Bed bugs are stubborn bugs that just won't go away on their own. Their tiny bodies can squeeze through some of the tightest crevices in your home. They are so good at hiding that unless you have a severe infestation, you may not even realize they are there until you start seeing bug bites all over your skin.

At Beeline Pest Control, our experienced Denver pest control technicians understand just how challenging it can be to eliminate a bed bug infestation. However, we have been dealing with these pesky bugs for over a decade, and we know the best way to eliminate them from your home and keep them away for good. 

How To Tell If Your Denver Home Has Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are tiny insects that vary in size. Baby bed bugs can be about the size of a peppercorn, and adult bed bugs are usually about the size of an apple seed. They have flat, round bodies that swell and become more elongated after they have taken a blood meal. They tend to reproduce rather quickly. If you see even just one bed bug in your home, chances are, there are several more hiding in your home somewhere.

Because they are so small, these bugs are easy to overlook. Some of the signs of bed bugs that you can look for instead include:

  • Rust-colored stains on your sheets and bedding
  • Dark spots on your bedding that are about the size of a period at the end of a sentence
  • Pale yellow skin casings
  • Small white  bed bug eggs or discarded eggshells

Another way to tell if you have bed bugs in your Denver home is to check your skin each day. Bed bugs tend to bite their victims at night while they are asleep. If you are waking up each morning to find a new set of bed bug bites on your skin, you definitely have bed bugs in your house. 

What Attracts Bed Bugs To Certain Homes?

There is a common misconception that suggests that bed bugs are attracted to filthy or unkempt homes. The truth is, there is not a certain type of home that bed bugs prefer. Because bed bugs eat a blood-only diet, they are attracted to people, not their homes.

Bed bugs are commonly found in a variety of public areas and will attach themselves to your clothing or some other object and hitch a ride back to your home. Almost 100 percent of the time, a person has a bed bug infestation because they unknowingly brought bed bugs into their home.

Why Bed Bugs Are Almost Impossible To Remove Using DIY Methods

Many do-it-yourself bed bug control solutions do not actually work when it comes to eliminating an existing bed bug infestation. In fact, some chemicals and treatments can actually cause your bed bug problem to become more severe.

If you spray chemicals or other types of treatments in your home, it could irritate the bed bugs and cause them to retreat further into their hiding spots. While there, they will continue to reproduce and add more bed bugs to the infestations.
