Bed Bug 101: Know everything about the critters sleeping with you in bed.

The Basics

Often mistaken for fleas or small cockroaches, these pests are brown, small, and oval-shaped. They grow to about the size of a small seed and possess naturally flat bodies that swell to a bulb shape when full.

Bed bugs get their name from the bed – usually found in or around beds, bed bugs strategically place themselves in the easiest areas where they can feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals while we rest or sleep.

Though they have no wings, bed bugs are surprisingly quick and pesky critters, with the ability to walk and crawl over all types of surfaces. But their primary means of getting around is hitchhiking – by clinging onto unsuspecting humans and human items and settling in wherever they go. A single bed bug can lay over five hundred eggs in its lifetime. Their eggs can be easily confused with a speck of dust.

How Bed Bugs Feed

Bed bug pests in New Jersey are attracted to the biological signatures that humans and other animals naturally give off, particularly while we are asleep.

These pests can sense the carbon dioxide from our breath as well as our body heat, and the longer we stay at rest in a single location, the more drawn they become to that place. This is why beds and couches are biggest hot spots for bed bug infestations.

Bed bugs generally only feed at night while its hosts are asleep. The bite causes little to no pain, and it can take 5-10 minutes of sucking for the bed bug to be satisfied. Afterwards, the bed bug returns to its hiding spot – typically deep inside your mattress, pillows, or bed frame – and stays hidden for weeks at a time before coming out again for its next meal.

Why Bed Bugs Are So Hard to Spot

Small, sneaky, and remarkably hardy. Bed bugs are frustratingly perfect for seemingly overnight infestations. Not only are they incredibly small, their eggs are also the size of specks of dust. When they are flat, their bodies are about as wide as a credit card, meaning they can squeeze into the tightest spots. Common areas include headboards, bedframes, box springs, and mattresses, but they can also be found in stuffed toys, bedside tables and lamps, curtains, and other permanent items around your bed.

NJ Bed bug pests also have a habit of only coming out at night, meaning unless you are looking for them, you will rarely ever spot them. If bed bugs are allowed to spread, they will move to other parts of the bedroom and eventually the rest of the house. If you notice a bed bug anywhere other than your bedroom, chances are you’ve got a serious problem on your hands.

Bed Bugs Are Not Your Enemy; Negligence Is

In most cases, homeowners are reluctant to admit that they have a bed bug problem. It might start with a bit of itching when you wake up in the morning, and the small voice in the back of your mind wondering what might have caused it. We might think it’s a normal itch, or prefer to think of it as a one-off bite from another kind of passing insect.For one reason or another, we don’t like admitting that we have a bed bug problem. Maybe we think of it as a sign of poor home hygiene or a filthy home, or maybe we don’t want to deal with the reality of an actual infestation. But bed bug infestations do not necessarily mean you have a dirty home.

In almost all cases of NJ home infestations, the initial bed bugs were brought in from the outside. They cling onto bags, clothes, hair, and skin, picked up from hotels, college dorms, and certain public areas. All it takes is two to three bed bugs coming in to turn a home into a bed bug haven, if left unchecked. If you start seeing signs of a possible bed bug, don’t just let it pass. It takes just 10 days for a bed bug egg to hatch, and seven weeks for it to grow into an adult that can reproduce. Waiting for more serious signs before doing anything about it can result in your home experiencing a complete infestation in no time. Bed bug infestations are as much about negligence as they are about bed bug ingenuity. Control bed bug problems before they get out of hand by contacting the right exterminator business before it’s too late.

Bed Bug Need-To-Knows

Bed bugs can infest all parts of your home, including purses, stuffed animals, bedside lamps, chairs, and more.

Bed bugs are one of the most common pest problem Americans experience, with over half of homes experiencing some level of bed bug presence, and about 20% experiencing a full infestation.

