COMMERCIAL BED BUGS CONTROL SERVICES DISCLOSES THE NOTORIOUS BITTERS WHILE SLEEP

Bed bugs are efficient hitchhikers and are usually transported into dwellings on luggage, clothing, beds, furniture, and other items. This is a particular risk for hotels and apartments, where turnover of occupants is constant. Bed bugs are small and agile, escaping detection after crawling into suitcases, backpacks and belongings. Acquiring secondhand beds, couches and furniture is another way that the bugs are transported into buildings. Attention to clothing, shoes or wheelchairs.
Help can be on the way from a Pest Control Services company just by immediate notification.With Expert Pest management for bed bugs infestation for apartment dwellers. 
Controlling and preventing bedbugs has increased and thousands are reported to management. The Apartment owners recognize that this is a serious issue that affects the lives of its tenants in considerable way
Information is provided to help residents understand how to prevent and control the  bedbugs:
Adult bedbugs are typically a brownish-reddish color and 3/16 inches in diameter that look like a,small apple seed with legs.
Bedbugs are tiny insects that puncture human skin to feed on blood, not unlike mosquitos. Only come out to feed late at night when people are asleep. Favorite hiding and breeding places are the folds and crevices of mattresses and box springs.The pests hide in many tight, dark places, like baseboards, between couch cushions, under piles of clothing or even in the spaces between the corrugations of cardboard boxes.The bedbugs can live for many months without a meal.
As bed bugs grow they molt, shedding their skin five times before reaching maturity. A blood meal is needed between each successive molt. Adult females also must feed in order to lay eggs. Under favorable conditions (70-80°F), the bugs can mature fully in as little as a month, producing multiple generations per year. Cooler temperatures or limited access to blood prolong the development time. 
Bed bugs are very resilient. Nymphs and adults can persist months without feeding which is unusual for most insects. The ability to survive without a blood meal is longer at cooler temperatures  potentially up to a year or longer at 55°F or less. In temperature controlled buildings, a more typical duration is about 3 to 7 months. Consequently, it is usually impractical to leave buildings unoccupied in hopes of ‘starving out’ an infestation. When infested dwellings such as apartments are vacated, bed bugs often disperse to nearby units, or reduce their activity until the unit is reoccupied. 
Bed bugs are active mainly at night. During the daytime, prefering to hide close to where people sleep. Their flattened bodies enable them to fit into tiny crevices especially those associated with mattresses, box springs, bed frames and headboards. Bed bugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but do tend to congregate in habitual hiding places. Characteristically, these areas are marked by dark spotting and staining, which is the dried excrement of the bugs. Also present will be hatched and unhatched eggs, the tannish shed skins of maturing nymphs, and the bugs themselves. Another possible sign are rusty or reddish smears on bed sheets or mattresses from crushed engorged bed bugs. Although it’s often stated that bed bugs have a telltale odor, the smell is seldom evident except in extreme infestations and should not be relied upon for detection.
Bed bugs usually bite people at night while sleeping. Hungry bed bugs may also feed during the daytime, especially if this is when the occupant normally sleeps. Feeding by piercing the skin with an elongated beak through which blood is withdrawn . Engorgement of the bed bug takes roughly 4 to 12 minutes, but because the bite is painless, the person seldom realizes  being bitten. Bed bugs normally do not reside on people like head or body lice do; instead, immediately after feeding, bed bugs crawl to a secluded location to digest their meal. Symptoms after being bitten by bed bugs vary from person to person. Many develop an itchy red welt within a day or so of the bite. Others have little or no reaction. Sometimes the reaction is delayed days or even weeks after the actual bite occurs, which can make it difficult to determine where or when bites actually occurred. Studies conducted in bed bug-infested apartments suggest about 40 percent of people do not react even when bitten repeatedly over time, and there is still higher incidence of non-reactivity among the elderly. Unlike flea bites, which occur mainly around the lower legs and ankles, bed bugs feed on any skin exposed while sleeping (face, neck, shoulders, back, arms, legs, etc.). The welts and itching are often wrongly attributed to other causes, such as mosquitoes. For these reasons, infestations may go a long time unnoticed, and can become quite large before being detected. 
The likelihood of bed bugs increases if the affected individual has been traveling, or if they have acquired used beds or furnishings before symptoms started to appear. Bed bugs also are suspect  with itchy welts that did not have before going to sleep. It’s important to recognize, however, that not all bite-like reactions are due to bed bugs. Confirmation requires finding and identifying the bed bugs, shed skins, fecal spots, etc., which often requires the help of a professional pest control service.
Unlike cockroaches and flies that feed on filth, there is often no relationship between bed bugs and cleanliness. Since the bugs feed solely on blood, pristine dwellings can be as vulnerable to infestation as are places of squalor. That said, poverty and privation can lead to increased risk of bed bug problems, as can the inability to hire a professional exterminator.    
Some bed bug species are parasites of bats or birds, and may bite people if the wild hosts are no longer available. Although similar in overall appearance, the species of bed bugs that normally feed on bats, swallows, chimney swifts, pigeons or other wild hosts can be differentiated from those that prefer humans. Entomologists and knowledgeable pest managers can make this determination. If bat bugs or bird bugs are present, roosting and nesting sites should be the primary focus, and the animals should be removed and excluded from the building. 
Report bed bug activity to the property manager and cooperate with Pest Control treatments. Learning how to recognize bedbug activity and promptly calling for treatment is important for residents so that small numbers of bedbugs don’t expand into a bigger problem that is much harder to treat and can affect neighbors and the rest of the building. “Do it yourself” products or remedies are no replacement for the methods used by professional pest control services, and can just make matters worse by scattering rather than eliminating bedbugs.
Make sure the bed is raised off the ground, on a bed frame, for example. Eliminate the hiding places. Known favorite hiding and breeding places are in beds, but the bedbugs can also hide in many other tight, dark places behind furniture, between couch cushions, under piles of clothing or even in the spaces between the corrugations of cardboard boxes. Arrange the apartment to cut back on potential hiding places. The ways some people store possessions and arrange apartments can provide places for bedbugs to hide, especially in the compact spaces offered in most apartments. If items are piled high or there are areas that remain undisturbed for a long time, bedbugs can find the places it needs to multiply, out of reach of pest control treatments.
Bottom line is for apartment tenants to report bedbugs infestation immediately to the apartment manager. Notify AMPM Pest Control for professional services to be rendered.
