Why Are Bed Bugs So Hard To Get Rid Of?
Bed bugs are incredibly resilient pests. They can survive in a wide range of temperatures and environments, reproduce quickly, and are resistant to many pesticides. They can even survive for several months without food! DIY methods can eliminate some bed bugs, but will never eliminate all of them. That means you'll be dealing with the same problem in as little as a month without the help of a seasoned exterminator.
How to Check for Bed Bugs in Your Portland Home
An adult bedbug measures only 5 millimeters long - about the size of an eraser on a pencil or an apple seed. You can see them with the naked eye, but these pests are very good at hiding.
Bed bugs hide in dark crevices near where people sleep, such as under couch cushions, the seams of a reclining chair, or beneath the mattress. As the population grows, they will spread 10 to 20 feet away to hide in nightstands, end tables, and baseboards.
It is easier to look for the signs of infestation:
- Blood stains on your sheets, pillowcase, pajamas, mattress, bed frame, or walls.
- Bed bug feces appear as dark brown spots. Also look for egg casings and shed skin casings in seams, cracks, and crevices.
- Itchy red bumps on your skin (bed bug bites) or frequent morning fatigue
How to Stop Bed Bugs from Entering Your House
Follow these tips from the Oregon Health Authority to avoid a bed bug infestation in the first place and to maintain a pest-free environment after we eradicate them.
- Vacuum frequently, including all sides of your mattress, bed frame, and headboard. Use a crevice tool to reach cracks in baseboards and furniture, as well as the deep seams of couches and chairs.
- Don’t place or store luggage, tote bags or purses, or other travel items in rooms or near areas where you sleep.
- Clean regularly with soap and water, remove clutter, and watch for signs such as feces and skin casings. The sooner you notice them, the easier it will be to destroy them.

Bed Bugs In Portland FAQs
The more you know about bed bugs, the better you can keep them out of your home. Homeowners in Beaverton and Portland have many questions about bed bugs. Here are a few of the most common questions they ask our technicians:
Bed bugs are opportunistic parasites that stow away on our belongings (luggage, backpacks, and furniture). That's how we unintentionally bring bed bugs into our homes and businesses from other locations. You can search for reports of them at area hotels on the bedbugregistry.com or bedbugreports.com websites.
Bed bugs feed on human blood. Unfortunately, that could mean you and your family. They creep out of their hiding places at night. They are attracted to your body's heat and the C02 you exhale.
Treatment timelines vary depending on the severity of the infestation, but most cases require multiple visits to ensure full elimination.
DIY bed bug treatments almost never work. At best, they'll alleviate problems briefly but never permanently. Note some of the most common reasons why:
- Bed bugs are resistant to most OTC insecticides.
- OTC insecticides don't kill eggs, which means they can only ever temporarily alleviate bed bug problems.
- Spraying yourself with bug repellent before bed can make you sick.
- Using outdoor repellants indoors could poison you, your pets, or your family members.
- Bombs and foggers force bugs into hiding, making them even more challenging to eliminate.
The only way to eliminate pests for good is to disrupt their breeding cycles so they can't return. Professional treatment is the most reliable way to remove bed bugs completely.
