So, You Think You Have Bed Bugs In Hawaii?
10/31/13
Think you have bed bugs? Now is not the time to sit back and wait, because these pests will not leave your home on their own! Once they take hold in your property, getting rid of them requires a pest control professional, because they are very stubborn pests. Here are a few reasons why you must act now to get rid of a bed bug infestation in your Hawaii home:
Bed bugs procreate quickly. Female bed bugs can lay an egg a day and it only takes 10 days for these eggs to hatch. Once the egg hatches, it takes a few weeks for the bug to grow to full size, but through each stage of growth, it needs a blood meal to grow (which means it’s feeding on you while you sleep). A pair of bed bugs can turn into dozens of bed bugs in the course of a month or two and after that, as long as a blood meal is present, a population of these pests will grow exponentially. Honolulu exterminators can get rid of these pests quickly, eliminating bed bug eggs and the full grown bugs to completely remove the problem.
Bed bugs are excellent hiders. They have learned to find places in the home that are rarely touched; these places include:
-
Inside alarm clocks
-
Behind picture frames on the wall
-
Behind electrical outlet covers on the wall
-
In closets
-
In seams of clothing
These pests are so great at hiding that sometimes you don’t actually see the bugs themselves, you only see signs of their presence. Signs of bed bugs may include dark reddish-brown spots on bed linens (this is bed bug feces), shed bed bug skins and bed bug bites on your skin.
If you see signs of bed bugs, don’t ignore them. Bed bugs in Hawaii will continue to thrive inside your home as long as they are allowed to stay there.
