“Sleep tight and don’t let the bugs bite.”  But with a bed infested with pesky little bed bugs , this might just not be an option for you!

Your nights are spent tossing and turning and itching, and the days bring fatigue and drowsiness and let’s not forget itchy bumps and scratches.

These bed bug infestations don’t just suck on your blood and cause bites, but they could impact your health and lead to medical conditions, such as anemia.  A bed bug infestation can cause stress and constant fear of something crawling all over you. 

An immediate bed bug treatment is the only way to get rid of these blood sucking insects and the fear caused by them. 

In this blog, we’ll ease your fears by briefing you about bed bugs and how you can keep yourself safe from them. 

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, blood sucking parasites. They survive by feeding off of human and animal blood. They’re reddish brown and travel by latching themselves onto clothes; furniture, etc. 

 

It’s one of the most common infestations, with statistics showing that 1 in every 5 households report bed bug infestations every year. It was also found that during the rise of the pandemic in 2020, bed bug cases were reported in all the 50 states.

What Are Bed Bugs Attracted to?

Bed bugs survive on the blood of warm-blooded creatures, which is why they are so attracted to you. Here are some things that bed bugs are attracted to:

  1.      Carbon Dioxide

As mentioned above, bed bugs are attracted to humans, one of the reasons being we exhale carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide serves as an indicator and signifies a potential prey for these pesky little creatures. Bed bugs attack more in the night because the carbon dioxide concentration is highest when we’re asleep.

  1.      Body Warmth

Another factor that attracts bed bugs toward us is our warmth. Especially at night, our body radiates warmth despite the chill of the Air Conditioner.

  1. Dirty Laundry and Clothes

Our soiled clothes feature a distinct human odor that’s just triggers the host-seeking behavior in bed bugs. This is also one of the reasons as to why bed bugs latch themselves onto our clothes and are easily transmitted from place to place.

Despite all the precautions and preventions you can take, the possibility of getting rid of these annoying pests is slim. Therefore, you will need bed bug treatment or pest control services . Contact the experts in Columbus, Xterminator Pest Control for licensed bed bug treatment at (614) 935-3973
