Anyone who has ever had an insect infestation knows just how difficult it can be to get rid of. Often, home owners don’t even realize they have an insect problem, until it is too late. For instance, a home owner may not realize they have ants until they notice the appearance of ant hills. In the case of bed bugs, they might not be detected in the home until someone is bitten. The bite doesn’t hurt initially, but it can become inflamed due to the fact that the saliva injected by the bugs when they are biting is being injected into the skin.

It is also common to see egg shells, molted skin, and fecal spots near the insects’ hiding spots.
