Bed bug Control

  Bed bugs are a common problem once controlled,  but now spreading again. They get place-to-place by hitch-hiking on people clothing. Another way they spread is by people bring in used or discarded furniture like box springs, mattress, bed frame, sofa or chairs

   In the photo above, you have a family of bed bugs. The little white oblong things you see are bed bugs eggs. The football shape bed bugs are nymphs around two-three weeks old. The shield shape are adults. The light brown thing in the center is a discarded skin (bed bug grow by shedding their skin). The dark spots are waste and finally, the various small bed bugs you see are after they had first or second blood meal. Bed bugs can grow from egg to adult in 21 days. Bed bugs need a blood meal to reproduce.

  Bed bugs are a problem most people won’t be able to handle on their own. Call H L Cooper Pest Control (804) 310-7644 for free estimate.
