Bed Bugs Versus Bat Mites<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Most people have heard stories of bed bug infestations, and many have even experienced it for themselves. The usual signs include itching, red bumps and bites, and minuscule bugs in your linens and bed sheets. To get rid of them, people have used exterminators, aerosol sprays, and insecticide treatments to kill and remove the \u201cbed bug\u201d problem.\u00a0 What some find, is that the infestation eventually comes back. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is most likely because they treatment administered\nwasn\u2019t strong enough, or the infestation isn\u2019t bed bugs at all, its bat mites. Bat\nmites behave very similar to bed bugs. They are tiny parasitic insects that\ncling to a host and can live up to one year if the climate is agreeable. They\nlive sustainably in dark and narrow areas, just like bats, which is why bats\nare their favorite hosts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Get Rid of Bat Mites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

⚠ No matter how many times your house is fumigated, disinfected,\nand treated, BAT MITES WILL NEVER GO AWAY unless you get rid of the bats, first!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard extermination services are not the correct treatment for bat mites. So long as their host remains, bat mites will continue to breed and reproduce at an exponential rates. Once the bat colonies are cleared from the area and proper preventative maintenance is implemented to ensure there will be no more future bat break-ins, you are on your way to a pest-free living space. This is when you can begin to properly clean and sanitize the area for bat mites. Keep in mind that bats can also carry and transmit fleas, lice, and ticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
