Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation in IL

You might already know you have a bed bug infestation, but here are a few of the most common signs experienced bed bug exterminators look for in Glen Ellyn Area. 

Bite Marks

Although bite marks from bed bugs aren’t often seen, some people experience hives or blistering at the bite site.

Fecal Spots

Fecal spots are seen as small, dark, sand-like droppings that occur in patches around and especially beneath nests.

Blood Smears

You may see blood smears on sheets and pillowcases.

Exoskeleton Shells

You may see the presence of their empty molted exoskeletons.

Nasty Odor

Bed bugs can be detected by their characteristic smell of rotting raspberries.

What You Need to Know About Bed Bugs Near Glen Ellyn Area

  • Bed bugs are most active while you sleep.
  • Bed bugs can also quickly spread to different rooms and even vehicles as they hitch a ride on a human host, clothing, or bedding.
  • Adult bed bugs are light brown to reddish-brown, flattened, oval-shaped, and have no hind wings. 
  • Bed bugs have segmented abdomens with microscopic hairs that give them a banded appearance. 
  • Adults grow to 4–5 mm in length (just over 3/16 inch) and 1.5–3 mm wide.
  • Newly hatched nymphs are translucent, lighter in color, and become browner as they molt and reach maturity.
  • A bed bug of any age that has just consumed a blood meal will appear to have a bright red translucent abdomen; this color will fade to brown over the next several hours and, within two days, will become opaque and black as the insect digests its meal.
  •  Bed bugs may be mistaken for other insects, such as ticks, booklice, small cockroaches, or carpet beetles. When warm and active, their movements are more ant-like, and they emit a characteristically disagreeable odor when crushed. 

Helpful Bed Bug Prevention & Treatment Tips:

  • Cover power outlets. Bed bugs use power outlets to hide in order to evade extermination.
  • Store your clothing in vacuum-sealed bags. This is especially important when traveling since bed bugs are most commonly transferred from hotels.
  • Bed bugs often hide in your carpet. It’s important to thoroughly vacuum your carpet.
  • Clean your pet’s bed. Bed bugs can be attracted to your pet’s bed, where they can also find warm crevices to lay eggs and feed. 
  • Don’t delay. The fastest way to get rid of a bed bug infestation in Glen Ellyn Area is by calling a professional exterminator to deal with the issue swiftly and thoroughly.

We just had our visit from Fox Pest Control. Adam was very professional and courteous. He went and sprayed all the baseboards and sprayed all outside. He even took down a wasp nest that was starting that we had no idea about. He gave us a lot of information about our ant problem and about the other bugs that we see sometimes too. Overall very good first experience with this company.
