Bed bugs are more than a nuisance
They’re a persistent problem that can turn your home into a nightmare. These tiny pests don’t discriminate and can infest any home, no matter how clean. If you’ve noticed itchy bites, small reddish stains on your sheets, or tiny bugs hiding in your mattress seams, you might be dealing with bed bugs.
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers. They latch onto luggage, clothing, and furniture, making travel and second-hand purchases common ways they spread. In Shreveport, where hospitality and tourism are part of the local culture, it’s easy to bring them home from hotels, public spaces, or even a neighbor’s house. Once inside, they multiply quickly and hide in cracks, crevices, and furniture seams, making them difficult to eliminate without professional help.
Signs you have a bed bug infestation in your Shreveport home or business
If you’re unsure whether bed bugs are infesting your Shreveport home or business, here are a few telltale signs:
- Bites: Small, itchy, red welts often appearing in clusters or a line.
- Bloodstains on bedding: Tiny reddish spots from crushed bugs.
- Dark spots on mattresses or furniture: Fecal droppings from bed bugs.
- Musty odor: A strong, unpleasant scent from large infestations.
- Shed skins or eggs: Found near bed frames, furniture joints, or baseboards.
Why DIY bed bug control doesn't work
While store-bought sprays and home remedies might seem like a quick fix, they rarely eliminate bed bugs completely. These pests are excellent at hiding and can go weeks without feeding, meaning they can outlast most DIY treatments. Over-the-counter pesticides often fail to reach hidden bed bug eggs, allowing the infestation to return stronger than before.
