Bedbugs, these little creatures that we all fear and which can make our lives hell... Here are the signs that are unmistakable when the invasion has started and we must act as quickly as possible.
Are you in doubt and afraid of having bedbugs at home, for example after bringing them back from vacation? By hearing about it everywhere, we can quickly become paranoid, especially when we know that these nocturnal parasites develop at breakneck speed and are very good at hiding in a mattress, a bed, but also a sofa. Very quickly, we find them everywhere at home.
First of all, you have to be able to recognize this ugly little beast and tell it apart from another harmless insect. Be aware that contrary to popular belief, bedbugs are indeed visible to the naked eye and easily recognizable. Remember that these are small oval insects, brown in color, which measure between 5 and 8 millimeters. They can easily be compared to lentils or apple seeds.
However, bed bugs are most active at night and it can be difficult to come face to face with them when making our bed. They are a real ordeal for people whose homes are infested. Bed bugs wisely settle in the nooks and crannies of your furniture or the seams of your mattress and wait for nightfall to come and bite you and feed on your blood while you sleep.
The result of a bed bug infestation can unfortunately also be seen on your body with small pimples that can itch! The solution, spot them as soon as they arrive at your home to avoid invasion, especially when you know that the only effective, but also very expensive, solution to eliminate them is to call in a professional.
All these clues can tip you off. Your home is most certainly infested and you will have to act quickly. If in doubt, contact a professional specializing in bed bugs. He will confirm the infestation or not and will suggest the most effective technique to get rid of it.
