Frequently Asked Questions
Do bed bugs bite?
Yes. Bed bug bites often appear as red and itchy bumps, typically in a line or small clusters. Some people even experience hives or blistering at the bite site. All the more reason to keep a great bed bug exterminator in mind, like Fox Pest Control.
What if I am bitten by a bed bug?
Don't panic. Bed bug bites can be bothersome, but they cannot transmit disease like some other insects can.
What do bed bugs look like?
Adult bed bugs are light brown to reddish-brown, flattened, oval-shaped and have no hind wings. The front wings are vestigial and reduced to pad-like structures. 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.
Do bed bugs cause structural damage?
No, bed bugs don't necessarily cause damage to structures, however, the value of a property can be impacted by the presence of a bed bug infestation. All the more reason to keep a great bed bug exterminator in mind, like Fox Pest Control.
What's the best treatment for a bed bug infestation?
Fox Pest Control's two-step approach is one of the most effective and efficient treatments for bed bug infestations. First, we’ll spray a safe and effective insecticide in typical bed bug traffic areas. Then, we’ll apply insecticide dust to remove outlets and other hiding spots for bugs. This process is repeated one week later.

Fox Pest Control Pittsburgh Reviews
Rose V.
Fox Pest Control has been keeping my home bug free for over a year. Not only keeping the bugs at bay but doing it in an environmentally safe way. We need to keep the bees and pollinators safe if we expect to have plants, flowers and food. I appreciate the effort that takes for a company to do the right thing.
