Lethbridge Bed Bugs Removal Service
Bedbugs are small, oval-shaped insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. Adult bedbugs typically measure about 4 to 5 millimeters in length and are reddish-brown in color. They are nocturnal creatures, hiding during the day in cracks, crevices, and seams of furniture, especially around bed frames, mattresses, and upholstery. Bedbugs do not fly but can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings.
Bedbugs are prolific breeders, with females laying up to 5 eggs per day. Eggs are tiny, white, and sticky, often placed in hidden locations. The eggs hatch into nymphs, which go through five stages before reaching adulthood. Nymphs require a blood meal at each stage to grow, and it typically takes about 5 to 6 weeks for them to mature into adults.
Their bites are often painless initially, but they can cause red, itchy welts on the skin. Bedbugs are resilient, able to survive without a meal for several months, making infestations difficult to control.
Lethbridge Bed Bugs Removal
Bed bugs are easily spread through luggage, bags, and clothing, often hitching a ride from hotels, dorms, or public transport. In homes, these pests can be difficult to spot. They typically hide in mattresses, behind electrical outlets, in picture frames, under baseboards, and even beneath wallpaper, especially in bedrooms.
Although bed bugs do not transmit diseases, their presence can be unsettling. Their bites often cause red, itchy welts, leaving people with discomfort and anxiety. A bed bug infestation can also result in difficulty sleeping. These pests are flat and oval-shaped, with a reddish-brown to mahogany color. They remain flat until they feed, at which point they become engorged after taking a blood meal from humans.
