How our Bedbug Service Works

Bedbugs are small hitchhiker insects that infest people’s homes, usually hiding in beds and near linens. Aruza recommends a house-wide approach for *true* Bedbug free peace of mind.

How Bedbug Infestations Start

Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on human blood. They’re about the size of an apple seed and they are experts at hiding in hard-to-reach places. Bed bugs prefer to dwell in close proximity to humans, which is why they’re often found in mattresses, bedding, headboards, and especially around linens.

An infestation can start in various ways, but it typically involves bed bugs hitchhiking their way into your home. Here are the most common entry points:

Travel:

Bed bugs are notorious travelers, often hitching rides on luggage, clothing, or personal items during trips. Staying in infested hotels or hostels can also increase the risk of bringing bed bugs home.

Second-hand furniture:

Purchasing used furniture or accepting hand-me-downs can introduce bed bugs into your living space. Inspect items like pillows or throws carefully before purchasing and bringing them inside.

Neighbors:

Bed bugs can move from one unit to another in multi-family dwellings, such as apartments or condos. If your neighbor has an infestation, it’s possible for bed bugs to find their way into your home.

Public transportation:

Bed bugs can be found on buses, trains, or other forms of public transportation. Be cautious with your belongings when commuting.
