Frequently Asked Questions
How do exterminators get rid of bed bugs?
There are a variety of strategies an exterminator can use to get rid of bed bugs. Connect with an Orkin Pro to create an effective bed bug treatment plan for your home and learn more about what exterminators use for bed bugs.
Can bed bugs live in the cold?
With the ability to adapt to cooler temperatures, bed bugs can thrive in a number of conditions. The hitchhiking pests are not choosy when it comes to where they hide or who they feed on. As long as blood meals are available, a bed bug will persist.
Does bleach kill bed bugs?
Laundering your linens may temporarily rid them of bed bugs. However, bed bugs spread quickly, and are not easily exterminated by homeowners. Orkin bed bug treatments can include pesticides or heat treatments.
Where do bed bugs bite?
The short answer — wherever it suits them. Bed bugs feed on blood, so you, your family, and pets are their buffet table.
Do bed bugs jump?
Bed bugs do not have wings and are not capable of flight; they mostly move around by crawling or attaching themselves to hosts.
Where do bed bugs hide?
Bed bugs hide in linens such as bedding, furniture, luggage, or just about any place where there is a crack or crevice. They are nocturnal pests that bite people and feed on their blood during the night. As residents sleep, the insects leave their hiding spots to find a host. Home infestations typically occur in mattresses or couches.
