Bed bugs are very small and are extremely difficult to detect and eliminate because they hide in cracks and crevices of mattresses, furniture, walls, and furnishings around sleeping areas, only exiting to feed. They also multiply rapidly which can present major bed bug infestation problems in a short period of time.
The relocation of bed bugs is another problem. The insects tend to thrive in hotels and multi-unit housing complexes due to the large, frequent, and often unsanitary guests. Bed bugs can easily spread from such establishments to homes because they are highly transient, hitching rides on the luggage, furniture, personal belongings, and pets of those who travel or visit friends, which is why Essential Pest offers residential and commercial bed bug treatment solutions.
