What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, flat, oval-shaped, brown insects about 4 to 5 millimeters long. They develop a reddish tint after they feed. Because they’re tiny, they hide in mattresses, bed frames, carpets, and clutter. The bugs reproduce through traumatic insemination, where the male stabs the female’s abdomen, then injects the sperm into the injury. The female lays at least 200 eggs that move through five nymph stages, molting between the stages. They live up to a year and need to eat every five days.

Signs That You Have Bed Bugs

If you have bed bugs, you’ll see them along the mattress seams or find them crawling in and out of the box springs. The easiest way to identify them is by their black or brown excrement stains on bedding and walls. You might also notice blood where they’ve been crushed. Since bed bugs molt five times, they also leave their egg shells and shed skins. Bed bugs also have a strong, musty odor. Unfortunately, people don’t realize they have bed bugs until they notice bites, welts, and bumps on their bodies.

Phenom’s Effective Bed Bug Approach

We offer a tested and effective approach. The first step is our free on-site inspection, where we look for signs of bed bugs in common places like bedding, furniture, upholstered chairs, and carpet. 

Our Frederick, MD bed bug treatment options include:

Chemical treatment

Chemical treatments kill bed bugs and flush them out of their hiding places. Unfortunately, some bed bugs are resistant to chemicals, so they move to other hiding places. Chemical treatments include sprays, bug bombs, pesticides, and insecticides that trap them in their hiding places. 

Heat Treatment

One of our most effective bed bug treatment options is heat treatment, where we expose them to high temperatures for 90 minutes or more. 

Steam Treatment

Steam treatments work faster than heat treatments. Bed bugs die within minutes when exposed to steam. 

Preventive Approaches

Our expert exterminators offer suggestions to prevent bed bugs from returning. We highly recommend regularly vacuuming your bedroom, removing clutter, putting encasements over your bedding, and cleaning your bedding in high temperatures.
