Should You Turn to a Bed Bug Exterminator Kitchener Service?

If your home is suffering from bed bug disturbance, should you find
recourse from a bed bug exterminator Kitchener service right away?
Or are you going to take on the DIY or do-it-yourself alternative
instead that are randomly strewn all over the web?

Bed bugs are nocturnal insects. They feed off on the lifeblood of
warm-blooded animals, and humans are not an exemption to that.
These small insects are found almost everywhere but their presence
in human homes can bring about unnecessary disturbance because
they prey on live human blood. In human homes, they can be found
in areas where people are taking a respite from the day which is the
bedroom and the living room. Aside from the bed itself, these
undesirable critters are also likely to be found on your home furnishings,
too. They may also harbor in wallpaper cracks and crevices, and even
on the tiniest of gaps between the window sill or ledge.  

Back in the day, we don’t qualify bed bugs as pests or dangerous
insects but over time and due to the nuisance concerns they are
creating for us, we came to identify them as such. Similar to all the
other pests that we know, they can be found in a random place which
we can describe as having poor sanitary conditions. Since bed bugs
come in minuscule sizes, they can be easily carried off elsewhere
without you even being aware that you have them in your luggage or
articles of clothing. A room that is heavily infested by bed bugs is
often said to have a unique effluvium of its own having semblance to
the smell of almond nuts, the smell of which may not be too enticing
to every one of us. Inspecting bed sheets and carefully checking out
every single item if there are any blood stain is another effective
alternative to identifying the presence of bed bugs in a house. However,
due to the natural brownish color of their bodies, it makes it somehow
difficult and tricky to find them. Their natural brownish color makes it
easy for them to blend with furniture and beddings with dark hues. It
is a perfect camouflage, so to speak.

If you are under the impression that hotels and similar establishments,
with their seeming topnotch standard for cleanliness and hygiene are
not bugged by bed bugs, then you are dead wrong.  As a matter of fact,
there are a few hotel establishments that you may come across with as
having rooms that are infested by bed bugs. But patrons usually don’t
have any clue about it. Some of them will even provide signages or warn
that a furnishing has been cleared off of bedbugs and thus are completely
bug-free. This sends an alarming signal that you should always be on
your guard with your belongings and not to haphazardly leave or drop
them just about anywhere. Doing so runs the risk of random bed bugs
latching themselves on your luggage, suitcase, or even on your clothing.
Even a single female bedbug that latched itself, say, on your shoes and
eventually carried them off with you on your way home can become a
full-blown infestation in your house in a matter of only a few weeks.
Therefore, you should always practice extra care when you are outdoors
to keep bedbugs from gaining any entry to your home.

With or without signage coming from your hotel administrators, it is
always recommended that you keep caution of yourself and your belongings.
But since you can only do so much in protecting yourself against these
undesirable blood-sucking insects, and chances are high that you may
still unknowingly carry them with you on your way home, you may resort
to coming with a number of preventive measures and still be able to save
yourself and household members from being bitten by bed bugs such as
vacuum cleaning your luggage, items of clothing, even your shoes. This
technique will not only remove dirt and debris from those items, but will
also effectively take out bed bugs and other similar pesky insects that
have successfully latched themselves on your pants, shoes, bag, or luggage.

Another effective alternative here is to wash your articles of clothing in
warm water and finally rinsing them as well in hot water. If in any case,
the vacuuming procedure left out a number of bed bugs still latching on
your pants, washing them off in hot water will render them to lose their
grip and die, and be washed off. Finally, if after the suggestions given
above do not work and you are certain that your home may still be
harboring bed bugs somewhere, your next best course of action to take
would be to enlist the help and services of a reputable pest management
company offering bed bug exterminator Kitchener services.
