How to detect the presence of bed bugs at home
To identify the presence of bed bugs in your home, you should take into account some signs, according to Orkin herself:
- bite marks: bites, generally aligned and similar to those of mosquitoes, are one of the first signs.
- Stains on beds: the appearance of red or dark spots on beds can signal the presence of bed bugs
- Insect remains: the presence of remains of the insect in different stages of development.
- Musty smell: In infested areas, a musty odor may occur.
Various factors contribute to the proliferation of these insects. The increase in temperatures, especially in temperate zones, has favored its development and reproduction. Furthermore, the resistance to chemical products used for their control and the increase in people’s mobility, which facilitates the transfer of bed bugs in luggage, make it a multifactorial problem.
