Treatments
Over the past years, bedbug infestations have become more and more common. Infestations typically start off small, with as little as a few eggs, and before you know it your house can be crawling with them. They are often undetected by hiding in the piping of a mattress, behind the headboard or even inside of a boxspring mattress. Once a population of bedbugs grow they can spread throughout the home living in couches, chairs, behind electrical outlets, light switches and behind picture frames.
Unfortunately, the most common feeding source for bedbugs are humans. This means that if any level of bedbug infestation is present in your home then you and your family are the primary targets.
