BED BUG EXTERMINATOR SERVING WILMINGTON, OAK ISLAND, SOUTHPORT, NC AND THE SURROUNDING AREAS

Bed bugs move between their human host and their surroundings where they hide during the day. Hiding places include the seams and folds of mattresses, cracks and crevices of bedside furniture, as well as floor moldings and other protected spaces. They can survive for long periods off the host without feeding, or they may feed on an alternate warm-blooded host animal, but humans are the bed bug’s preferred host. Our bed bug exterminators understand that getting into bed and discovering bed bugs is one of the things you least want to experience. We will make sure your bed is safe from bed bugs so you can sleep at ease.

Bed bugs are known to bite during nighttime but hide throughout the day. Because of this behavior, they tend to hide in and around bedding. Since adult bed bugs can live 6-12 months, infestations build slowly and last a long time if not treated. Heavily infested rooms often have a distinctive “sickly sweet” odor which is produced by scent glands on the insects.
