Why Property Owners Should Consult Bed Bug Dog New England Handlers

By Anita Ortega


Proper and effective treatment is needed when you are exterminating bedbugs in premises. Although these pests had disappeared for decades, there are seemingly an increasing number of infestations. Premises owners need to put in place proactive measures to eradicate these parasites. You can begin the process of getting rid of bedbugs by consulting bed bug dog New England handlers to identify the surfaces, which are infested with these pests.

Although bedbugs are not known to cause or transmit disease-causing microbes, on the other hand, their bites are quite uncomfortable. Some people react to the bites severely by developing serious rashes. The rashes can also be accompanied by itching, which exposes your skin to secondary infection. When you scrub the itching skin, you are likely to open it and expose the body to bacterial infection.

The physical signs of bedbug bites can resemble those of other insects like mosquitoes, and it is recommended that a thorough inspection be performed prior to carrying out treatments. However, because these bugs hide in hard to reach areas such as crevices, wall joints, wooden furniture joints, and other hidden locations, it is not easy to find them. Moreover, the parasites are active at night when many people are asleep meaning that they may not be seen easily.

Since bedbugs stay close to their feeding hosts, you should look in areas, which are close to your bed including the headboards, bed frames, and carpet edges. Other areas you can concentrate on include behind wall pictures, loose wallpapers, cracks on walls, doors, and window casings. It may not be easy to see live bugs but these signs can be a strong indication of presence of the parasites.

In addition, if the infested areas are less and you treat an entire premise, it can also be costly. The canines are known to provide accurate results of the areas invaded meaning that you concentrate on surfaces, which are affected. This is cost effective if you are treating large properties such as hotel rooms.

Travelers who spend their nights in hotel rooms may consider inspecting their premises occasionally. Even the most classy and trendy hotels can be infested with bedbugs. These bugs do not just infest dirty rooms, even the most clean and tidy areas can harbor the pests. When in the rooms, bugs may enter your briefcase or suitcases. The clothes you use when in the hotels may also carry the eggs and live bugs to your home.

Different methods are applied when inspecting premises of bedbugs, but not all procedures are effective. The infestations by bedbugs are not obvious to detect. You have to carry out thorough inspection of premises to determine if they are infested. These parasites will hide in areas, which you cannot access easily such as in crevices and wall joints. They also hide in areas such as mattress seams, pillow cases, furniture joints, headboards, and box springs.

Visual inspections may not provide effective and accurate results like canine inspections. When you use canines to detect presence of bedbugs, you get more precise and accurate results. The results you get will help you use the right targeted treatment. Since treating affected areas can be costly, you need to use a reliable form of inspection, which will identify all the affected such as the services of bedbug detection dog handlers.
