Bed bugs are more than just a nuisance—they’re resilient, sneaky, and difficult to eliminate without professional help. At Rock Pest, we want you to understand what you’re dealing with, how to spot an infestation early, and why our approach gives you the best chance of sleeping soundly again.
🐞 What Are Bed Bugs?
- Small, flat, reddish-brown insects (about the size of an apple seed)
- Feed on human blood—usually while you’re asleep
- Hide in mattress seams, bed frames, baseboards, and even electrical outlets
- They don’t jump or fly, but they travel easily through luggage, furniture, and clothing.

🔍 Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Bed bugs are excellent hiders, but there are telltale signs:
- Red, itchy bites (usually in a line or cluster)
- Rust-colored stains on sheets or mattress from crushed bugs
- Tiny white eggs or shed skins in mattress crevices
- Musty odor in heavily infested rooms
- Live bugs in seams, corners, or furniture joints
⚠️ Why DIY Bed Bug Treatment Usually Fails
Over-the-counter sprays and home remedies often kill a few bugs on contact—but don’t eliminate the colony. Bed bugs are:
- Resistant to many pesticides
- Capable of hiding in deep, hard-to-reach areas
- Excellent at reproducing quickly (females lay up to 500 eggs in their lifetime)
Attempting DIY often spreads the infestation further or gives it time to worsen—leading to more bites, stress, and money spent.
