Neighboring apartment

If your neighbors are not too clean and regular cleaning in the house they are not peculiar, then sooner or later they will have bedbugs. Over time, these parasites will migrate to your living space, as there are many ways for such relocation.

How to check whether there are bedbugs in your apartment?

If you suspect the appearance of bedbugs indoors, it is worth paying attention to some signs of the presence of insects:

1. If you notice the night activity of incomprehensible insects, but in the daytime you can not find anyone, then for sure you have bedbugs. These parasites lead an exceptionally nocturnal life. The mode of pests of this species is arranged so that they eat around 3 o'clock in the morning, when a person is fast asleep and practically does not feel the movements of parasites.
2. Bites on the skin are difficult to confuse with other irritants, because they are arranged in a certain order. This is due to the fact that bedbugs make a series of bites, without stopping its movement in one direction.
3. Also on the presence of parasites is the presence of blood on the sheets. At the time of saturation, the insect becomes inactive and loses its natural invulnerability. Turning in a dream, a person, without knowing it himself, can crush an insect, and as a result - on the sheet will remain a bloody speck.
4. When bedbugs become too much, you can clearly catch the smell, reminiscent of cognac aroma. With the help of this "fragrance" insects repel enemies and attract partners for reproduction.
