Top 3 mistakes when dealing with bed bugs:

1. Only killing bed bugs where you see them.
Bed bugs are grand master ninjas. They can climb walls, tuck into tight spaces, and feed on their host without being detected. You may spot some bugs, shells, and eggs when you lift up your mattress or open a dresser drawer, but it’s a sure bet that there are more hiding somewhere else in your room.

Regardless of the products that you use, it’s not enough to attack the bed bugs you spot scurrying around. You need to bring the fight to them, with treatment methods that hit them where they’re hiding. High-pressure steamers can kill bed bugs deep inside walls, floorboards, upholstered furniture, and more. Sprays and powders can be applied in cracks and crevices to kill bed bugs nested where you can’t see them (just be sure to read the label on the product to see where it can be safely used).

2. Using products that bed bugs are resistant to.
Just a few years ago, there was a wide range of chemical compounds on the market that were proven to kill bed bugs, either on contact or over time. Over the years, bed bugs have developed resistances to many of these compounds, and those products are no longer as effective. To cut their losses in the development of these compounds, the manufacturers started selling to hardware stores and supermarkets at a discounted price.

Since these off-the-shelf sprays may not be able to curb your bed bug population, don’t use them! Instead, opt for newer cutting-edge contact professionals ( CHOGON FACILITIES TEAM) for a residual sprays that are effective against all strains of bed bugs. They may cost a bit more, but you will have peace of mind knowing that what you are applying is doing the job. We only carry the newest products with no known bed bug resistance.

3. Not preventing re-infestation.
Let’s say you’ve done everything right, and killed almost every bed bug in your home. You rest easy for the first time in weeks, thinking you’ve finally won the war. A few nights may go by, and one morning you discover a fresh cluster of itchy bits. What gives?

Unfortunately, re-infestation is common when preventative measures aren’t taken. What brought them in the first place – whether its a job, bus or friends house – may bring them back again. A single bed bug can lay as many as 500 eggs, and nymphs start feeding immediately after they hatch.

This is why it’s so important to put up long-term defenses as part of your bed bug treatment strategy, bed bug traps, and residual powders are great ways to help ensure that you won’t be waking up to bites again.

When approaching a bed bug infestation, it’s important not to underestimate your foe. Your treatment needs to be thorough and decisive.

Fumigation & Pest Control Services

Remove those sickening Pests and Bugs from the premises of your homes and offices through our Fumigation and Pest Control Services. Our solutions assist in the effective prevention of pest in household and commercial premises like Residence, Hotels, Resorts, Ware houses, and Commercial Complexes. We experts are proficient in identifying all kinds of infestations and provide solutions accordingly. We undertake quarterly fumigation of premises; Larviciding, Mist fogging, Spraying, Dusting.

Below is a detailed background of the fumigation services required

UNDERSTANDING COMMON PESTS BEHAVIOUR AND HABITS PREAMBLE
Effective pest control management requires proper understanding of pest factors such as types, biology, habits, available control methods etc. of pests commonly encountered in our environment. It also requires the understanding and manipulation of environmental factors that aid the proliferation of pests and common bugs.

We earnestly believe that for a pest free work place, you need to fumigate your office at least once every quarter for the following reasons;

PEST FACTORS

• TYPES OF COMMONLY ENCOUNTERED PESTS
There are numerous orders, families, and species of pests in this environment and quite a number of them have high mutability (i.e. ability to change their properties to new strains within a short period and thus develop resistance to common methods and control agents). The probability of recurrence within a relatively short period of apparent extermination of pests is therefore high.

For example, a recent study conducted by a body of pest specialists revealed that for every 1-cockroach seen and destroyed there are 99 others yet to be seen and destroyed. Thus short spaced-out and regular fumigation using updated agents is necessary to overcome the numerous possibilities of the different types of pests.
The different groups of commonly encountered indoor pests are as follows;
• rooster roaches e.g. Brown, Brown-banded, Surinam, Oriental etc.
• Occasional invaders e.g. Bugs, Centipedes, Mites, Beetles, Crickets etc.
• Ants e.g. Carpenter, Soldier, Pharaoh, Acrobat, Crazy, Large yellow etc.

• Blood feeders e.g. Fleas, Bugs, Lice, Mites etc.
• Fabric and pantry pest e.g. Beetles, Bugs, Millipedes etc.
• Envenomizing pests e.g. Spiders, Wasps, Scorpions
• Vertebrae e.g. Mice, Rats, Worms, Mites, Moths etc.
• Flies e.g. House, Cluster, Bottle, Gnats etc.

