Bed bug services in Lagos - Lagos

Bed bugs are fierce predators adept at hiding, yet responsible for potential health hazards ranging from allergic symptoms to skin rashes. They tend to come out at night and hide during the day, making them very hard to find and even more difficult to eliminate.

Several methods are used to control and kill them and prevent repeated infestations.

Elimination Methods

Natural powders are currently being touted as a surefire way to get rid of the annoying creatures. The drawback is that they must walk through the powder for it to be effective.

Chemical treatments are the most traditional methods. Sprays, both commercially available brands and professional strength variations, tend to be most effective when combined with common sanitation and cleaning efforts.

Understanding These Pests

These small bloodsucking parasitic insects feed on human blood when other food sources are not readily available. All species live exclusively off the blood of warm-blooded mammals. They were nearly eradicated as pests by the early 1940s. However, the insects have increased in prevalence since the mid-1990s.

Their name comes from the insect’s habit of infesting areas where people sleep, especially mattresses. They are most active at night. This is when they feed on their host and have six life stages. Their life cycle ranges from 32 to 48 days. They need to feed during each stage of their lives.
