Bed Bug Control In St. Louis, MO

What To Do When Bed Bugs Bite In Your St. Louis Home

If you’ve been waking up covered in itchy, red bites, you might have a bed bug infestation. No one likes the idea of having bed bugs in their home, and for good reason. Bed bugs quickly reproduce, so a small infestation can soon become a large one. If you think bed bugs have gotten into your St. Louis house, the sooner you take action, the better. Arenz Pest Management Solutions offers bed bug control services to eliminate your bed bug problems.

Why Act Quickly?

Addressing a bed bug problem promptly is crucial to prevent a small issue from escalating into a full-blown infestation. Here’s why immediate action is essential:

Prevent Secondary Infections: Constant scratching of bed bug bites can lead to open sores, which increase the risk of bacterial infections. Prompt treatment can prevent these secondary health issues and reduce the need for medical attention.

Avoid Severe Sleep Disturbances: Bed bugs are nocturnal and feed on blood while you sleep. Their presence can cause severe sleep disruptions, leading to insomnia, anxiety, and overall reduced quality of life. Early intervention helps restore your comfort and sleep patterns more quickly.

Reduce Stress and Anxiety: The emotional stress of dealing with a bed bug infestation can be overwhelming. Prompt action alleviates the anxiety associated with an infestation, allowing you to regain peace of mind and focus on other aspects of your life.

Minimize Property Damage: Bed bugs can spread rapidly, and their presence might damage bedding, furniture, and other household items. Quick action can help minimize the extent of damage and reduce the costs associated with replacing or cleaning affected items.

Lower Treatment Costs: The longer bed bugs are allowed to multiply, the more extensive and expensive the treatment process becomes. Early detection and treatment often lead to simpler and more cost-effective solutions, saving you money in the long run.

Prevent Spread to Other Areas: Bed bugs can easily spread from one room to another or to neighboring apartments and homes. Addressing the issue quickly helps prevent the infestation from spreading and affecting other areas.


By acting swiftly, you ensure a more efficient and effective resolution to your bed bug problem. Contact Arenz Pest Management Solutions today to schedule a professional inspection and start the treatment process as soon as possible.


Commonly Asked Questions

What are the signs of a bed bug infestation?

Common signs of a bed bug infestation include waking up with itchy, red bites, finding small blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases, spotting dark spots (bed bug feces) on bedding or furniture, and seeing actual bed bugs, which are small, reddish-brown insects. If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to call a professional pest control service immediately.

How do bed bugs spread?

Bed bugs can spread by hitching a ride on clothing, luggage, furniture, or personal items. They can also travel between rooms, apartments, or houses through cracks, walls, and pipes. They are often introduced to new areas by people or items that have been exposed to an infested location.

Inspection

Unfortunately, bed bugs are not always easy to identify. Several other bugs are commonly mistaken for these pests because of their similar appearance, and a flea infestation can sometimes be mistaken for a bed bug infestation because of the similarities in their bites.

Before performing any bed bug treatment in your home, we’ll inspect to verify if bed bugs are in your house. Not only will we look for the bed bugs themselves, but also the signs they leave behind.

Signs of a bed bug infestation include the following:

  • Droppings
  • Shed casings
  • Blood spots
  • Bites
  • Eggs

Treatment

If we determine that bed bugs are present in your house, we’ll discuss your treatment options with you, then schedule a service appointment. We’ll also provide you with a prep sheet of tasks that must be completed prior to our arrival. The more access we have to your house the better, so we’ll ask you to do things such as remove and launder bedding, remove clothing from closets and drawers, and more.

On the day of your treatment, you’ll need to leave your home during the service appointment. Although we focus on bedrooms, we’ll treat your entire house. We use a variety of methods of treatment, including sprays, dusts, and spores.

Follow-Up

Bed bug infestations typically require a follow-up or two in order to fully eliminate the infestation. We’ll return on a bi-weekly basis until your bed bug problem has been eliminated.

Effective Bed Bug Prevention Tips

Preventing a bed bug infestation is much easier and less costly than dealing with the problem once it occurs. Here are some effective bed bug prevention tips to keep your home or business bed bug-free:

  • Regularly inspect and vacuum your home, paying close attention to cracks and crevices in furniture, walls, and flooring.
  • Encase mattresses and box springs with bed bug-proof covers to prevent infestations.
  • Be cautious when bringing secondhand furniture or clothing into your home, as these items can harbor bed bugs.
  • When traveling, inspect hotel rooms for signs of bed bugs and keep luggage off the floor and bed.
  • Seal any cracks or gaps in walls, baseboards, and electrical outlets to prevent bed bugs from entering your home.

By following these prevention tips, you can reduce the risk of a bed bug infestation and maintain a pest-free environment in your home or business.
