Does Huntsville Alabama Have Bed Bugs?
Yes!! Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are a very common issue in Huntsville, Alabama. These pests can be picked up after traveling, riding public transportation, visiting hospitals, or even going to the movies. Bed bugs will attach to clothing and luggage, making it easy for them to spread from one location to another. These reddish-brown insects feed on the blood of humans and animals, typically during the night. These nocturnal pests will hide in cracks and crevices, including mattress seams, bed frames, and furniture. Luckily they do not transmit disease, but they cause significant discomfort, stress, and sleep disruption.
Bed Bug Inspection Huntsville AL
We do FREE BED BUG INSPECTIONS. Before beginning treatment, a FREE INSPECTION is conducted to confirm the presence of bed bugs. Here’s a look at our step-by-step bed bug inspection process.
1. Mattress Inspection
We start by inspecting the mattress, as it’s one of the most common areas for bed bugs to hide. First, we remove all the bedding, including sheets, blankets, and pillows. Starting at the top seam around the mattress, we carefully lift it to check for bed bugs hiding deep within. Next, we inspect all the handles, tags, and the bottom seam of the mattress. After examining the top and sides, we flip the mattress to inspect the underside. Bed bugs favor this area because it’s constantly dark and it allows them to climb over the sheets to feed during the night. We carefully check around the edges of the bottom seam for any signs of bed bugs.
2. Box Spring Inspection
After thoroughly inspecting the mattress, we move on to the box spring. First, we remove the mattress and examine the box spring’s sides, focusing on any tags, edges, and seams. Then, we flip the box spring to inspect the bottom. The second most common place to find bed bugs is the bottom edge of the box spring, where the cloth is stapled to the wood. They frequently lay eggs around these staples, so each staple is checked individually. Bed bugs also hide between the cloth and wood so carefully lift the small pieces of cloth near the staples. Also if the box spring has an open bottom (with no cloth covering), make sure to inspect all interior springs for signs of bed bugs.
3. Bed Frame and Headboard Inspection
We start our inspection at the headboard because bed bugs often nest in the edges and crevices of the bed frame. We inspect both the front and back of the headboard carefully examining all edges and cracks from top to bottom. We also focus on the connection point where the headboard meets the side rails, as this small gap is a common hiding spot for bed bugs. Next, we inspect the side rails, thoroughly examining both the top and underside. We also check the slats, flipping them over to inspect each screw hole to ensure there are no hidden bed bugs. Lastly, we inspect both the front and back of the footboard and the connection points between the side rails and footboard.
4. Furniture Inspection
Bed bugs often hide in furniture where people spend a lot of time, such as chairs, couches, dressers, and recliners. As part of our inspection, we thoroughly examine all furniture for signs of bed bugs. For chairs and couches, we start by checking the gaps between cushions, then we remove the seat cushions to inspect the area underneath. We also inspect the gap where the armrest meets the back, as this is a common nesting spot. Next, we inspect the backside of the furniture. We then flip the piece of furniture over to check the underside for any signs of bed bugs. For recliners, we also extend the footrest to inspect it fully. Dressers are another common hiding place, so we remove all drawers to check behind and beneath each one for potential bed bug activity.
Our Bed Bug Treatment Service
Our bed bug treatment combines thorough vacuuming with an organic, non-chemical environmentally friendly treatment that provides a safe and lasting solution. We start by vacuuming and removing all visible bed bugs to deliver immediate results. Next, we apply a fungal treatment to common bed bug hiding spots, killing both hidden bed bugs and their eggs. This approach provides long-term protection and keeps bed bugs away for good.
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Are you concerned you may have bed bugs in your Huntsville home, here are some things you can look for to determine if you have bed bugs. Noticing any of the signs below can be a clear indication of a bed bug infestation in your Huntsville home. It is essential to contact a professional exterminator promptly to prevent the infestation from worsening.
Bed Bug Bites
Bed bugs rely on blood to survive, which means they need to bite you to feed. Their bites often appear in a line or zig-zag pattern as small, raised bumps with a dark red center. Bed bug bites appear red on light skin, while on darker skin, they may look purple or be harder to detect.
Bed Bug Appearance
Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown, oval-shaped, and about 5–7 mm long, resembling an apple seed. They have six legs, two antennae, and lack wings. Their small heads have black eyes and a pointed mouthpart called a proboscis which they use for feeding. Bed bugs have a distinctive U-shaped pronotum behind their head. Bed bug nymphs, or baby bed bugs, are much smaller than adults, measuring about 1-4 mm in size. They are typically a translucent orange or white color, making them difficult to spot. Nymphs can often go unnoticed, especially in bedding and furniture, due to their tiny size and lighter color.
Bed Bug Excrement
Bed bugs will leave droppings in areas such as beds, furniture, walls, and other areas where they are nesting. Bed bug poop appears as small black or dark brown marks the size of a pinhead. They are usually in clusters near where they are nesting.
Bed Bug Eggs
Bed bug eggs are often found in dark hidden areas, typically guarded by an adult bed bug. These eggs are very small, around 1mm in size, and pearly white in color. Common hiding spots include the underside of mattresses, within seams, or in small cracks and crevices. Eggs are often laid in clusters and may be glued to surfaces to keep them secure.
Bed Bug Shells
Bed bugs molt as they grow, shedding their outer exoskeleton like crabs shed their shells. These discarded exoskeletons are translucent and whitish, often found around mattresses, furniture, and other areas where bed bugs hide. Spotting these remnants can be a clear indicator of an infestation.
