Pets and Bed Bugs

If you have pets, you probably try to do everything to keep them healthy and happy. When bed bugs come into the picture, it isn’t just you that they are feeding on, but your pets as well. Protecting yourself and your family might be your utmost concern, but how do bed bugs affect your pets? Bed bugs can affect your pets in the same way they affect you. If you are experiencing itchy skin and welts, then your pet may be as well. In this blog, Bed Bug Heaters explains how bed bugs affect your pets, and details why professional assistance is necessary to thoroughly eradicate bed bugs from your home.
 
My Pet And I Have Bed Bugs, Now What?
If you you are suffering from a bed bug infestation, follow these steps to reduce the issue. First, begin purging your belongings of bed bugs. If possible, have someone work with you by cleaning your pet’s toys, bed, and kennel. Remember, bed bugs are not like fleas or ticks. They rarely stay on the skin for long periods of time. They feed at night and hide during the day. Start by cleaning your pet’s carrier thoroughly. Then clean all their toys and belongings. This task may seem tedious, but it will provide your pet with some relief until you can contact the experts at Bed Bug Heaters to help you successfully eradicate bed bugs from your home.

Why Is Professional Assistance Necessary?
Bed bugs can be very difficult pests to get rid of. Bug Bombs from the store and anti-flea or anti-tick products cannot successfully keep bed bugs at bay. Thermal treatments are effective in eradicating bed bug infestations. It is better to be proactive than wait until the infestation gets out of control.
