People Call Them Bed Bugs
January 4, 2019
People call them bed bugs. The name makes people think they only infest beds.
However, we see bed bugs everywhere. Of course, we see them most often in beds, couches, and chairs. These are places we sit or lay still which allows the bugs time to feed. We also see them in unusual places around the home like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outside on the front porch, and climbing up exterior walls. They won’t live long outside because other insects will eat them.
So, how do they get in my bed? They don’t just appear one day! These bugs hitch hike or walk through the unusual places in search of a host (You and your family). Remember they are an insect that needs to feed to survive.
It’s interesting how many people discover bed bugs in their home and say “I know where they came from”. In reality the introduction of a bed bug could have come from anywhere. They are hitchhikers, so you may have picked one up while you were out in public. They are often found in cars, buses, airplanes, restaurants, schools, doctors offices, hospitals, day care centers, your work, summer camps, and hotels. Maybe someone brought one to you when they visited. It’s hard to say.
Regardless, be aware that they are everywhere — especially in the Baltimore and Harrisburg area. If you see bed bugs call Total Shield Bed Bug Treatments at 717-478-HEAT.
Don’t take our word for it
Very professional run business. It has been 5 or 6 months since Bill did the extermination and not a single bug since then. I called him and the very next morning he was on site early. He took total control of everything. We were able to be back in the house that evening. I am a total believer in heat treats now that I saw all the steps he takes to get rid of the bed bugs. Heat treat is the only way to go if you want to know for sure they are all dead. Bill the owner will explain to you every step that he takes to assure you understand what will be done. Bill and his company is very highly recommended by me. I give him a 10+ out of 10.
