People Call Them Bed Bugs

January 4, 2019

People call them bed bugs. The name makes people think they only infest beds.

However, we see bed bugs everywhere. Of course, we see them most often in beds, couches, and chairs. These are places we sit or lay still which allows the bugs time to feed. We also see them in unusual places around the home like bathrooms, kitchens, garages, outside on the front porch, and climbing up exterior walls. They won’t live long outside because other insects will eat them.

So, how do they get in my bed? They don’t just appear one day! These bugs hitch hike or walk through the unusual places in search of a host (You and your family). Remember they are an insect that needs to feed to survive.

It’s interesting how many people discover bed bugs in their home and say “I know where they came from”. In reality the introduction of a bed bug could have come from anywhere. They are hitchhikers, so you may have picked one up while you were out in public. They are often found in cars, buses, airplanes, restaurants, schools, doctors offices, hospitals, day care centers, your work, summer camps, and hotels. Maybe someone brought one to you when they visited. It’s hard to say.

Regardless, be aware that they are everywhere — especially in Oklahoma City. If you see bed bugs call Armor & Shield at 405-698-6090.

Don’t take our word for it

I am amazed to see the great quality of service provided by Moe and his team. They did outstanding bed bug heat treatments at our home and since then we are enjoying a healthy and safe life. The entire team is easy to work with and gave preference to the client's requirements. A big thanks to them for doing a fantastic job.
