What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on blood and usually hide close to where people sleep or rest. They can be difficult to find because they shelter in mattress seams, bed frames, furniture, baseboards and other narrow spaces.

Bed Bug Behaviour

Bed bugs are most active at night, but they may come out at other times when a host is nearby. They can spread between rooms or properties on clothing, luggage, furniture and other belongings.

GL Pest Controls Superior Extermination Process

Our bed bug treatment process starts with an assessment of the property. From there, we recommend an approach based on the size of the infestation, the affected rooms and the needs of the household.

We inspect the affected areas, look for signs of bed bug activity and discuss what you have noticed. This helps us understand the likely extent of the infestation and provide clear pricing before treatment begins.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Gilles Lambert come and inspect the outside of our house for entrypoints, and seal up any holes. They sealed up about 6 potential entries total. Quote was reasonable, the service guy was quick, and the company was super communicative. No complaints, and will use again in the future if needed!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a problem with wasps, called Gilles, and a service call was scheduled for the same day.  Noah came that evening, sprayed the nest, and returned a few days later to confirm that the wasps were gone.  He was great - very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly!
I worked with Gilles many years ago and knew him to have a high work ethic ... it is evident that his crew has the same approach to thoroughness and customer service.  Very much appreciated!  And very highly recommended!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of Bed Bugs?

A good way to detect bed bugs is by learning the signs that you have them. Bed bugs themselves are about 4-5 mm long, round, reddish-brown and wingless. They go through many life cycles during which they moult, so one sign of bed bugs is their cast off skin. Given that bed bugs drink blood, when they are crushed they may leave reddish-brown stains if they were swollen with blood at the time; this is another sign you may have a bed bug infestation.

You may also see black droppings (their feces); of course, seeing a bed bug is a sure sign that you need an exterminator. Another sign that you may have bed bugs is a smell similar to rotting raspberries; most insects give off an unpleasant scent, especially when they’re massed. This scent can be difficult for humans to detect, but dogs may be more sensitive to the smell and thus trained to detect it.

What are some common Bed Bug Myths?

There are a few misconceptions about bed bugs. The first is that they prefer dirty homes; this is not accurate. Bed bugs feed on blood, preferably the blood of humans, so a dirty home doesn’t convey any advantages to them. A messy home, however, will give bed bugs a greater number of suitable hiding spots, so the cleaner your home is, the easier bed bugs might be to detect. Another common misconception about bed bugs is that they can infect you with transmittable diseases; so far, there have been no confirmed cases of diseases being transmitted by bed bugs. That said, bed bugs can act as hosts for a wide variety of diseases that can infect humans, and there is some concern among researchers that eventually these diseases will become transmittable to humans through bed bugs.

Where Do Bed Bugs Come From?

The spread of bed bug infestations has a strange history. For quite some time, they were present in up to 30% of household, but advances in extermination techniques in the 20th century eliminated most of them. The 1990s saw a huge surge in the number of bed bugs, and researchers point to a number of factors that might have played into the increase. The first is that we’re travelling more and more frequently, the second is the access the Internet gives us to second hand wares, and the third and most worrying is a growing resistance to insecticides. Today, Winnipeg is one of the most bed bug infested cities in all of Canada.

Where Do They Live?

Like most insects, bed bugs prefer to live in places where they will be hard to detect. They establish themselves in crevices where little light can reach, away from the human eye. The name bed bug, then, has two sources; they bite you when you’re in bed, and they tend to gather under and around beds. That doesn’t mean beds are the only spot you can find the parasites, though; they can also lurk in couches, in clothing, or any other dark places with nice crevices to hide in. They can also spread fairly quickly; if an apartment has easily accessible ductwork or cracks between suites, the bed bugs can move from place to place. Bed bugs do not exist in hives like bees or ants, but they do tend to congregate together in well-hidden and insulated enclaves; even unused power sockets and bedside clutter can make welcome homes for bed bugs.

Can bed bugs cause health problems?

Though bed bugs can’t transmit diseases which might affect your health, they can certainly cause a lot of health problems. The most obvious physical concern is bed bug bites, which can cause red marks, intense itching and rashes. Those who are particularly sensitive to bites may also experience urticaria, commonly known as hives or bumps; rarely, a person may have severe allergies to the bite, which can cause a medical emergency known as anaphylaxis. Scratching bites can rupture the skin and introduce bacteria, causing skin infections. In very severe infestations, so much blood may be lost that a person experiences anemia. These physical effects are just one of the many reasons it’s a good idea to get an exterminator right away if you have bed bugs. People often wonder how to identify bed bug bites Winnipeg?

The mental effects of bed bug bites follow the physical effects, and are in some ways even worse. The constant itching and fear that bed bugs cause can increase a person’s stress levels dramatically, causing loss of sleep and chronic anxiety. The most severe infestations can cause a paranoia of bed bugs, known as delusional parasitosis. Those with families can be even more severely affected, because seeing the stress and pain of loved ones takes a serious psychological toll.

How to identify bed bug bites Winnipeg?

Bed bug bites typically appear as small, red, itchy, and raised bumps, often arranged in lines or clusters of three to five, frequently referred to as "breakfast, lunch, and dinner". They commonly occur on exposed skin like the face, neck, arms, and legs. Reactions vary, ranging from none at all to severe allergic reactions and swelling.

Can I get same-day or emergency bed bug treatment in Winnipeg?

Same-day or next-day appointments may be available, depending on the schedule and the type of treatment required. Call us as soon as you notice signs of bed bugs so we can discuss the situation and offer the earliest suitable appointment.