PEST BIOLOGY
A common denominator in the biological properties of most pests is the relatively short period of reaching sexual maturity, high number of litters’, and rapid large population build up.
For example, the house mouse (Mus musculus Linnaeus) reaches sexual maturity in 30 – 35 days, averages 6 –7 litters, each with at least 6 young mice. Thus if 1 house mouse finds its way into your office, it builds up about a population of 30 – 35 (minus those from its offspring’s) within a relatively short period of less than one year.

• PEST HABITS
Most indoor pests are good climbers, good jumpers (can jump down many feet), good squeezers (can pass tiny holes and gaps), good hiders, secluded nesters (nest in dark secluded areas where nesting material such as paper, cardboard, files etc. are readily available), shy and anti social etc. All these factors combine to increase the possibility of missing out a few during a one off fumigation exercise and increase the perpetuity of these pests.
For example, the roof rat (Rattus rattus, Linnaeus) unlike the house mouse is very shy and antisocial thus avoids unusual items and changes in its habitat thereby making its control relatively more challenging. It is therefore imperative to conduct regular and repeated fumigation exercises in order to overcome these self-perpetuating habits of commonly encountered pests.

• HEALTH RISKS
Most of the pests have serious potential health risks and hazards being vectors, carriers and or transmitters of various diseases. These diseases have been found to be under-diagnosed in our environment due to dearth of modern diagnostic facilities. Thus a number of fevers assumed to be malaria fever are actually due to some of these pest borne diseases.
Examples include;
I. Plague – deadly disease vectored by rodent and rats
II. Leptospirosis – vectored by rodents and rats
III. Tulaeremia – vectored by flies
IV. Relapsing fevers – vectored by louse and tick
V. Oroya Fever- transmitted by sand flies
VI. Enteric fevers (Typhoid and Paratyphoid) – flies play a significant role in transmission
VII. Food Poisoning and Cholera – vectored by houseflies (Musca domestica)

and a host of other common communicable diseases, which impair health, increase medical expenditure, reduce productive man-hours and ultimately reduce organizational productivity and effectiveness. It is therefore imperative to ensure that regular pest control activities are carried out to avoid the physically, psychologically and financially costly prospect of pest related diseases

HOW TO START A COMMERCIAL CLEANING BUSINESS IN NIGERIA

Do you want to learn how to start a cleaning business from home with no money? Do you want to know the ins and outs of starting a commercial cleaning business from scratch? Do you need a sample commercial cleaning business plan template or feasibility study? Then read on.
Starting a cleaning business is in every way feasible. Everyone needs his/her house clean. This should tell you that the demand would always be there. Cleaning both residential and commercial premises is a great option with great financial promises; while requiring minimum initial investment. In this article, I will teach you how to start a cleaning business from home with little or no money.
Why You Should Start a Commercial Cleaning Business
Do you know that many people prefer to hire a cleaner than do the cleaning themselves? Now, picture a typical business office where everybody is busy trying to solve one challenge or the other with barely a chance to relax, who would have the time to clean the office?
If the office was left dirty because no one has the time to clean, would that not be a way of driving the customers away since no one likes to visit a dirty place?This is why a cleaner is needed in almost every commercial establishment.
Companies are always willing to outsource the cleaning of their offices so that it can be professionally done, and the staff can concentrate on their jobs. Cleaning business is divided into residential cleaning and commercial cleaning.
Residential cleaners offer home cleaning services while commercial cleaning involves cleaning of offices and commercial buildings. A Commercial cleaning business is one of the best businesses you can start with little capital. The procedure for starting a cleaning business is easy and straightforward. The most important thing is how to get clients to patronize you as a new comer into the business.
But before I go into the details of starting a cleaning business, I want to emphatically state that the information provided in this article does not in any way replace the need for you to conduct a feasibility study, write a business plan and do your own due diligence.
Secondly, the information shared in this article is applicable to any locality; be it USA, Canada, UK, Nigeria, Ghana, etc. Without wasting your time, below are some guidelines on how to start your own cleaning business from home with little or no money.

