When people encounter pests in their home, most times, their first instinct is to try handling the problem on their own. After all, if it's just a few ants or a bee that found its way through an open door or window, the problem may be quickly resolved. With bedbugs, however, this is almost never the case. Bedbugs are a uniquely stubborn pest, hard to identify and even harder to get rid of.

Top 3 Reasons to Hire a Professional for Bedbugs

1. They're Hard to Spot

Most people only realize they have bedbugs after they wake up with red splotchy bites on their body. These insects are tiny, well-hidden, and wait until you’re asleep to strike. It's a combination that makes them highly elusive. 

2. They're Hard to Kill

Homeowners and apartment dwellers have very little success eliminating bedbugs without some form of insecticide. And even when they use professional-grade sprays, the results are mixed. Because most of the bedbugs are highly concealed and will rarely reveal themselves while you’re spraying your mattress and box spring, you need a spray that will continue to combat them even after it's dried, which is hard to find. 

3. They Incubate Quickly & Effectively

Worst of all, bedbugs are notorious for laying eggs and spawning a new generation of blood-sucking pests quickly. These "bedbug nymphs" are the hardest to kill too, making it all but inevitable for you to fend off a second generation of the intractable pests.

Because of their resilience and ability to bring offspring into the home so quickly—not to mention the uniquely invasive nature of having bugs infesting your bed—bedbugs almost always require professional assistance. Copter Pest Control in Enterprise, AL, will sufficiently exterminate them. They have protected homes and businesses from a wide range of pests since they were first licensed and insured in 1959.