Summer is the worst time for infestations due to increased travel to vacations and students coming back from college,

Bed bugs are EVERYWHERE: 59% of nursing homes, 47% of schools and daycare centers, 46% of offices, 45% of school dorms, 36% of hospitals, and 19% of public transportation.

Most people confuse bed bugs with other pests, with 84% of homes misdiagnosing their bed bug infestation as another bug, such as fleas or cockroaches.

A full infestation generally occurs before homeowners are even aware of the problem, as bed bug bite reactions can take several days before they develop.

Signs of Bed Bug Infestation

Small, vague stains of blood on your pillowcases and sheets
Signs of shed insect skin and egg shells in corners and tight spaces around your bed
Unusual, musty odor around the bed caused by bed bug scent glands
Signs of feces – dark spots around or on the bed, such as bed sheets, mattress, and walls

To better investigate your NJ home, strip your area of all beddings and check the sides, back, and front of the mattress. Inspect the bedframe and headboard, including any pinches or crevices that might be along the surface. For further inspection, check out any items that might sit next to your bed, such as the bedside table, lamp, and any stuffed toys or side blankets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I have bed bugs?

Signs of a bed bug infestation include waking up with small, itchy red bites—often in a line or cluster—on exposed skin. Other indicators are small rust-colored stains on sheets or mattresses (from crushed bugs), tiny dark spots (fecal matter), shed skins, and a musty sweet odor in the bedroom.

How did bed bugs get into my home?

Bed bugs are exceptional hitchhikers. They travel via luggage, used furniture, clothing, and even hotel stays. They don’t jump or fly—they cling to fabric and move from host to host. Hotels, airplanes, movie theaters, and secondhand furniture are among the most common sources.

Can I get rid of bed bugs without professional help?

Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to eliminate without professional treatment. DIY products may kill surface bugs but rarely reach eggs hidden in mattress seams, wall voids, or electrical outlets. A single surviving pregnant female can restart an infestation. Professional heat or insecticide treatment by PermaKill is the only reliable solution.

What treatment methods does PermaKill use for bed bugs?

PermaKill uses a combination of targeted residual chemical treatments applied to bed frames, mattress seams, baseboards, furniture joints, and other harborage areas. Treatment is thorough and systematic to eliminate all life stages—eggs, nymphs, and adults—across multiple visits if necessary.

How many treatment visits are needed to eliminate bed bugs?

Typically, 2–3 treatment visits are required to fully eliminate a bed bug infestation, spaced about 2 weeks apart. This accounts for the egg-to-nymph cycle. PermaKill will assess your specific situation and create a treatment schedule designed to fully break the reproduction cycle.

Do I need to throw away my mattress if I have bed bugs?

In most cases, no. A properly treated mattress—combined with a bed bug-proof encasement—can be retained safely. Disposal is sometimes necessary in severe cases, but PermaKill’s technicians will advise you specifically based on the condition and infestation level of your mattress.

How long do I need to be out of my home during bed bug treatment?

After a traditional treatment, most residents need to vacate for approximately 4 hours while the products dry and ventilate. Your PermaKill technician will provide specific preparation instructions before the appointment and clearance guidelines before you re-enter.

How can I prevent bed bugs when traveling?

Inspect hotel mattresses and headboards before sleeping. Keep luggage on hard surfaces—never on the bed or floor. Bag worn clothing immediately after a trip and wash everything in hot water upon returning home. Inspect any secondhand furniture thoroughly before bringing it into your home.

Are bed bug treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes. PermaKill uses EPA-registered products and adheres to strict safety protocols. Children and pets should be removed from treated rooms during application and until surfaces are dry. Your technician will provide a full safety briefing before treatment begins. When used according to label directions by licensed professionals, modern Pest Control Methods are safe for families, including children and pets.

How much does bed bug treatment cost in New Jersey?

The cost varies based on the number of rooms affected and the severity of the infestation. PermaKill Exterminating provides free inspections and upfront quotes. As a local NJ company, their pricing is transparent and competitive—call today to schedule your free consultation.
