Today, at ITerminate you will discover everything you need to know about little blood addicts that can take your night's sleep away: bed bugs.

What is a bed bug?

Bed bugs are small oval insects that can measure over 4 mm. They are usually copper or brown and become redder after feeding on blood. In general, they are found in cracks, mattresses, sheets, clothing, baseboards, among other places. They can also be found in homes and hotels due to the constant flow of travelers and their luggage.

In an appropriate environment, these small insects can last about 300 days and lay 1 to 5 eggs per day. They are difficult to remove and find, although they are not as invisible as you might think.

How to detect them

Even though they are small, bed bugs, at least adults, can be identified by the human eye because of their apple seed-like size. Likewise, small bites on the skin after spending time in bed or on furniture are another way to detect them. Other ways to identify them are the skin traces left by young bed bugs when they shed, brown stains the left when they defecate, and the sweet and unpleasant smell they produce.

Bed bugs and diseases

Overall, bed bugs are not related to the transmission of any disease. It has been said that they may be responsible for the spread of diseases such as leprosy and cutaneous leishmaniasis, but there is still no hard evidence to support this theory. What is proven is the skin irritation that causes the bite. This one can leave large wheals, which then decrease in size and turn into red marks; and blister-like skin inflammations. In some cases, their bite can cause severe allergic reactions, in others, the injury may end up being infected.

Prevention

Once bed bugs reach your home, their eradication can become an odyssey. To avoid this, preventive measures must be taken. Here are some quick and easy suggestions to help you prevent this pest problem:

• Keep your home clean and tidy, so you can avoid these insects or detect them more easily.
• If possible, wash your clothes and bedding with the hottest temperature reasonable. Repeat this at the time of drying.
• Inspect your home with regularity. Search for furniture, beds, cracks, suitcases.
• When traveling, avoid placing suitcases and clothing on beds or floors. If the place has a luggage rack, use it. Keep the bag closed at all times.
• When returning from the trip, wash all your clothes with boiling water and dry it in the drying at high temperature.

Meet Possible Roommates: The Most Common Household Pests Part I

ITerminate identifies the most common pests!

In the world of pests, human beings have to face many bugs and small or large animals that can affect homes, crops and even workplaces. When you deal with a household pest, the challenges can be very different from those that arise when it comes to the organisms that attack your plants, so you should always be prepared to take care of your house as well.

Today, ITerminate offers you the first part of the most common household pests list. It may not be such a pleasant path, but it is necessary to ensure a safer home and free from unwanted roommates.

Ants

The first ones on our list are the ants. In some cases, finding them at home is not unusual, but when they start to appear in higher numbers, it can be a problem since an ant in search of food can bring the whole hive with it.

Ants can live almost anywhere in the world, and the tropics are the most favorable place for their appearance. Although few ant species cause severe damage, these small insects can affect gardens, buildings, electronic devices and in some cases harm health or represent a nuisance with their bites.

Bed bugs

Bed bugs are small organisms that are difficult to detect. One of the features that always help to identify them is their constant and annoying bites. Bed bugs eat human and bat blood and usually last a long time without food. These small insects are often hidden under the wallpaper, bedding, and mattresses.

Their bite can generate diseases and, at present, they have become resistant to insecticides, so their extermination should always be considered an urgent task. In cases of bed bugs, it is recommended to look for experts to exterminate the problem.

Spiders

Spiders are the most common pests that can be found in a house if we take into account that there are around 35,000 identified species. In general, home spiders are not usually harmful insects, because they can also bring several benefits. However, depending on the species they can also be quite dangerous and in a more considerable amount they can represent a pest.

Usually, these insects hide in dark places that go from the humid basement to warm ventilation ducts or room corners. If fear of arachnids does not paralyze you, remember not to approach or touch these animals, as their bite or other defense mechanisms can be highly damaging.

Cockroaches

These insects are famous for their difficult extermination, their longevity and the diseases they carry. They are crawling animals that are usually found in garbage dumps and places with massive food waste. They are quite elusive and good at hiding, which sometimes makes it difficult to detect and eliminate them.

The cockroaches found in the tropics are usually larger and reproduce more frequently thanks to the warm climate. These animals seek access to homes since these places offer them food and a warm place to live. Currently, they are considered the number one household pest and one of the most difficult to exterminate due to their ability to survive.

These are just some of the most common pests that we can find in our homes. In some cases, home pest control can work, but when it is a problem that gets out of control, it is necessary to contact experts who can solve your question in the best possible way. In those cases do not hesitate to call ITerminate, experts in pest extermination in an efficient and eco-friendly way.
