Get Rid of Bed Bugs! Charleston – Sullivan’s Island

There are so many stories I have to share about working and helping people get rid of bed bugs. I’ll never forget the time this guy decided to rent a home on Sullivan’s Island. The house had been vacant per neighbors for over eight months, but was being rented as furnished. The guy moved in and for the first few weeks had no issues. Near the end of the month his buddy came to visit and stayed in a different part of the house. The next day his buddy had a rash that looked like hives and itched a lot. When he went to make up the bed he spotted a black tick looking bug crawling across it. As you can guess, this turned out to be a bed bug.

How long do Bed Bugs Live?

What really confused the renter was how could bed bugs be in the house when the neighbors had confirmed that it had been vacant for eight months?

The answer is that most bed bugs would have died out by four or five months, but a couple of stragglers had lingered on and were now in a feeding frenzy.

Bed Bug Bites

It’s also lucky that the buddy actually had a major reaction to being bitten because many folks don’t even react at all. If it were not for the friend having the reaction it could have been months before the guy discovered the home had bed bugs.

He called our company, texted over a photo of the bug they had found and we confirmed the identity of the bug as a bed bug. He hired us to do our Heat Remediation program which includes a post 30 day K9 inspection and a 90 day warranty. His case was resolved with first treatment and he is now very knowledgeable about bed bugs. His quick decision to hire a professional company was wise because his level of infestation was low and this always ensures that treatment will be more effective.
