New York has had more than their share of bed bug infestations. Many people will call a professional for a bed bug treatment even before they really know if they have a bed bug problem. Bedbugs can travel as fast as you can carry them. This is why they have covered a large area of our country, they are great hitchhikers. So if you stay in Buffalo and go home to New York City you can be bringing home some small unwanted guests. Any time we stay in any motel or hotel we will check of bed bug signs. We will do a quick inspection, by looking under and behind any item we can check like night stands, headboards, lamps and other similar areas. We will also inspect the sheets for any small brown stains that could be from the bedbugs. If you walk into a room and it has a copper smell you might be walking in on a big infestation. When you see a bed bug, some people mistake them for small cockroach or even small ticks. We recommend using our CatchMaster Slider BDS for monitoring, as this will let you know if you have a real bedbug problem.  The adults are about the size of an apple seed, While the young bed bugs will be anywhere from the size of a head of a straight pin. The young bedbugs are usually almost clear and only can be seen easily after they have had a blood meal. If you see any live bed bugs you will need to call a professional, as we do not recommend the average person try to tackle treating for bed bugs by themselves. When treating a bedroom it may take up to four hours to do a complete pesticide treatment and if you have several rooms that can add up to a lot of time and you not knowing where to really check for bed bugs you will miss some areas.

Monitoring for bed bugs is our first choice to see if you have a bed bug infestation or after a professional has done their job to make sure they got the job done. You can also use most of the small CatchMaster Glue Boards as a bed bug monitor.
