Bed bugs are one of the most stressful pests to encounter, and unfortunately, they are becoming increasingly common across South Florida, including Pompano Beach. These small, reddish-brown insects hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and even furniture cracks, making them difficult to spot until an infestation grows.
The presence of just one bed bug can quickly escalate into a full-blown infestation since females can lay hundreds of eggs in their lifetime. They feed on human blood at night, leaving behind itchy red bites, small blood stains on sheets, and dark fecal spots near sleeping areas.
Residents of Pompano Beach should be particularly cautious because the area’s warm climate creates ideal conditions for bed bug survival. Hotels, apartments, and shared living spaces are especially at risk due to the high turnover of guests and tenants.
What to Do:
-
Inspect your bed, couch, and upholstered furniture regularly.
-
Wash bedding and clothes in hot water and dry them on high heat.
-
Avoid bringing used furniture into your home without proper inspection.
-
Call a professional pest control service for thorough treatment — DIY sprays often fail to eliminate eggs and hidden clusters.
Early detection and swift professional action are key to preventing bed bugs from taking over your home.
