Bed Bug?
The name “bed bug” derives from the preferred habitat of feeding on humans while they sleep in near or inside beds and bedding or other sleep areas. Bed bugs are mainly active at night and feed on their hosts without being noticed. Body length is less than a ¼”, and round flat shape and body light reddish brown. They can hide in a very narrow crack.

Preparation
Preparation: If the inspection confirms an infestation, we will recommend a treatment plan based on the severity of the infestation and your preferences. We will provide you a written preparation sheet specific to your situation. Preparation vary based on treatment type or methods.
Note: New furniture should not be purchased until the home is completely free of the bugs. If even a few are still present, they can repopulate and infest the furniture. Old furniture that has become infested should also not be taken through the home, as this can spread the infestation.
