Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
Are you battling a bed bug infestation at your home? These pesky parasites can be a real source of anxiety when you have very young children. To put your mind at ease, you must enlist the help of a bed bug extermination West Palm Beach professional before your infant or toddler gets bitten by a bed bug.
The best way to find out if your child was bitten by bed bugs is when you notice any of the four indicators of a bed bug infestation which include brown exoskeletons, tiny spots of blood on the sheets or pajamas, fecal stains on your bedding or mattress, and a strong musty smell.
In case you’re wondering, bed bug bites on a toddler’s skin look very much like the ones on adults – welts that are flat and red. Furthermore, it usually takes about 3 to 4 days for these welts to appear and in most cases, the bite marks may look like straight arrows, zigzag lines or small clusters on the arms, shoulders, and legs (the exposed areas during sleep). Since bed bugs are usually active at night, these blood-sucking creatures bite their victims while they’re sleeping.
Ifyour infant or toddler has been bitten, you must make sure that they don’tscratch the affected areas. Otherwise, this may lead to secondary infections.Initial itching may be alleviated by washing the bed bug bites with soap andwater. You can also choose to apply a cool compress, calamine lotion or anover-the-counter corticosteroid.
