We work effectively and quickly with as little disruption as possible.
What Are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are insects that feed on human blood at night. They are usually found in and around our beds, which gave them their name. The typical sign of having a bed bug infestation is finding specific bite marks on your body: three bites in a row. The bitten area will get red and itchy, swollen and might even develop into blisters if you are sensitive to insect bites.
If you happen to find a dead or alive bed bug in your home, learn how to recognize it. It is an oval-shaped brown insect with no wings, and it’s flat if it hasn’t fed recently. If it just fed on blood, you can observe its swollen body and even tell by its darker color. They might get confused with other insects (cockroaches, ticks, etc.), but what gives them away is their ant-like movements and a specific unpleasant odor when crushed.
Bed bugs will be on the move mostly at night when they will roam in search of a host to feed on. Starving bed bugs will travel in search of a warm-blooded host to feed on.
Not sure whether you have bed bug infestation?
If there are any bites on your skin that you cannot explain, it might a clear sign of bed bugs. These bites appear as red bumps, or sometimes as a red rash that is itchy. These rashes are normally not dangerous, but they are annoying. If you do not take care of the bed bug problem soon, they will keep reproducing and the infestation will only become worse.

What Makes Bed Bugs so Hard to Get Rid of?
Bed bugs are notoriously hard to get rid of. They are extremely prolific and will breed fast if they are not controlled efficiently. A bed bug only feeds every five to seven days, which make it less exposed to its hosts (you). If it doesn’t have food, it can still survive for months without eating. In ideal conditions, a bed bug will live for up to a year, and if a female bed bug is not killed during the pest control actions, it can breed fast and restart the infestation.
Even if you do find evidence of a bed bug infestation, getting to them is tricky, because they love hiding in inaccessible places, and they can nest deep inside your mattress, for example. Combine this with a resistance to home remedies and even over-the-counter deterrent, and you have a very strong enemy to fight.
“… and don’t let the bed bugs bite—and if they do, hit’em with a shoe…” If it were only as simple as that old childhood ditty! Bed bugs, or cimicidae, are parasitic insects that feed on human blood. 98.2% lodge in mattresses; 93.6% lodge in boxsprings, and 94.1% in baseboards, carpets and curtains. New Jersey has had a difficult time achieving effective bed bug control—especially in hotels on a larger scale. B & D Pest Solutions LLC often uses a combination of the described methods for more successful results.

What is B&D’s control process?
Some of our methods include:
- Chemical Management – Bed bugs have become very resistant to pyrethroid insecticides, so proper chemical management is very important.
- Steam Treatment – This is effective but the temperature must reach 150 to 170 degrees. It is labor-intensive, tedious and time-consuming.
- Vacuuming – Vacuuming is effective but it must be done consistently and must be complemented by use of pesticides.

Facts About Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are reddish-brown, flat, oval insects up to 4-5 mm long. They appear red and swollen after a meal. They feed only on blood, and in cold temperatures, they can go without food for up to a year. They prefer to be active (feeding on their host) at night when the host is asleep.
Bed bugs are not easily found by the average person. They often hide in cracks and crevices, in sheets, mattress seams, electrical outlet plates, behind baseboards, and picture frames. They often piggyback traveler’s luggage and spread to other places. It is therefore best to have a professional bed bug exterminator inspect your home or building. At B & D Pest Solutions, we preform a thorough inspection of your home and determine the best bed bug extermination plan to move forward with.
How serious is the problem?
A bed bug can lay 200-500 eggs in the lifetime. With an adequate food supply and under a normal temperature, they can live for more than 300 days, and create a host of problems for you including:
- Disease: Bed bugs can carry disease, however they are not known to transmit infections to people.
- Bed bug bites: Different people may react differently to bed bug bites. While some may just get a red rash, others may experience severe itching, and even an allergic reaction to bed bug bites.
Our NJ Bed Bug Extermination Services
Bed bugs multiply quickly, so it is necessary to detect them early in order to prevent a larger infestation. B & D Pest Solutions follow an integrated approach that involves assessing the property, implementing solutions, and then monitoring any bed bug problems that may re-emerge.
