When it comes to bed bugs, knowing is half the battle. These pests are small, quick, and excellent at hiding. You may not see them during the day, but that doesn’t mean they’re not there. Early detection is the key to stopping an infestation before it grows out of control.
A professional bed bug inspection gives you clear answers. You’ll know whether bed bugs are present, how widespread the problem is, and what needs to happen next. Without this first step, many people waste time and money on treatments that don’t work or fail to address the full problem.
Bed bugs are experts at concealment. They squeeze into cracks no wider than a credit card. They can hide behind outlets, inside furniture seams, and under loose wallpaper. They usually come out at night, making daytime detection even harder.
