Identifying a Bed Bug Problem

Bed bugs are small, elusive, and incredibly resilient, making them difficult to identify and control. They are experts at hiding in tiny crevices, such as mattress seams, box springs, bed frames, furniture joints, and even behind electrical outlets. Because they are primarily active at night, a significant infestation can develop before a live bug is ever seen.

Look for these common signs of a bed bug infestation:

  • Small, Itchy Bites: Often appearing in a line or cluster on skin that is exposed while sleeping, such as arms, shoulders, and legs.
  • Dark, Rusty Spots: These small stains on mattresses, sheets, or pillowcases are bed bug excrement.
  • Reddish Stains: Small smears of blood on bedding can occur if a bug is crushed after feeding.
  • Eggs and Casings: Tiny, pale-yellow eggs (about 1mm) or translucent, shed skins may be found in their hiding spots.
  • A Musty Odor: In cases of severe infestation, a sweet, musty odor may be present.

If you notice any of these signs, it is critical to act immediately. Bed bug populations grow quickly and become much harder to eliminate over time.

Our Bed Bug Eradication Process

At Aerex Pest Control, we take bed bug control extremely seriously. We know the stress they cause, and our process is designed to be thorough, effective, and safe, drawing on our 70+ years of experience protecting Chicago homes. We offer a pest-free guarantee for your peace of mind.

We are a fully bonded, insured, and A+ BBB-rated company. We are dedicated to solving your bed bug dilemma so you can feel comfortable in your home again.

The Risk of Ineffective Bed Bug Treatments

When faced with bed bugs, it is tempting to try DIY solutions, but these efforts often fail and can even be dangerous. Bed bugs are notoriously resistant to many over-the-counter pesticides, and their elusive nature makes them nearly impossible to eliminate without professional training.

Applying store-bought foggers or sprays can cause the bed bugs to scatter from their main hiding spots and move deeper into walls or adjacent rooms. This spreads the infestation and makes it significantly more difficult and costly to treat.

Furthermore, misusing chemical treatments can pose a health risk to your family and pets. Professional technicians are trained to apply products safely and precisely. An expert approach is the only way to ensure every bug and egg is eliminated, preventing a rebound infestation.
