In recent years, bed bugs have made a troubling comeback, much to the dismay of apartment building owners and hospitality industry managers.<\/p>

The situation becomes particularly concerning in areas with high population movement.<\/p>

These small pests travel easily through luggage or infested furniture (especially mattresses) and spread rapidly throughout the Greater Montreal area.<\/p>

It is important to remain cautious when returning from trips abroad or when bringing used items into your home.<\/p>

IDENTIFICATION & LIFESTYLE<\/h4>

Bed bugs vary in size depending on their stage of development. They are oval-shaped, about the size of a pencil eraser when fully grown, reddish-brown in color, and have flat bodies.\n\nWhen feeding, they attach to a host, consume blood, then retreat to hide and reproduce. Although they are not known to transmit diseases, they primarily infest bedrooms.<\/p>

You will typically find them close to their host: along mattress and box spring seams, bed frames, nightstands, behind wall-mounted frames, under peeling wallpaper, and especially along baseboards in the bedroom.<\/p>

In short, they stay close to you\u2014since they rely on your blood, which they feed on while you sleep.<\/p>

You may notice blood stains on your sheets and small black spots (droppings) along mattress seams.<\/p>

Their bites can be painful and may appear a few days after being bitten.<\/p>

TREATMENT<\/h4>

It is crucial to act quickly when facing a bed bug infestation, as the problem can rapidly worsen and spread within weeks.<\/p>

Our experts strongly recommend professional intervention to effectively eliminate this growing issue, which is difficult to control using household methods alone.<\/p>

A thorough inspection combined with a meticulous extermination process ensures the best results.<\/p>

Follow-up treatments may be necessary in cases of severe infestation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
