Bed Bug Identification & Treatment 

Bed Bugs are blood-sucking insects that are very widespread in the US. Blood meals are necessary for their growth and reproduction. That is why they become established in places where they will easily and frequently have a blood meal. If you suspect you have bed bugs, look for indicators and call Patton Termite & Pest Control immediately.

Bed bugs are small, wingless bugs that are similar in size and shape to an apple seed when fully developed. In younger stages, they can be smaller and lighter in color. Otherwise, they range from brown to a dark brownish red. Sometimes people confuse bed bugs with ticks, but ticks won’t infest your home.

Bed Bug Eggs & Evidence

Bed Bug eggs are often found clustered together in the seams, cracks and crevices of furniture. They look similar to, although much smaller than, a grain of rice. Bed bugs often leave behind evidence of their activity through fecal spotting on furniture. Staining may also occur when the bugs are smashed. 

Patton Termite & Pest Control’s in-house entomologists develop comprehensive plans for treatment. Emergency service is available on nights and weekends. Regularly scheduled pest control in and around your property is important for keeping bed bugs at bay long term.
