Let’s Face It: Nobody Wants Roommates Who Don’t Pay Rent—Especially If They Bite
You’re lying in bed, drifting off to sleep… until you feel that all-too-familiar itch. Cue the late-night Googling: “What do bed bug bites look like?” or “Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?” Congratulations—you’ve entered the wonderful world of bed bug paranoia. But not all infestations are the same.
At ECO Bed Bug, we specialize exclusively in bed bugs, and we’ve seen it all. So let’s break down the different levels of infestation—from light sprinkling to full-blown horror show—and what you should do at each stage.
You found one bug, maybe two. There are some tiny droppings near your bedframe, but you’re not waking up every morning scratching your arms off. Lucky you.
Your Move: A quick bio-fungicide spray and a thorough inspection could do the trick. Schedule it before they start inviting friends over.
You’re seeing signs more regularly—blood smears, clusters of bites, and maybe a bug or two crawling around at night. You’ve probably started avoiding your bedroom (as if the couch is safer).
Your Move: Act fast. This calls for a multi-room treatment—and maybe even a canine inspection if you’re unsure how far they’ve spread.
It’s not just your bed anymore—there’s a trail of bugs, fecal stains, and eggs leading into other rooms. You feel like you’re living in a horror movie (and the bugs are multiplying).
Your Move: Call in the cavalry. A full-scale, multi-pronged extermination plan is the only way to reclaim your home from these uninvited guests.
They’re everywhere. You can smell them. You can see them… during the day. When they no longer feel the need to hide, you’ve officially reached code red.
Your Move: Full-house heat treatment. Immediate inspection of adjacent units if you’re in a shared dwelling. Ongoing monitoring and a long-term prevention plan are non-negotiable.
Let’s keep it real—bed bugs are survivors. Most over-the-counter sprays don’t reach where they hide (think inside electrical outlets, wall cracks, or under carpeting). And bug bombs? They just push them deeper into your walls.
If you’re seeing activity, don’t waste time or money experimenting. The longer you wait, the more expensive the solution.
– Use mattress encasements and bed bug interceptors
– Keep bedrooms clutter-free to limit hiding spots
– Avoid bringing home used furniture unless it’s been inspected
– Be cautious with shared laundry facilities
– Inspect luggage after traveling
