BedBug Treatment
Bedbugs may enter your home undetected through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches, and other items. Their flattened bodies make it possible for them to fit into tight spaces.
Bedbugs are active mainly at night and usually bite people while they are sleeping. They feed by piercing skin and withdrawing blood through an elongated beak.
The bugs feed from three to ten minutes to become engorged and then crawl away unnoticed. They cause painful bites, skin rashes, and sleepless nights.
