Are Bed Bugs a Concern for My Commercial Property? from Deanal David's blog

Business owners have a lot on their plates. They will need to worry about providing a great service or product to their customers from the moment that these individuals walk in the door. They need to take good care of their employees to ensure that there are no problems and that they are trained to help the customer. And then there are a million tasks that have to happen behind the scenes to keep the business going strong, like inventory and invoices and paychecks. With all of these things to get done, it is no wonder that pest control is going to be pushed so far down the list.

But this doesn’t mean that pest control is something that you should ignore as a business owner. You need to stick with good pest control from the start to ensure that you will be able to take over and not allow for an infestation to happen. And one of the pests that you need to keep your eyes on, no matter what type of business you are running, is the bed bug.

Just the name can make a lot of people squirm, which is why you need to take the time to look for this bug and not ignore it. Recognizing what it looks like and knowing some of the signs of this bug is a good place to start. Bed bugs are going to be flat, reddish-brown insects that are no bigger than the size of an apple seed. They are tiny and flat, unless they have just taken on a meal and then they become big and fat.

Homeowners and business owners alike are going to find that it is hard to find the bed bugs until there is a big infestation because they are so small and they like to hide in dark and small places like the seams of a mattress or corners. You will need to be on the lookout for them and have a pest control plan in place to handle them to avoid an infestation.
