As a professional exterminator in Colorado Springs I thought I would like to make mention of the rise of bed bug infestations I have seen in the last 18 months.
In the past, most infestations were mainly in public places, such as bed and breakfasts, hotels, and college dorms. However, lately, most of the calls to exterminate bed bugs have been from local homes, and apartments.
The most likely reason for this is that bed bugs have become more resilient and resistant to pesticides and the can now survive months, without feeding, not just in beds, but also walls and curtains.
Please call a professional immediately if you are suspicious of these creatures.
