Bed Bug Treatment Illinois
“Don’t let the bed bugs bite.” You’ve probably heard this many times, believing it was just a quaint, old-fashioned phrase. Unfortunately, these parasitic pests are very real, and they have made a significant and relentless comeback over the last decade. Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers, easily traveling from hotels, public transportation, and second-hand furniture right into your residential bedroom. Worse, these invasive pests wreak havoc not only in homes across the country but also cause severe reputation and financial problems for businesses—from hospitality to retail—throughout Illinois.
The true problem with bed bugs lies in their elusive nature and resilience. They hide in the seams of mattresses, behind headboards, and within electrical outlets, emerging only at night to feed on human blood. Their bites often leave itchy, red welts, and the emotional toll of knowing you are sharing your bed with blood-feeding parasites can lead to severe stress and insomnia. Attempting to eliminate them with do-it-yourself treatments is almost always ineffective, as these pests are resistant to most store-bought sprays and their eggs are nearly impossible to locate without professional training.

What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
Bed bugs have small, flat bodies and range in color from brown to reddish-purple. Adult bed bugs grow to about 1/4 to 3/8 inches in length and look similar to a tick. In fact, the tick and the bed bug both have something in common: They feed on human blood. Whereas a tick attacks you day or night, a bed bug mostly comes out at night for its feeding. Once the bed bug has its fill, it crawls back into its hiding space in your bedding or in the recesses of your couch.
How Do Bed Bugs Enter Homes?
The bed bug acts like a hitchhiker, clinging to whatever it can and hitching a ride to its next destination. You can bring bed bugs into your home or business in a variety of ways, from buying infested used furniture to sharing a seat with someone with infested luggage. Kids who play in an infested outdoor area may also bring the bugs into the home or the school.
Bed bugs take advantage of their new homes by breeding continually and spreading throughout the area. They can lurk in the carpet, hide in clothing, and nest within the bedding. It’s possible to carry bed bugs from your home and transmit them to your car, the office, and other places you visit during the day. Without proper control, these bugs spread like wildfire and can infest most any building within days.
Do Bed Bugs Spread Diseases?
Though bed bugs don’t transmit diseases to humans, they do cause itchy bite marks after they’ve fed. Some people may also develop hives, welts, and rashes depending on their sensitivity to bug bites. Once you know you have a bed bug infestation, it can affect your sleep quality and keep you awake at night. Some people try to eradicate the bugs with do-it-yourself methods and only treat the bedroom. Because of a bed bug’s resilience to some pest control, DIY treatments often don’t work and only prolong the infestation.
