At EnviroPest we understand that bed bugs have always been a persistent pest to humans and that they are one of the fasted growing insect pest problems in recent years. Not only are they infesting Denver area homes they are also appearing more frequently in commercial facilities such as hospitals, school dorms and nursing homes and especially hotels and motels in Denver and all of Colorado. EnviroPest also realizes how stressful it can be to have bed bugs in your home and the damaging effects that these nighttimes pests can have on a company’s reputation.
Bed bugs are cryptic in nature and only come out at night. This makes them very hard to detect and often several weeks or months can pass before you may notice a problem. Also people don’t always realize they have a problem because bed bug bites produce varying reactions ranging from no symptoms to mild itching to severe allergic reaction. Bed bug bites usually appear as small red welts that may or may not be noticeable.
Many believe that bed bugs are not visible to the naked eye and, while they are very small, it is possible to see them moving about. They are often found on mattresses and bed linens as well as bed frames, furniture, clothing, electronics and other personal items. It is important to also understand that bed bugs feed mainly on human blood during the nighttime hours but they do not solely infest bedrooms and will make their way to common areas as long as there is a suitable host for feeding. Because they are notorious travelers they are often found in businesses that experience frequent occupancy turnover such as hotels, motels, assisted living facilities as well as other commercial lodgings. They hitch rides on luggage and on a travelers themselves but can also enter homes on used clothing and furniture.
