Why Bed Bugs Are So Persistent
Bed bugs are expert hitchhikers and hide in tiny cracks around beds, skirting, and soft furnishings. Eggs are resistant to many DIY products, so infestations often rebound. That’s why professional removal is essential for lasting results.
Signs You Need Professional Help
- Small, itchy bites in lines or clusters on arms, legs, or torso
- Dark spotting on sheets, mattress seams, or bed frames
