Remember the old saying about not letting the bed bugs bite? Maybe you heard your grandma say it at some point. Your Panama City Pest Control experts have heard the saying, too, and are prepared for the problem.

Bed bugs were nearly eradicated in the middle of the last century, but in the last twenty years they have reappeared with a vengeance.

Causes are varied, but whether it’s a change in pesticides, widespread travel, or tolerance to preventative measures, the truth is bed bugs are back. The good news is that despite their comeback, they’re facing new techniques from pest management professionals.

Should You Really be Worried About Bed Bugs?

Despite their name, bed bugs can live in a variety of locations inside your home. An infestation means they can be found in anything upholstered or with texture. Although they tend to remain in places where they can feed, they aren’t afraid to move across carpets, floors, shelves, and even inside electronics.

Ultimately, they’re survivors that feed on blood. Their life-cycle is dictated by temperature, humidity, and the availability of food. This cycle can complete in as little as four weeks.
