A good night seep is vital for your health and overall well-being. However, waking up to unexpected critters in your bed can make sleeping difficult, affecting the comfort of your living spaces. If you notice small bugs or signs of an infestation, call a professional pest control service quickly. At Wheeler’s Pest Control, we leverage extensive knowledge to identify these unwanted visitors and recommend effective extermination strategies. While there are many causes for bugs to invade your bed, identifying the type of bugs can help you make informed decisions.

Bed Bugs

One of the most common pests that thrive near human hosts is bed bugs. These tiny insects are nocturnal and feed on human blood, making your night time unbearable. Check the dark and narrow spaces between the bed frames, mattress seams, and crevices to ensure pests don’t breed in your home. It is advisable to consult a professional bed bug control expert for an inspection to determine the scope of the infestation and an effective treatment.

Cockroaches

Like bed bugs, cockroaches are nocturnal insects that thrive in dark environments. However, they are drawn to spills, crumbs, and food odor, making kitchens and bathrooms targets. With that in mind, a sighting in the bedroom is not uncommon, especially if you eat food there. Check under the furniture, behind clutter, within wall cracks, and other concealed spaces for signs of an infestation. While DIY solutions like pesticides can eliminate a few cockroaches, hiring a professional pest removal service can prevent an infestation.

Fleas

Fleas are common in homes with pets, especially dogs and cats. If this is the case, the small bugs in your bed might be fleas. Fleas are wingless, bloodsucking insects that ride on pets and into homes. Check for excrement that appears as small reddish-brown flecks, or red, itchy bite marks on your skin. If you notice these signs, it might be time to call a professional pest control expert. For those who prefer a more hands-on approach, vacuum the entire bedroom regularly and take pets to a vet for treatment.

Ticks

Ticks are blood-feeding parasites that belong to the family of mites and spiders. While ticks are usually found on animals, they can invade indoor spaces like your bedroom. Pets are the most common causes of infestation, bringing these critters indoors on their fur. If you notice a small black, brown, or reddish-brown tick, professional intervention is crucial. A reputable pest removal service can implement proven strategies to prevent tick-borne diseases based on the species.

Ants

Ants are usually found in kitchens, but the bedroom is also accessible. If you snack in the bedroom, leftover crumbs can attract ants into your bed. Whether you have black, brown, yellowish, or reddish ants, pest control experts can locate and poison the colony, eliminating an entire population from your premises.

When it comes to identifying small bugs in your bedroom, having a professional pest control service on hand can help. Contact us at Wheeler’s Pest Control and schedule a consultation with our experts to maintain a pest-free space. We provide comprehensive services, including bed bug control, to restore comfort to your home.
