Bed Bugs
Identify the Unknown Threat
Are you bit by something you can’t see while you try to sleep? If you said yes, your home might be infested by bed bugs. Earl's Pest Control in San Jose, CA, can identify these pests. Not all bites people get are related to bed bugs, so misdiagnoses often occur. These pests are incredibly frustrating and uncomfortable but can lead to some severe issues for you and your home. Bed bugs typically appear at night and feed off your blood. During the day, they hide throughout your home, including walls, floors, and curtains. You can take comfort in knowing our team is trained to identify these pests and remove them from your home.
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
You may be wondering just how dangerous a bed bug infestation may be. Bed bugs are known to spread disease. They can be annoying because they cause itching and a lack of sleep. A bed bug bite affects each person separately, from no physical signs and tiny bite marks to a severe allergic reaction. Besides calling our professional team, there are other ways to help identify an infestation. Look for bed bug exoskeletons, bugs in the fold of your mattress and sheets, and a sweet, musty odor. Those are general signs of bed bugs in your home.
Handling the Infestation
Our technicians follow a strict regimen when handling a bed bug infestation. Eliminating bed bugs requires your cooperation in the preparation and our treatments.
