Three Signs You May Have Bed Bugs

Do you think it’s possible that you could have a good night...or sleep tight...if there is even the tiniest chance that a bed bug could bite?
We didn’t think so.
Bed Bugs are becoming an epidemic in North America. Increased travel and tighter pesticide regulations are some of the reasons why the spread of bed bugs are causing headaches for residents, and property owners.
There are three signs to look for concerning bed bugs that should prompt you to take action immediately:
Small red bites on your body that itch and you can’t explain.
Bed bugs usually bite on your neck, arms, shoulders, legs and ankles. They usually bite in a straight line, so that’s a sign that the bites are from bed bugs.  Even for doctors it can be hard to determine if bites are from bed bugs until a pest-control specialist thoroughly examines your home.
You see actual bed bugs or signs of them.
If you spot a bed bug you have a problem. Adult bed bugs are usually light brown to reddish brown, 4 to 5 millimetres long and 1.5-3 millimetres wide. They are light brown to reddish brown and oval. Tiny white eggs, dark liquid feces spots, and discarded shells are also visible evidence of bed bugs. Even if you see bed bugs or signs of them, the extent of the infestation and the locations of their hidden nests can be hard to pinpoint. Call us at 905-390-1809 and we can help.
You smell the scent of rotten raspberries.
This unpleasant odour often accompanies bed bug infestations.
