Milwaukee Bed Bug Infestations
Milwaukee Bed Bug Infestations
Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed off of blood exclusively. The common bed bug happens to be quite fond of human blood.
Bed bugs have been feeding on humans for thousands of years. However, since 1995 there has been a dramatic increase in bed bug infestations, and the problem is the worst it has been in years. The city of Milwaukee has suffered a 53% increase in bed bug complaints.
Once an infestation starts, bed bugs are nearly impossible to exterminate without professional help. For residents and business owners in the Milwaukee area, A-Landlords is here to help.
Bed Bugs in Your Milwaukee Home
There are some common signs to look for when determining if your home has been infested. The first, most obvious sign will be bed bug bites. Small, itchy red spots, typically on the hands, face, and/or arms. If you have bites matching this description, it means you have unwillingly fed a family of bed bugs.
Other signs are small dark stains on upholstered furniture or mattresses, the presence of small white bed bug eggs, and live bed bugs. Adult bed bugs are dark brown in color and about the size of an apple seed. They are nocturnal feeders, so they are most often spotted at night. Infestations tend to peak during the warm summer months.
Bed Bugs in Your Milwaukee Business
Nothing can tarnish the reputation of a business like news of a bed bug infestation. A client or employee may unknowingly pick up bed bugs on a business trip, then transfer them to their car and home. With quick action, the pest problem can be wiped out before spiraling out of control.
The best way to decrease your risk of spreading bed bugs is to wash your bedsheets in the hottest water available, and for the longest wash cycle. Frequent vacuuming of infested spaces, diligent cleaning, and decluttering of your home or business all help. For best results, though, you need a professional exterminator. If you think there is a bed bug problem in your business, contact A-Landlords today.
