All The Ways Bed Bugs Spread About The LeClaire Area
Bed bugs are the consummate hitchhikers. They can’t jump or fly and don’t walk very fast, so they spread by climbing up onto your clothing, bags, or other belongings that you then carry into your home.
Bed bugs are just about everywhere you’d see people congregating, including:
- Churches
- Schools
- Daycare centers
- Retail stores
- Hotels and motels
- Libraries
- Hospitals
- Movie theaters
- Restaurants
- Public transportation
However, hitchhiking on you isn’t the only way bed bugs can find their way into your home. If you buy new or second-hand furniture or electrical appliances such as stereos or TVs, you should check your purchases carefully for signs of bed bugs before you bring them into your home. Some of those signs are:
Dark red, brown, or black spots where the bed bugs have defecated
Yellow to tan shed skin from when the bed bugs molt
Small, pearly white eggs in groups of up to five
Actual bed bugs, which are ¼ inch long, brown, oval, and very flat and can hide in the seams of upholstered furniture, in screw holes in wooden furniture, and inside electronics
Fortunately, Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators has decades of experience in LeClaire bed bug control, so we can get rid of this pest to bring you and your family peace of mind. Contact us today about scheduling a free inspection so we can eradicate the bed bugs from your home.
What To Do About Bats On Your LeClaire Property
Bats on your LeClaire property can cause serious problems, including the transmission of disease and severe property damage if left unchecked. First, bats can transmit a fungal disease called histoplasmosis through their guano, or droppings. If you inhale dust or come into contact with bat guano, you are at risk of becoming seriously ill.
About 10% of bats also carry rabies, which can be fatal if left untreated. Fortunately, bats only bite if they feel threatened. If you leave them alone, they’ll leave you alone. Unfortunately, they can transmit rabies if all you do is touch them. It’s critical that you not touch them bare-handed. If you do, seek immediate medical attention to be on the safe side.
The property damage bats can cause comes from their guano. If you have a large enough colony of bats nesting on your property, they can leave enough guano on your roof to collapse it. It’s surprising, but each bat leaves 20 to 30 droppings every day, multiplied by 100 to several thousand bats, and you wind up with some serious weight.
Since bats are a protected species, at Quik-Kill Pest Eliminators, we follow a three-step bat exclusion process for bat control in LeClaire. First, we identify the entrances bats are using to get in and out of your home. Then, we seal all the other gaps except the main entrance. Finally, we install one-way doors so the bats can leave but not return. Contact us today for your free inspection.
