Bed bugs can be hard to find for those who aren’t sure what they should be looking for. Even when bites appear, some individuals do not react to them, while others might mistake them for mosquito bites.
Adult bedbugs are roughly the size of an apple seed and are reddish-brown, flat, and wingless. Upon feeding, they swell up and turn bright red. Younger bed bugs go through five stages before reaching adulthood, and at the smallest size are very difficult to spot.
Other signs include moulted skins, fecal spots on your mattress or bedding, and bloodstains on your pyjamas and sheets.

How To … Pest Control
Helping our Coquitlam customers with DIY questions.
The first step is to roll up your sleeves and start looking for them.
Bed bugs are tiny, nocturnal insects that are masters at hiding just about anywhere in your home.
Check your mattress, bedding, box spring, headboard, and bed frame; bed bugs don’t live far from their food source.
Visible signs of a bed bug infestation include clusters of small red or brown spot stains, shed bed-bug skins, and eggs on your bedding and mattress.
They can also be found behind wallpaper and picture frames, in the folds of curtains, under carpets, in furniture, and even inside clocks, phones, televisions, smoke detectors, and electrical sockets.
If you do find live or dead bed bugs, we recommend that you collect a sample in a closed container and bring it to a professional pest control company for positive identification.
You need to correctly identify the pest before you can plan an effective treatment.
Early detection is vital when it comes to successfully eliminating bed bugs. If you think you have a bed bug problem, it is important to act quickly.

Testimonials from Clients in Coquitlam
I have used Solutions Pest Control a few times now. Consistently, they offer a valued experience, friendly and efficient service and are knowledgeable. In my case, control treatment every few years is necessary and they always keep a record to be able to offer me the best deal and appropriate service. I would recommend Solutions Pest Control.
This is the best pest control company I have ever dealt with. They have vast knowledge about “critters”, solid investigative techniques, and proven interventions. They are approachable, flexible, and easy to deal with. I live in a heavily wooded area, with lots of creatures. They have resolved some very challenging issues with pests that I have not been able to address on my own, resulting in me and my tenants being able to once again live without stress, fear, and disgust at seeing unwelcome guests in our home. I am extremely grateful!
I phoned for wasps nest removal and they were there in less than 2 hours. The problem wasn’t actually a nest so they dusted the area to stop wasps returning this season. They only charged half of the quote – unheard of nowadays. A COMPANY WITH HIGH MORAL STANDARDS!!! I was impressed with the office lady and with the technician -both pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
I am extremely impressed with this company! Very professional and they call back and do check-ups!! My last company never did that! When they come they always come to me and let me know they are here and then I get reports from them! I take my job very seriously and I expect the same in return, and they have done all of this and more!!! They are a keeper!!!!
