It’s frustrating trying to get a good night’s sleep but waking up with itchy welts.  Bed bugs are a major nuisance that typically hide away in the home instead of burrowing or living underground. These parasites feed on the blood of humans and pets. In effort to thrive, they tend to hide in areas where they have easy access to a host.

Double C Exterminator recommends a thorough cleaning of bedding, curtains, stuffed animals, and affected clothing. Additionally, be sure to scrub and vacuum your mattress, and cover it and your box spring to prevent bedbugs from escaping. Depending on the level of infestation, you may need a new mattress entirely. From there, a professional exterminator will be able to spray all of the notable areas that bed bugs reside in.
