Bed Bugs in Central Arkansas
Bed bugs are a nationwide concern, present in every state. These nocturnal creatures prefer human hosts, but will also feed on birds and other mammals. They tend to hide in small cracks and crevices, making them difficult to detect and allowing them to live undisturbed for months without feeding. They are especially active at night, feeding on unsuspecting hosts. The lack of pain during their bites and their discrete nature makes early detection challenging.
Bed Bug Habitat
Bed bugs thrive in places where people rest for prolonged periods. They often hitch rides on items like luggage, furniture, and other personal belongings to spread from location to location. Common hiding spots include mattress seams, furniture crevices, and other snug environments that offer protection.
Bed Bug Behaviors, Threats, or Dangers
While bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause allergic reactions that may necessitate medical attention. Signs of an infestation include bite marks on the body that appear as small, swollen welts, often in a linear pattern, and tiny brownish specks on bedding. They often enter homes via used furniture or through interconnected structures like apartment buildings.
If a bed bug infestation is suspected, it is recommended to contact a professional bed bug exterminator.
