That is the question that you may be asking yourself.

Bed bugs are usually the size of an apple seed (4 to 5 mm long), have a flat reddish-brown appearance and only feed off blood. If the conditions are cool bed bugs can survive up to a year without a meal!

It is important to keep an eye out for their normal hiding places. They are often found in mattress seams, sheets, furniture, behind baseboards, as well as electrical outlet plates. Bed bugs also love hotels because it is easy to travel from room to room and hide within visitors luggage. You can come into contact and pick bed bugs up in stores, gyms and offices. Once they come indoors, they can become difficult to contain without the help of your Spartanburg exterminator at Douglas Pest Control.
