Bedbugs
Another nasty parasite, bed bugs can be very frustrating more than anything. Unlike most pests, they are not known to spread disease. Instead, they affect sleep and can cause, itching, irritation, and insomnia. Bed bugs can come from anywhere and bites can take up to two weeks to appear so you may not know that you have them until it’s too late.
Bed bug bites can also cause an allergic reaction, so if you’re experiencing excessive itching and scratching be sure to check your bed for signs of bed bugs.
If you see small red bite marks appearing inexplicably on your exposed skin, especially after you’ve traveled or stayed in a hotel, this is a sure sign that you may have a bed bug infestation. Check your mattress and sheets for any dead bedbugs or small deep brown-red smudges of bed bug feces.
A good night’s sleep is virtually impossible to have with a bed bug infestation. Make sure that you’re getting your rest in a clean, pest-free bed by calling Alabama Preferred Pest Control today.
