Cimex lectularius, commonly called the bed bug, is a small, reddish-brown insect that relies on human blood for sustenance. About the size of an apple seed, these pests usually hide in mattress seams, box springs, and furniture cracks. Bed bugs are mostly active at night and can hide in small areas like fabric folds, electrical outlets, and behind picture frames.
Bed bugs pass through five stages before reaching adulthood, requiring a blood meal to molt from one stage to the next. Female bed bugs lay up to five eggs each day in concealed spots. They can survive for several months without feeding. Although they don’t transmit diseases, bed bug bites can lead to itching and allergic reactions.
Cimex Hemipterus is a species of bed bug found mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. Like its cosmopolitan cousin, Cimex lectularius, this bed bug feeds on human and animal blood. They are small, reddish-brown insects that grow up to 4-5 mm, with oval and flat bodies that help them hide in small spaces.
These bed bugs are mostly active at night but can also bite during the day if conditions are too hot or dry. They prefer to nest near water to keep their larvae hydrated. If you suspect a bed bug infestation, check around your bed or other resting places. Look for small blood spots on sheets, brown fecal smears, and shed skins as signs.
Leptocimex Boueti bed bugs can become a significant issue if they infest your home. These pests usually feed on humans at night but may come out during the day if it’s too hot or dry. They often stay near water to ensure their larvae have access to drinking water, even though they are not aquatic.
Adult Leptocimex Boueti are about the size of an apple seed, with a flat, oval shape. They are reddish-brown and darken after feeding. They have long antennae and raspberry-like compound eyes. With three pairs of legs, their bodies can expand significantly while feeding. If you think you have a bed bug problem, it’s essential to act quickly. Kearny Mesa Pest Control is here to help eliminate these pests and keep them from returning.
The eggs of bed bugs are tiny and difficult to detect, measuring around 1mm in length. Their pearl-white color helps them blend with light-colored surfaces. If the eggs are more than five days old, you might notice a small eye spot on them.
Bed bugs prefer to lay their eggs in hidden, secure spots close to where they feed. These places include mattress seams, crevices in box springs, and under baseboards. Female bed bugs can lay up to five eggs per day, which hatch in 4-12 days. If left untreated, these eggs can result in new infestations.
Bed bug nymphs are juvenile bed bugs that pass through five stages on their way to becoming adults. These nymphs are smaller and lighter in color, making them more difficult to notice than adults. A blood meal is necessary for each stage to molt into the next, and feeding generally takes around 5-10 minutes.
Nymphs tend to stay near beds and resting areas, often hiding in seams of mattresses, bed frames, and other small spaces. Signs of their presence include small, pale bugs and minor blood spots on sheets. Comprehensive treatment targets these specific areas to ensure complete nymph removal.
Adult bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects, roughly the size of an apple seed. Their bodies are flat and oval but swell up after feeding. These pests feed on human blood, often biting at night while their hosts are asleep.
You can find bed bugs near places where people rest, such as mattress seams, bed frames, and other close furniture. They may also hide behind electrical outlets and picture frames. Signs of bed bugs include red blood spots, brown fecal streaks, and discarded skins. Regular inspections can help identify and manage bed bug problems early.
At Kearny Mesa Pest Control, bed bug treatment begins with a detailed inspection by our trained inspectors. They identify bed bugs through signs or photos and provide a preparation sheet with guidelines. Customers must prepare by removing items from walls, vacuuming affected areas, and laundering bedding and clothing. Our team treats the entire room, concentrating on furniture legs, moldings, cracks, crevices, bed frames, headboards, box springs, and mattresses. The fabric under the box spring must be removed to enhance treatment effectiveness. Treated rooms should stay vacant for at least three hours after treatment.
We typically recommend 3-4 treatment sessions based on the severity of the infestation. Costs are calculated following the inspection. Our bed bug treatments are safe for pets, although it’s best to vacate the premises for 3-4 hours during and after treatment. We offer a 30-day warranty on comprehensive home treatments. Following our preventive measures and maintaining cleanliness can help prevent future infestations. Our methodical and effective treatment approach ensures complete bed bug removal, providing our clients with peace of mind.
We offer a free follow-up service two weeks after the initial bed bug treatment. This follow-up includes using an insect growth regulator to disrupt the life cycle of bed bugs, ensuring any remaining eggs or nymphs are targeted to prevent them from reaching adulthood.
Our technicians will inspect the treated areas once again to check for any signs of bed bug activity. This extra step provides an added layer of protection and peace of mind. With our follow-up treatment, you can be confident that we are committed to thoroughly eliminating bed bugs from your home.
Serving Kearny Mesa and its surrounding communities, we’re dedicated to keeping your spaces pest-free. Our team is passionate about these areas and is focused on providing top-quality service and reliable results.
