Bed bugs don’t bite like ants or spiders.
They pierce the skin with a proboscis and feed like a tiny straw. That’s one reason bed bugs are so difficult to control with chemcials alone.
Unlike cockroaches, bed bugs don’t constantly groom and clean themselves, which means many chemicals have to absorb through their outer shell to work. If the chemical doesn’t reach them directly, hidden bed bugs and eggs can survive and keep the infestation going.
That’s why heat is one of the most effective ways to treat bed bugs. Heat reaches cracks, crevices, furniture, mattresses, box springs, and hiding spots where sprays often fail.
If you’re dealing with bed bugs, don’t wait for them to spread.