How to Start a Commercial Cleaning
1. Determine the niche you want to pursue
You could choose from either:
• Residential housecleaning
• Floor cleaning
• Gutter cleaning
• Roof cleaning
• Carpet cleaning
• Pool cleaning
• Window cleaning
• Office cleaning
• Foreclosure property cleaning
One important advice is to explore the business opportunities from your chosen niche that you can exploit to its fullest. This includes thorough understanding of the market trends and its behavior, the competition, the current rates, your investment options and the profit margins involved.
2. Conduct feasibility research
As you gather knowledge on how to start a cleaning business, you also need to decide whether your business will operate full-time or part-time depending on the time factor you can accommodate for it. You may have to put in extra effort if ever you are going to make this your primary source of income.
3. Your Qualification
The good news is you do not need a degree or certificate to qualify as a commercial cleaner. However, you would need some training and special skills to enable you succeed and stand out in your business. Seek out some commercial cleaning establishment and work with them for a little while.
After a six months or a year, you should be able to understand all the techniques and intricacies of a commercial cleaning business.
4. Create a Business Plan
For every business, it is important to create a business plan. In your business plan, it is necessary you make a list of all the services you would be offering. Some of the services offered by commercial cleaners include sweeping offices, vacuuming carpets and rugs, mopping, taking out trash and cleaning furniture. You may also be required to clean the bathrooms.
Your business plan should also contain future plans for your business, how you plan to expand your business and other services you would like to add in the future. Do not forget to list all the equipment and cleaning items you need to start, as well as the costs.
5. Determine your investment capacity at the moment
Determining your start-up capital will not be difficult if you have a sound business plan on hand. You are also going to need this in case you will need financial help from lending institutions. If you can convince them that you not a high risk; then you’ll get financial help. Probably one of the good news you can expect when learning how to start a cleaning business is that you can launch business operations with just a minimal investment.
6. Purchase cleaning supplies
This business type does not require heavy investments in equipment, maintenance, an extravagant sophisticated setup and instructional courses. You can take things slowly and start from home with just the basic supplies and equipment. In some cases, you may need to have a vehicle with which you can transport cleaning supplies, equipment, and personnel (if you have any).
To start your commercial cleaning business, you would need to purchase items like dust pans, solid brooms, vacuum cleaner, buckets, paper towels, stain removers, paper towels, cleaning rags, aprons and coveralls, rubber gloves to protect your hands and clothe rags. Make sure you buy quality products because the quality of products you use will affect the outcome of your job.
7. Register your business and obtain insurance
You also need to determine all the legal formalities before you can operate your business legally. You need to secure business licenses and sufficient insurance coverage to protect your business.
To be on the safe side, it is important to register your business and obtain a business license to enable you operate your business legally and freely. Application requirements for each business and ownership structure differ. Check out the local state guidelines to make sure you are not doing anything illegal on your end.
To determine the application requirements for a commercial cleaning business, visit a business registration office in the state where you wish to operate your business.
Well, you may be saying “Why do I need insurance?” Commercial Cleaning involves working in business offices and handling company items. What if in the course of cleaning one day, you mistakenly break something, something really expensive that you cannot afford to pay for from your savings? That’s where liability insurance would come in handy.
Your insurance would cover all damages that may happen in the course of your business. Having an insurance policy is also a huge selling point for your business because it would give clients the confidence to hire you.
8. Set prices for your services
As a beginner, you may be a little confused about what you should charge your clients for your services. This shouldn’t be much of a challenge if you had undergone some training because you would already have an idea of market prices.
If you do not have an idea of existing market prices, you would need to conduct a personal research to determine how much other cleaners are charging. You can look for phone numbers, e-mail addresses or office addresses of about three cleaning companies around you and call them up while pretending to be a prospective customer.
Find out how much they charge for each category of cleaning service and then come up with your own prices. Make your prices as competitive as possible to get more customers.
9. Look for clients to patronize your business
You need to advertise your business. Remember that no business, regardless of the nature, can ever survive if the market does not know about its existence. Your marketing campaign may consist of flyers and brochures you can distribute in people-frequented places like the mall and the park.
Another way is to get the phone numbers of business offices around you and call them up. Introduce your business and offer them competitive prices. You may be able to get many customers this way.
Another way to get clients for your business is to harness the power of the internet. Create a website for your business to make it possible to reach more clients and promote your business on social media.
As a final note, you can also start a word-of-mouth campaign starting from your family and friends. This is a very effective technique, and it gets customers to trust in you. Another cheaper alternative would be to advertise online. Here, you have the possibility of reaching new markets that traditional print marketing cannot accomplish for you. Social networking sites are just perfect for the job.Thereare many ways to source for clients to patronize your commercial cleaning business.
10. Build a reliable team
It’s almost impossible to work alone in your commercial cleaning business. You may need to be in different places at the same time, so you would need to build a team of reliable cleaners. Cleaners who have just about the same passion for the business as you.
When recruiting people to join your team, you must conduct interviews to learn more about them and their ability to do the job perfectly. You should also train your employees and teach them all the techniques to do a perfect job and keep the clients happy.
Lastly, I will advice you learn how to start cleaning business from home now. The opportunities to earn good money are there, you’ll just have to know how to exploit them.

