Bed Bugs

More About Bedbugs

Residents of Portland should know that bedbugs are ectoparasites because they feed primarily on blood. Although they’ll feed on animals, they like human blood. They’re called bedbugs because they’re going to hide in your bed. Once they’ve found a way to sneak into your home, they’re going to take shelter in your mattress, furniture, and bed frame. When the lights go out and you go to sleep, the 3/16th-inch bugs will emerge and consume your blood.

Why Are Bedbugs Living In My Home?

Unfortunately, a handful of problems could lead to your home being infested with bedbugs. First and foremost, you have to realize that staying at a motel could be very risky. When you stay at a motel, you may encounter bedbugs. If so, the bugs may climb inside of your luggage or hide in your clothes. When you go back home, the bedbugs will go with you and they’ll infest your home. You can also pick up bedbugs when you travel on public transportation businesses.

Some homeowners experience infestations after purchasing used furniture and clothes. Bedbugs might be hiding on these items and you might bring them home with you. If you have a neighbor who is dealing with a bedbug infestation, those bedbugs may travel from your neighbor’s house to your house. You never know. Sadly, it is hard to prevent bedbugs from entering your home.

Health Risks Linked To Bedbugs

You’re likely worried about bedbugs making you sick. Is this possible? Are bedbugs dangerous? Can they make you sick? Although bedbugs can wreck your life, they’re not dangerous. When it comes to bedbugs, you have to worry about them destroying your home and making it impossible for you to sleep. A bite could create problems, but it likely won’t make you ill. The bedbug’s saliva may lead to an itchy, red welt though.
