Bed bugs are adept hitchhikers, quickly spreading from infested areas to new locations via luggage, clothing, furniture, and other items. They often originate from places with high turnover, such as hotels, hostels, and apartment complexes, where they move between rooms or units. Lack of cleanliness is not a direct cause, as bedbugs are attracted to the carbon dioxide humans exhale, not dirt. They can also spread through adjacent spaces by crawling through small crevices and cracks in walls or floors. The increase in international travel and the use of second-hand furniture have contributed to the rise in bedbug infestations globally.
To prevent bedbug infestations permanently, consider implementing the following measures:
These proactive steps can significantly reduce the risk of bedbug infestations and provide peace of mind.
A Packtite and Heat Chamber treatment is a treatment that involves putting your belongings in a Packtite or Heat Chamber in order to kill any bed bugs that may be present. This is a great option for people who are moving out of an infested area, as it will prevent the bed bugs from following you back home. If you’re concerned about bed bugs, contact Birch Fumigator.
Bed bugs commonly roam mattresses, bed frames, furniture, carpets, and other hiding spots. They also have the ability to travel from room to room by crawling through any cracks present in walls or entryways.
To prepare for a bed bug dog inspection, it is essential to eliminate all sources of strong smell from the location ahead of time. This includes avoiding lighting candles or incense for 12 hours before your appointment. If you have any concerns about preparations, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Yes, there are methods and substances that can kill bed bugs nearly instantly or within a very short time frame. Here are a few:
It’s important to note that while these methods can kill bed bugs on contact or within a short time frame, addressing a full-blown infestation often requires a combination of treatments and a more comprehensive approach. Always take safety precautions when using any treatment, and when in doubt, consult with a pest control professional.
Bed bugs can indeed spread through clothes. These pests are expert hitchhikers, easily clinging onto garments when someone is in an infested area. When these infested clothes are transported to new locations, bed bugs can migrate and establish themselves in new surroundings. For instance, if a person visits an infested hotel room and bed bugs latch onto their clothing, they can unknowingly transport these bugs to their home. To prevent this spread, it’s recommended to wash suspected clothes in hot water and dry on high heat, as heat effectively kills bed bugs and their eggs.
Heat treatment for bed bugs works by killing the bed bugs and their eggs with heat. The heaters raise the temperature of the ambient room to about 49° – 57°C (120° – 135°F), which stops bed bugs in their tracks.
