while others will be round and flat.
Normally, bed bugs feed during the nighttime. You can detect them through the bites they leave. They are attracted to the warmth of human skin and carbon dioxide we exhale. During the daytime, they are less active and may not be visible to the naked eye. However, a thorough inspection is necessary to determine if you have a bed bug infestation.
Although bed bugs are nocturnal, they can come out during the day if they find food. They are most active between 1 am and 5 am. This is the time most humans are sleeping or awake. If they find a meal during the day, they are more likely to come out at night.
Blood stains can be a sign of a bedbug infestation. These stains are typically red but can turn brown once dried. The bugs need a blood meal in order to molt. You can find these stains on your bedding and upholstered furnishings. They will also shed their skins as they pass through the different stages of their life cycle.
