The traveling bug
Bed bugs are hitchhikers, meaning that they can hitch a ride on a bag of luggage or on your shirt after you have visited an infested location. Once they find a new home, they start making a new family, causing headaches and discomfort once you are aware of their existence. They are small in size, which makes them difficult to see, and they are difficult to find because they are not active during the day. They can hide in mattresses, bed frames, furniture, carpets, baseboards, and bedding.
You don’t, however, have to locate an actual bed bug to identify an infestation. The brown, black, or rust-colored excrement they leave behind on walls and linens, as well as the bloodstains from them being crushed can be easy to see. If you see these signs, call your trusty bed bug exterminators at Noble Way Pest Control, who proudly have been treating bed bugs in Sacramento for over 30 years.
How do you get bed bugs?
Bed bugs can get into your home from being transported from other infested places. They can come in on used furniture, ride in your luggage, in your purse, on backpacks, or on other items that are placed on upholstered surfaces. One of the most troubling aspects about bed bugs is that they can travel between rooms in hotels, multi-unit buildings, and apartment complexes. If your apartment neighbor has bed bugs, then keep an eye out for any signs of bed bugs in your home. You can avoid bringing bed bugs into your home by putting your luggage on a suitcase stand when in hotels, and by closely examining any new furniture you are bringing into your home.
The Importance of Acting Fast
When it comes to bed bugs, time is not on your side. A single pregnant female can lay up to five eggs per day, meaning a minor issue can escalate into a full-blown infestation in a matter of weeks. The longer you wait, the more time these pests have to spread from the initial site to other rooms, furniture, and even into wall voids. Early intervention is crucial for containing the problem, simplifying the treatment process, and restoring your home to a safe, comfortable state much faster.
How Can You Control The Problem?
Again, once you have identified some of the signs of a bed bug infestation, like bloodstains, brown or rust-colored excrement, or shedded skin, you can start integrating pest management. Here are a couple of DIY bed bug treatment options you can try at your home before an expert is able to professionally treat the infestation.
Move your bed away from the wall and other furniture.
Isolating your bed creates a barrier, making it more difficult for bed bugs to climb up from the floor. Ensure that no bedding is touching the wall or the floor, as this provides a bridge for them to travel.
Vacuum and sweep your space every day
Regular vacuuming is a great way to reduce the bed bug population by removing live bugs, eggs, and debris. Immediately dispose of the vacuum bag or sealed contents outside to prevent reinfestation.
Wash your blankets, bed skirts, and sheets.
Washing all your bedding in hot water and drying it on the highest heat setting will kill bed bugs at every life stage. Once clean, store the items in a sealed plastic bag until the infestation is gone.
Seal cracks and crevices around your home.
Bed bugs can hide in the smallest of spaces, so sealing cracks in your walls, baseboards, and furniture with caulk can eliminate their hiding spots. This simple step can make treatment more effective.
The Risks of Relying Solely on DIY Methods
While proactive DIY measures like vacuuming and washing fabrics are important supportive steps in tackling a bed bug problem, relying on them alone is often not enough for complete eradication. The primary risk comes from over-the-counter chemical treatments, like sprays and foggers, which typically lack the potency to eliminate an entire infestation. These products can fail to reach the deep hiding spots where bed bugs congregate, often causing them to scatter and spread to new areas of your home. For a truly effective solution, your DIY efforts should be paired with a professional treatment plan from Noble Way Pest Control to ensure the core infestation is eliminated.
The Noble Way's Bed Bug Treatment Process
Our approach to bed bug control is comprehensive and meticulous, beginning with a detailed inspection that goes far beyond a simple visual check.

Our goal is not just to reduce the population but to eradicate it completely, using follow-up visits to guarantee the infestation is fully resolved!
Preparing for Your Professional Bed Bug Service
To ensure your professional bed bug treatment is as effective as possible, some preparation is necessary. Start by decluttering the infested rooms to eliminate hiding spots and provide clear access for our technicians. You will need to launder all bedding, linens, and clothing in the affected areas using the hottest settings on your washer and dryer. Bag and seal these clean items to prevent re-infestation. It's also essential to vacuum floors, carpets, and furniture thoroughly, immediately disposing of the vacuum bag in a sealed container outside your home.
