I have seen a significant decrease in the last several months that I started with 1st Response. Ron is very committed to getting the problem fixed and is very knowledgeable and a great guy! He knows his pests!- Tina M.

On time, professional. He even went into my attic through a very small, inconvenient entryway in the top of a closet. He educated me about mice and inspected every inch of my place, inside and out. The office staff was great, too!- Rene L.

Thank God! But the gentleman from 1st Response saw something on the traps and came back several times to take care of the issue. He was always professional, polite and handled everything with care. Kudos!!- Michelle W.

Are Bed Bugs Harmful To Your Health?
Bed bugs are not known to carry or spread disease. However, this does not mean they are not a risk to health in other ways.
Bed bugs cause itchy reactions to human skin. The bite may resemble that of a mosquito, leaving skin red, itchy, or inflamed. Such bites can cause excessive scratching, which may lead to a secondary skin infection.
Bed bugs also annoy you and increase your stress levels. Due to the fact that they commonly bite humans as they sleep, they can also deprive you of your needed hours of rest, leaving you susceptible to increased stress, a lowered immune system, and overall exhaustion.

What to Know About Bed Bugs
What Do Bed Bugs Look Like?
Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped bugs, typically brown in color, but once filled with blood, they will become reddish in color. The bug lives off of the blood of a human or animal.
An adult bed bug is the approximate size of an apple seed. However, the body of the bug will swell once filled with blood. Bed bugs do not fly. They can, however, move at a fast pace across surfaces in your home. They also do not nest, but a female bed bug can lay hundreds of eggs (as small as a speck of dust) in her lifetime.
Signs Of Bed Bugs In Your Home
Have you ever woken up and had itchy patches on your skin that were not there when you went to bed? Have you recently purchased used furniture? Did you travel with luggage?
Any of these scenarios can show signs of bed bugs in your Powell home. Some typical hallmarks of a bed bug infestation include:
- Bloodstains on pillows or bedding
- Dark, rust-colored spots on sheets, mattresses, bedclothes, or walls
- Bed bug fecal spots, eggshells, or shed skin
- An offensive, musty odor
To carefully check for such infestations, homeowners should remove all bedding from the bed. You should also remove a dust cover from the box springs to check the wood framing for signs of bed bugs.
Bed bugs can also be as narrow as the width of a credit card, meaning they can easily hide in spaces such as carpet, telephones or radios, inside books, or even electrical outlets in your home.