9. Look for clients to patronize your business
You need to advertise your business. Remember that no business, regardless of the nature, can ever survive if the market does not know about its existence. Your marketing campaign may consist of flyers and brochures you can distribute in people-frequented places like the mall and the park.
Another way is to get the phone numbers of business offices around you and call them up. Introduce your business and offer them competitive prices. You may be able to get many customers this way.
Another way to get clients for your business is to harness the power of the internet. Create a website for your business to make it possible to reach more clients and promote your business on social media.
As a final note, you can also start a word-of-mouth campaign starting from your family and friends. This is a very effective technique, and it gets customers to trust in you. Another cheaper alternative would be to advertise online. Here, you have the possibility of reaching new markets that traditional print marketing cannot accomplish for you. Social networking sites are just perfect for the job.Thereare many ways to source for clients to patronize your commercial cleaning business.
10. Build a reliable team
It’s almost impossible to work alone in your commercial cleaning business. You may need to be in different places at the same time, so you would need to build a team of reliable cleaners. Cleaners who have just about the same passion for the business as you.
When recruiting people to join your team, you must conduct interviews to learn more about them and their ability to do the job perfectly. You should also train your employees and teach them all the techniques to do a perfect job and keep the clients happy.
Lastly, I will advice you learn how to start cleaning business from home now. The opportunities to earn good money are there, you’ll just have to know how to exploit them.

How to Start a Cleaning Business in Nigeria

"If you use Emotion and Love to drive your sales and your business, you will create Loyalty Beyond Reason. And I promise you, you will build relationships and enjoy a business that exceeds beyond your wildest expectations"

I would like to share what I have learned through the years in hopes of helping others who are thinking about starting their own cleaning service business in Nigeria.
First of all, before you decide to start your cleaning business, make sure this kind of work is right for you. You will need to be in good physical condition. Cleaning is very hard strenuous work. You will need to have good customer relation skills. You will need to have basic office skills and some accounting skills.
If you are planning on leaving your full time position to start a cleaning business, make sure you have at least six months of savings. Or keep your full time job and start out part time.
Research all the aspects of the cleaning service business. From customer service to advertising, taxes, employees, insurance and bonding, what to charge and how to clean a home professionally. Cleaning your own home and cleaning professionally is totally different. Learning how to clean professionally takes a lot of time. When a client pays for your services they expect to come home and find their home spotless.
Getting those first clients takes time, persistence and patience. You won't get a hundred clients overnight.
Obtaining Those First Clients
The hardest part of starting your own cleaning service is obtaining those first clients. Most clients want to know how long you have been in business and want references. The best thing to do is let clients know that, yes, you are new to the business but that you have thoroughly researched all aspects of the cleaning business and assure them that you know what you are doing and that you are quite capable of cleaning their home to their specifications. Be confident. I can't stress this enough. Clients love to see confidence. It relieves their worries and lets them know that their home is in good hands.

