Fed Up Waking Up with Bites? We Understand—And We Can Help.
Bed bugs aren't just disgusting—they interfere with your sleep, your comfort, and your sanity. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we know how fast these pests can take over a house, and we're ready to help Hanover homeowners get back in control. Here's how we do it:
The first thing we do is work through your space from head to toe. Bed bugs adore tight, concealed areas. So we don't simply inspect the mattress—we inspect headboards, couches, baseboards, outlets, behind wall hangings… anywhere they might be hiding.
After we see where they're hiding, we eliminate the hot spots with techniques that penetrate well into the zone where bed bugs reside and where they lay their eggs. What we want is not merely to eliminate the visible bugs—but eliminate the entire process so they cannot return.
We don't leave you in the dark. We walk you through step-by-step how to prepare your space, what to bring, what to leave behind, and what to anticipate in the days after treatment. We keep it plain, simple, and to the point.
The majority need a follow-up, and we're all about getting the job done. If anything is still in play, we'll be back to finish squashing them—no questions asked. Let's Get You Sleeping Again Don't waste another night fighting bed bugs. We've got you covered. You sleep, we'll take care of the rest.
Waking up to itchy bites or waking up to find small blood spots on your sheets? You might have bed bugs. Bed bugs are stealthy bugs that rest during the day and come out at night to feed. Getting the signs early can save you time and money, so here are the most common signs of a bed bug infestation.
One of the initial things that people observe is tiny, red, itchy bites on their bodies. Bed bugs are blood-sucking insects that feed on you at night while you sleep. They tend to bite in lines or clusters of bites on exposed skin such as your arms, neck, or legs. They may swell up and become itchy and feel uncomfortable. If you observe these bites and you suspect that bed bugs are responsible, then the time has come to act.
Along with these indicators, upon feeding, bed bugs deposit tiny blood spots on the pillowcase, sheet, or mattress. The spots occur when an engorged feeding bed bug is squished or bleeds during the end of a feeding. Blood spots, particularly in unusual locations, are a good indicator of an active infestation.
Bed bugs also deposit tiny dark fecal spots. These spots are small, black or brown dots on your mattress seams, sheets, or furniture. If you notice these spots, especially around your bed, it means that there are bed bugs. The dark spots are due to the waste and feeding of the bed bugs.
When the bed bugs hatch, they shed their exoskeletons, which you can see lying around the bed or the furniture. They are white in color and resemble pieces of dust or dirt. You can also see very small pearl-shaped eggs or eggshells. These are some of the signs of bed bug infestation and indicate that they are breeding actively in your home.
In heavy infestations, bed bugs give off a sweet, musty smell. This is because of glands on their bodies and is more apparent when the infestation is heavy. If your bedroom has an unusual smell, it may be a sign of bed bugs.
If you notice any of these signs, don't delay. Bed bugs reproduce very fast, and the earlier you take care of them, the more protected you'll be.
Bed bugs are small but large pests. Reddish-brown and apple seed-sized, they feed on human blood, probably overnight. Bed bugs don't jump or fly around, as the public believes—rather, they crawl. Bed bugs are flat and can easily squeeze into tiny cracks, mattress seams, bed frames, furniture, and even behind electrical outlets.
One of the most common myths about bed bugs is that they only inhabit dirty houses. The reality is, bed bugs don't have any such discriminations. They infest the cleanest hotels, apartments, and residences. What they seek isn't filth—it's humans. Bed bugs are attracted to body heat, carbon dioxide, and the scent of skin.
A single female bed bug can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime, and therefore infestations are quick to form. Eggs hatch in a week, and the nymph bugs need to feed before they moult and develop into adults. It is more challenging to get rid of them without professional services.
Not all people react the same to bed bug bites. Some will have red, itching welts, while others will not react at all. Bites can be in a row or in a group, usually on exposed areas like the arms, legs, or neck. Since the bugs are nocturnal, many people do not realize they have been bitten until several days have passed.
Over-the-counter sprays and do-it-yourself remedies will kill some bugs, but seldom will they kill the entire infestation. Bed bugs are master hide-and-seekers and can live for months without feeding. For real results, you require a professional pest control expert who knows where to find them—and how to treat them from all angles.
