Bed Bug Facts & Control

Bed bugs are small, elusive, and incredibly difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. If you're waking up with itchy bites or spotting blood stains on your sheets, it's time to act. United Pest Control offers discreet and effective solutions to stop infestations fast.

What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?

Adult bed bugs are small, reddish-brown, and about the size of an apple seed. They have flat, oval bodies and don't fly, but they can move quickly across floors, walls, and ceilings. After feeding, their bodies swell and turn darker red.

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

• Red, itchy welts: Often in a line or cluster, typically on arms, neck, or legs.
• Blood spots: Small reddish stains on sheets or pillowcases.
• Dark fecal marks: Found along mattress seams, furniture edges, and walls.
• Musty odor: A sweet, unpleasant smell may be present in heavily infested areas.

Why Bed Bugs Are Hard to Eliminate

Bed bugs can survive for months without feeding and are resistant to many store-bought treatments. DIY sprays often scatter the infestation, making it worse. Eggs are especially difficult to destroy without targeted heat and chemical applications.