References
To get a few good references when starting out, ask some friends or family members if you can clean their home for free or at a discounted rate. The sound of working for free may not be appealing but it will be worth it to get some good testimonials.
When cleaning those first homes, go for quality, not how fast you can clean the home. Cleaning efficiently takes a long time, but you will get to the point where you can do a thorough cleaning in a short time. After cleaning make sure you go back and double check all rooms to make sure you didn't miss anything. Impress those first clients and word of mouth will spread soon.
Advertising
A great place to start all your advertising promotions is social media , its cheap and has a wider reach, print brochures, post cards and letterhead.
Your company image is everything. Before you start advertising, decide what image you want to portray on your advertising material. Your image is very important. Be consistent with all your advertising. If you have a logo be sure to use it on all your advertising materials. I think it is best to have a website developed before you start advertising. When advertising, stick with the same logo and colors.
Advertise in Local Paper: Start by running a text ad in your local newspaper. Try to come up with an eye catching ad Don't sell your services on low rates, sell your services on your quality of work and what you can do for the client that other companies don't. There is a lot of competition in the cleaning service. You have to stand out from the rest.
Magnetic Signs or Lettering for your Vehicle: Having your business name and contact information on your vehicle is a great way to advertise. We use the vinyl lettering. The lettering looks much more professional than the magnetic signs. Note* If you decide to use lettering on your vehicle, you will need a commercial auto policy/permits from Government agency.
Door Hangers: Door hangers are a great way to get new clients. Pick the neighborhood you would like to work in and hang the door hangers on the doors. When people get flyers or ads in their mailbox they usually throw them away with the junk mail. But if there is a door hanger on the door they will take the time to look at it.
Business Cards: Start passing out your business cards to friends and family members. You can also ask your local businesses if you can leave some cards on their counters.
Referral Program: A great way to obtain new clients is through a referral program. Offer existing clients a discount when they refer a friend. You can give your existing clients a discount when the friend uses your services three times.
Website: These days people live very busy lives so they use the convenience of the internet to shop for the services they need. A lot of working women will shop for services while at work. We obtain 90% of our new clients from our website. Everyone who owns a business should have a website VERY IMPORTANT!. It shows clients that you are serious about your business and allows them to research your company in their own time.
Cleaning Products
I highly recommend using natural cleaning products. By using all natural products, you can offer your clients a healthy cleaning experience and protect yourself and your employees against harsh chemicals. In 2012 we created a uniquely different product line for use in our clients homes and for homeowners and cleaning services.
Be Informed! Hazards of ingredients in common cleaning and maintenance products.
What are Natural Ingredients? Check out the NATURAL INGREDIENT CRITERIA
Tip: Always carry hand sanitizer and wash your hands often while cleaning homes. Wear gloves when cleaning bathrooms. You will be exposed to a lot of different germs in client’s homes. Remember most customers prefer that you bring your own cleaning supplies. That way they don’t have to worry about going to the store for cleaning supplies before you clean. Some customers have special cleaners for certain appliances or floors in their houses. These customers usually will have these cleaners on hand for you to use.
What to Charge
I mentioned earlier that you should sell your services on your quality of work and not your low rates. If your rates are too low, clients will think that your work is sub-standard and that you are not experienced. Also you want to attract the clients that can afford your services. I made the mistake of pricing my work too low when I first started out. Cleaning is hard work, charge what you are worth. As the old saying goes "You get what you pay for."
Some companies charge by the hour, some charge by the room, some charge a flat rate per home and some charge by the square foot. I always give a flat rate charge per home. I think it is better to charge by the home, not by the hour. If a client knows they have to pay one set fee, they don’t care if you take 2 hours or 5 hours. Also your clients will know what they are paying up front and won’t have to worry about added expenses.
No two houses are the same. And there is no set charge for all homes. You have to clean for awhile yourself to get some experience and to work out a system to clean efficiently. Only you know what you want and need to make. Decide what you need to make hourly to cover all expenses and still make a good profit.
A word of advise: Make sure when you start your company that you charge what you would charge if you had employees. Some people make the mistake of under charging when they start out just to get customers and then later on when they grow and need to hire help they aren't making enough money on their houses to pay help. Don’t under price your work. Cleaning homes is very hard physical work and you didn't get into this business to work for nothing.
Post Constructiong Cleaning
If you decide to do this type of work you will need more equipment. You will need ladders, window cleaning kits with long extensions, a shop vac, etc. These types of jobs are usually 2 to 3 person jobs. New construction cleaning requires a lot more cleaning. You may have to remove stickers and labels from windows and bathroom showers, sinks and toilets. Some require that you clean the vents to remove dust from construction work. There will be ceiling fans to clean, scrubbing floors, and cleaning woodwork to remove dust. New construction cleaning rates depend on the area you live in.

