A new client of Cowleys in Belmar, NJ contacted our office complaining of unknown bug bite marks all over his legs. I had a suspicion it was bed bugs but still needed to conduct a thorough inspection.
Started in the Bedroom and Found
I began my inspection in the bedroom and sure enough, I found bed bugs in the cracks between the bed frame.
Hiding in the Cracks.
I flipped over the bed frame and found a bed bug in the countersink. Bed bugs like to hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment.
Plugged In
As I investigated the room and I noticed some bed bug droppings near an outlet. I examined it and found several bed bugs and eggs on a splitter.
More in the Living Room
I continued my inspection to the pullout sofa in the living room. I investigated and found bed bug and their droppings on the wooden frame.
Even Found Them In...
They were even on the books and instructional manuals!
Time to Treat
I proceed to vacuum and removed all the visual bed bugs and eggs. Afterwards, I applied a liquid application of a non repellent
residual combined with growth regulator to stop the fast reproduction of every bed bug. I scheduled a follow up inspection to monitor the bed bugs and apply additional treatment if necessary.
