It came to me as a surprise that there are people in Kitchener who are under the impression that bed bugs won’t bite them if they sleep at night with the lights on. If only they could find a reputable bed bug exterminator in Kitchener, they are going to have a good chance to know the truth and the real score about bed bugs, their feeding habit, and their nature.
Bed bugs are cryptic insects, they are nocturnal critters which mean to say they are most active and does their foraging habits at night. Unfortunately, leaving the lights on during your sleep will not drive them away or keep them from getting a bite for your blood. While it is true that both nocturnal insects and animals would shy away from light as their eyes are too sensitive to it, bed bugs are an exemption for this. Regardless if your room is brightly lit at night, if it’s time for them to have their meal bed bugs would come out of their way to look for a prey and they will always try their best to get to you and have a “bite”. During the day, bedbugs prefer to remain in their hiding places such as crevices, cracks in the wall, underneath your bed and beddings, behind the picture frame, under your table lamp, and much more. The idea is for as long they could remain obscure and out of sight from the prying eyes of humans, they will remain hidden until night time comes. I did further research on this and found out that bed bugs really are not “afraid” of the light per se, but they dread extreme temperatures. Remember, light is a form of energy or heat. If the light is not so intense, then its temperature is not warm enough to agitate it, hence they are able to withstand it and thus can attack their unknowing victim anytime they want to. Now, for me, it makes sense when our old folks used to advise us that in order to kill bed bugs that might have been carried by you in your belongings, you need to directly expose them to sunlight and have them there for several hours. After which, they would die and fall off. Another option to exterminate bed bugs that have been in hiding on your personal belongings should expose them to direct sunlight is not a practical option for you to make would be to soak them up in an extremely hot water. Now, I doubt if this measure now wouldn’t be exterminating them for good. There is also another alternative you can try should the previous two suggestions are not viable for you. You can opt for a hot steam solution instead. The hot steam solution is fast gaining popularity among Canadian homes these days because it is very much effective in driving bed bugs out from their hiding and eradicating them for good. This is actually driving the sales of portable steam devices to spike up and is being sought up by many homemakers in Kitchener. When it comes to providing effective, high-impacting, and long term solution to your bed bug problems and many other dreaded critters we know as pests, nothing can beat the solution that can only be provided to your household by nothing less than a reputable pest management company. In the absence of professional pest control group, you can make use of any of the above-mentioned measures and take on a DIY approach to mitigate the harm that they are ready to inflict on you. Aside from the fact that heat application is highly effective in exterminating bed bugs, I encourage you to take advantage of it because these measures do not involve the use of harmful chemicals. Hence you are safe and the surrounding environment in your home is safe, too. Keep in mind that in pest management, the use of noxious chemicals should not be the priority in providing a long term solution but should only be considered as a last resort when all the other alternative measures have been exhausted but failed. If there is no significant result that can be expected out of those, then that is the only time that the use of chemical-based treatments can be considered. Usually, these are contemplated upon if the bed bug infestation has reached a very alarming level that there is no point in having a DIY approach. If you have a bad case of bed bug infestation at home, make it a point that you immediately reach out to a reputable bed bug exterminator in Kitchener fast because these professionals can provide you with no less than valuable help.