Hiring Assistants / Helps / Employees
If you start out cleaning the homes by yourself, you will eventually get to the point where you need to expand your business. Start out with one part time employee. Train her and let her take your place one day a week. Then have her take your place 2 days a week and so on. This will give you the free time that you need to market your business and obtain more clients. After you get more clients you will be able to hire more part time help. Eventually you will be able to stop doing the cleaning yourself and just run the business end, which is the only way you will be able to grow your business. When training new employees, always, either train them yourself or have a lead person train them. Make sure there is a lead person on each and every cleaning job. Employees have a tendency to slack off when they are on their own.
Growing Your Business
You will eventually get to the point where you have enough employees and lead people and you will be able to stop working in your business and start running your business. You will find that after awhile it will get to be too much trying to clean everyday and at the same time giving estimates, answering calls, scheduling, doing book work, obtaining new clients, etc.
Add on Services
After you have been cleaning homes for awhile, you may decide to offer additional services to your cleaning company. There are so many services you can add:
• Window Cleaning
• Carpet Cleaning
• Errand Services
• Party Cleaning and Assistance
• Real Estate Cleaning
• New Construction
• Clean-Up
• Tea and pantry service
Remember one of the most important qualifications for a cleaning service is TRUST. A client has to know they can trust you alone in their home. After you acquire a few cleaning positions ask the clients if you can use them for a reference. Most of the time they are more than willing to let you use them for a reference. This is how you build your business and acquire new clients is through referrals. Be dependable. Most clients will want to be set up on an every week or every other week schedule on the same day of the week. Try to always keep this same schedule unless the client asks you to switch to another day. If you have to cancel a cleaning date, make sure you try to reschedule at the earliest possible date to make up the cleaning.
Cleaning Service Directory Resource Center This is a great place to add your cleaning service business when you first start out. They have listings for all states. A lot of people use the cleaning service directory to find potential cleaning services.

How to Start a Cleaning Business in Nigeria

"If you use Emotion and Love to drive your sales and your business, you will create Loyalty Beyond Reason. And I promise you, you will build relationships and enjoy a business that exceeds beyond your wildest expectations"

I would like to share what I have learned through the years in hopes of helping others who are thinking about starting their own cleaning service business in Nigeria.
First of all, before you decide to start your cleaning business, make sure this kind of work is right for you. You will need to be in good physical condition. Cleaning is very hard strenuous work. You will need to have good customer relation skills. You will need to have basic office skills and some accounting skills.
If you are planning on leaving your full time position to start a cleaning business, make sure you have at least six months of savings. Or keep your full time job and start out part time.
Research all the aspects of the cleaning service business. From customer service to advertising, taxes, employees, insurance and bonding, what to charge and how to clean a home professionally. Cleaning your own home and cleaning professionally is totally different. Learning how to clean professionally takes a lot of time. When a client pays for your services they expect to come home and find their home spotless.
Getting those first clients takes time, persistence and patience. You won't get a hundred clients overnight.

Basic Facts about Bedbugs part 2
Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. Adult bedbugs have flat bodies about the size of an apple seed. After feeding, however, their bodies swell and are a reddish color.
Bedbugs do not fly, but they can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings. Female bedbugs may lay hundreds of eggs, each of which is about the size of a speck of dust, over a lifetime.
Immature bedbugs, called nymphs, shed their skins five times before reaching maturity and require a meal of blood before each shedding. Under favorable conditions the bugs can develop fully in as little as a month and produce three or more generations per year.
Although they are a nuisance, they do not transmit diseases.
Bedbugs Slideshow
Where Bed Bugs Hide
Bedbugs may enter your home undetected through luggage, clothing, used beds and couches, and other items. Their flattened bodies make it possible for them to fit into tiny spaces, about the width of a credit card. Bedbugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but tend to live in groups in hiding places. Their initial hiding places are typically in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards where they have easy access to people to bite in the night.
Over time, however, they may scatter through the bedroom, moving into any crevice or protected location. They may also spread to nearby rooms or apartments.
Because bedbugs live solely on blood, having them in your home is not a sign of dirtiness. You are as likely to find them in immaculate homes and hotel rooms as in filthy ones.
When Bedbugs Bite
Bedbugs are active mainly at night and usually bite people while they are sleeping. They feed by piercing the skin and withdrawing blood through an elongated beak. The bugs feed from three to 10 minutes to become engorged and then crawl away unnoticed.

Most bedbug bites are painless at first, but later turn into itchy welts. Unlike flea bites that are mainly around the ankles, bedbug bites are on any area of skin exposed while sleeping. Also, the bites do not have a red spot in the center like flea bites do.
People who don't realize they have a bedbug infestation may attribute the itching and welts to other causes, such as mosquitoes. To confirm bedbug bites, you must find and identify the bugs themselves.


Signs of Infestation
If you wake up with itchy areas you didn't have when you went to sleep, you may have bedbugs, particularly if you got a used bed or other used furniture around the time the bites started. Other signs that you have bedbugs include:
• Blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases
• Dark or rusty spots of bedbug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, and walls
• Bedbug fecal spots, egg shells, or shed skins in areas where bedbugs hide
• An offensive, musty odor from the bugs' scent glands
•
