How to Get Rid of Bed Bugs in Central Florida

Bed bugs in your home are like a nightmare come true. Their infestations are notorious for how quickly they spread and how many mattresses they’ve destroyed. To stop bed bugs, you need to get rid of them quickly and efficiently.

But don’t worry, we’re here to help you take back control of your space! You don’t have to go on lockdown when you spot an infestation. 

At Sorko Services, we know how upsetting bed bugs can be – from the stigma to the irritation. We’re experienced in handling bed bugs, which is why we’ve put together this guide to help rid your space of bed bugs.

Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?

Bed bugs are great at hiding and can spread quickly. They hide in luggage, clothing, and furniture, and spread wherever they can nest. You might get bed bugs from:

• Traveling and staying in hotels
• Buying used furniture
• Living in apartment buildings
• Bringing thrifted apparel home

These sneaky bugs can make you feel like your home isn’t safe anymore. Or that they’re impossible to get rid of – but they’re not!

Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation

Bed bugs are small, brownish insects that look like apple seeds and feed on blood – your blood, to be exact. Look out for these signs of a possible infestation in your space:

• Small, red bites on your skin
• Tiny brown spots on your sheets or mattress (droppings or blood stains)
• A musty smell
• Live bugs in the seams of your mattress or furniture

Catching bed bugs early can make getting rid of them easier. If you spot any of these signs, it’s time to take action. 

Where to Look for Bed Bugs

Checking for bed bugs yourself is a necessary first step to getting rid of bed bugs (if you have them). Strip your bed and check the mattress carefully, look in cracks and crevices of your bed frame, and check nearby furniture and baseboards.

While DIY checks are helpful, remember that bed bugs are experts at hiding. A professional inspection might catch what you miss. 

DIY Solutions

When you find bed bugs, you might want to try fixing the problem yourself. So here are some temporary solutions to getting rid of and preventing bed bugs yourself:

While these steps can help, they often don’t solve the whole problem. Bed bugs are tough and can survive many DIY treatments. So take these steps while you wait for an exterminator to come.
