How To Know If You Are Dealing With Bed Bugs In Your Everman Home

The major problem with a bed bug infestation is how long these critters can co-exist in your office space or business before being detected. And as long as there’s a continuous food supply, these insects will never go away on their own. That’s why bed bugs can live for many months, and even years, in places like hotels, college dorms, vacation rentals, movie theaters, assisted living facilities, homes, and apartments.

However, as a bed bug problem progresses, clues will start alerting you to their presence. Since these insects feed on your blood while sleeping, you may crush them as you toss and turn during the night. As a result, you may notice blood stains on your pillowcases and sheets. Also, these creatures emit a musty stench from their scent glands, which you’ll likely smell as the infestation grows. 

Although not everyone displays symptoms, some people may wake up with small, itchy, red blisters or bumps. Bed bugs also leave behind dark, rust-colored fecal stains on your mattress, walls, sleepwear, and bedding. Lastly, these insects shed their skin during the maturation process, which you can see along with their eggshells.

How Do I Know If The Ants Around My Everman Home Are Dangerous?

Many ants roam freely around Everman, and some species are more dangerous than others. Here are the most common types of ants that you may see in or around your property:

• Rover ants – pale blond to dark brown color; not dangerous.
• Carpenter ants – dark red to black color; not dangerous to humans, but destructive to wooden structures.
• Odorous ants – dark brown to black color; not dangerous, but emits a terrible odor.
• Acrobat ants – light brown to black color; can sting but rarely does. Also, gives off an unpleasant, foul odor when crushed.
• Fire ants – reddish brown to reddish black color; considered very dangerous and will repeatedly sting until physically brushed off.

Out of the five types of ants, you should avoid the fire species at all times. These insects live outdoors in large colonies in dirt/mud or leaf litter mounds. They can also colonize around the base of trees and inside rotting logs or stumps. These insects prefer to live in open spaces with abundant direct sunlight, like athletic fields, meadows, playgrounds, golf courses, pastures, and parks.
