Bed bugs are a big worry for many homeowners, but how do you know when you have them? The only way you can tell for sure is to obtain a sample of the bug, but watch out for small bites on your skin and fecal spots on your sheets. These are good indicators bed bugs are lurking in your home, even if you haven’t actually seen them. 

Enterprise, AL, residents can turn to Copter Pest Control, a company that has been offering reliable bed bug treatments, termite control, and more for over 57 years. Their trained exterminators will inspect your home and let you know if there are any issues.

If one of their professionals determines you do indeed have bed bugs, here’s what to do next: 

• Clean Your Laundry: Heat is deadly to bed bugs, so washing and drying anything that might have been contaminated—especially your sheets—is a good place to start.
• Vacuum: After washing your sheets, run the vacuum over them. Don’t forget to vacuum the cracks and crevices in your headboard to be sure you’ve covered all your bases.
• Encase Your Mattress: Wrap your mattress in a bug-proof encasement. This will prevent bed bugs from hiding in your mattress in the future.
• Treat Your Pets: Your pets can be susceptible to bed bugs, so be sure to take them to the vet and get them checked and treated.
• Call A Pest Control Company: The most important thing you can do if you suspect there are bed bugs in your home? Call a professional for pest control services. It’s the only way to make sure you get rid of them for good and keep them away.
