Bed Bug Control

McFarland has a strong commitment to caring for its residents. Several donation programs have been in place for years to help distribute surplus resources to residents needing help. Some of these have hit hard times for various reasons, and others simply need the help because of their age. Whether you are on the giving, distributing, or receiving ends of the exchange, McFarland bed bug control should be in place to ensure we are not giving or receiving more than we intend.

The simplest starting point is being careful of goods left abandoned where the past circumstances are unknown, but this is just a tiny fraction of bed bug hitchhiking. Bed bugs can catch rides:

• In shoe tread
• In books
• Inside electronics
• On people (though more rare than the others)
• On clothing
• In zippers
• On airplanes
• In just about any commercial establishment

Thorough and timely inspections are core elements of McFarland bed bug control.

As humans, we have a wide array of savory and sweet preferences that will tickle our fancy. Bed bugs on the other hand, will not and cannot consume anything but blood. Even mosquitoes are able to feed on nectar, but bed bugs are one note eaters. This means that they are not related to cleanliness but will benefit from additional places to hide. Starving out bed bugs is not a good option for McFarland bed bug control since bed bugs have been observed passing months without feeding. Some studies show up to a year in the right conditions.

Identification involves looking for:

• Adult beds bugs (watermelon seed shape and size), nymphs and eggs
• Fecal stains (resembling flakes of pepper)
• Blood smears
• Bites – keep in mind that everybody reacts differently to bed bug bites. Some get welts, some don’t show a sign. Unrecognized bites should only be a starting point and should not be used to determine the final conclusion.

Once bed bugs have been identified, McFarland Bed Bug control requires the right mixture of control tools such as:

• Pitfall traps
• Furniture encasements
• Heat treatments
• Steam treatments
