Why Are Bed Bugs Hard to Kill in Broken Arrow, OK?

Why are bed bugs hard to kill?

Bed bugs are creepy, small and thin. They can hide deep in narrow cracks and crevices. They move quickly and can pass through much smaller openings or cracks than most people expect. They are most active at night and will travel as far as a 20-foot radius from their hiding places in one night to get a blood meal.

Bed bugs are very adaptable and will detect and often avoid chemical deposits such as cleaning agents. The adult bed bugs can live longer than a year without feeding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many bed bugs do I have if I see one?

Seeing one bedbug often means more are hiding nearby, though it can occasionally be a single stray brought in on luggage. Check mattress seams, headboards and baseboards with a flashlight. A professional inspection can tell you the size of the problem.

What kills 100% of bed bugs?

No single product kills every bedbug, because eggs, hidden bugs and insecticide-resistant populations survive many treatments. Heat treatment and combined professional methods with follow-up give the best results. Be wary of any claim of instant or 100 percent results.

Will I ever be free of bed bugs?

Yes. With a thorough treatment plan, follow-up inspections and prevention habits, most homes become bedbug free. Success depends on treating every infested area and preventing reintroduction from luggage or used items. It can take several weeks.

What time of year is worst for bed bugs?

Bedbugs are active year-round indoors, but infestations are often reported most in summer and early fall, when travel is at its peak. Warm temperatures also speed up their reproduction. Stay alert after trips.

How do you draw bed bugs out of hiding?

Bedbugs are drawn to body heat and carbon dioxide, so professionals use monitors, traps and thorough inspection to find them. Home tricks are unreliable and can scatter them. A trained technician knows their favorite hiding places.
