Common Myths About Bed Bugs
In recent years, bed bugs have created widespread concern. Contrary to popular belief, bed bugs are not correlated with untidy homes; they are opportunistic travelers that can get into any home via clothing, luggage, or furniture. They most often dwell in sleeping areas like bedrooms, hotel rooms, and dorms.
What Are Bed Bugs?
According to the CDC, Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are tiny parasites that feed on blood. These reddish-brown parasites do not fly and can be up to 7mm long. The CDC confirms bed bugs can survive for months without a blood meal, so you can’t starve them out. For complete removal, you need professional bed bug exterminators in Milwaukee.

Are There Any Health Concerns?
While research shows bed bug bites are not lethal, the EPA confirms they can cause significant distress and other health concerns, including:
- Intensely itchy skin irritations.
- Secondary skin infections from excessive scratching.
- Allergic reactions, which can sometimes be severe.
- Increased stress and loss of sleep.
Common Bed Bug Myths: Debunked
Bed bugs are only found in dirty, developing countries!
This is false. According to the CDC, bed bug infestations are a global issue, occurring in five-star hotels and resorts in the United States, Canada, and Europe just as they are in developing countries. Bed bug presence is not determined by the cleanliness of the environment.
Bed bugs spread diseases!
This is a common misconception. Top researchers at the CDC and EPA confirm that bed bugs are not known to spread diseases. The primary harm they cause is loss of sleep and itchy skin irritations, which can lead to secondary infections if scratched excessively.
Bed bugs spread diseases!
According to CDC’s top researchers, bed bugs DO NOT spread diseases. They only harm that bed bugs cause is the loss of sleep and an itchy irritation on a person’s skin. But, you should know that excessive scratching can result in secondary skin infections.
Quick Facts About Bed Bugs
Temperature:
Optimal egg-laying temperatures are around 80°F (27°C), and they also grow fastest at this temperature.
Travel:
A single bed bug can travel up to 100 feet overnight in search of a meal.
Hiding Spots:
They hide during the day in dark, isolated spots like the seams of mattresses, bed frames, cracks in walls, and headboards.
Resilience:
They are remarkably resilient and can survive for several months without feeding.
Reproduction:
A typical female bed bug lays up to 7 eggs per week and can lay over 500 eggs in her lifespan.
Visibility:
While very small, an adult bed bug is clearly visible to the naked eye.
Behavior:
Bed bugs are mostly nocturnal but will feed during the day if necessary. Their bite is often painless, so most people don’t realize they’ve been bitten until they spot an itchy, red welt.
Proximity:
They typically live within an 8-foot radius of where people sleep, following their food source and adapting to their host’s sleeping habits.

FAQs About Bed Bug Treatments
While pesticides are mostly recommended for bed bug treatment, they are other options like heat. It is always good to regularly monitor your bedroom to see if there’s any sign of an infestation. If you find any signs, be sure to inform your landlord and call Affordable Bed Bug Exterminators to treat your home.”
While heat offers a rapid solution, chemical spray treatments provide a residual barrier that lasts up to 120 days. This long-term protection is crucial for preventing re-infestation, making it a highly reliable option.
While full preparation ensures the best results, we understand it can be a challenge. That’s why we offer a limited-prep treatment option. It costs a little more, but many clients find the convenience is well worth it.
You may notice itchy skin welts, often in a line or cluster. Key visual signs on your mattress and furniture include small bloodstains from crushed insects or the dark, inky spots from their droppings.
While some non-toxic DIY products can kill individual bugs, they are not effective for eliminating an established infestation. DIY products lack the pervasiveness to reach all hiding places. Residual commercial-grade insecticides are necessary for complete elimination.
In most cases, people carry bed bugs into their homes unknowingly. They are excellent hitchhikers and can hide in infested luggage, used furniture, bedding, purses, or clothing. They also travel between apartments through small crevices in walls and floors.
If you have bites but no visual signs, our bed bug exterminators Milwaukee may recommend hiring a K9 inspection team. These specially trained dogs can detect bed bugs by scent long before you might see them visually.

What Our Customers Say
Elizabeth Singleton2024-10-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. UPDATE - OVER 30 DAYS AND NO BED BUGS SURVIVED! I discovered bed bugs in my home. Instead of a general exterminator, I thought a company named Affordable Bed Bug Exterminator must specialize in the problem. I was right. From my first telephone call answered by Doug through the exterminating process, where the gentleman was kind enough to turn out all the lights when he left, I am 💯 % pleased. Discovering a colony at 430 am freaked me out and despite knowing better, I still felt like I was at fault. Growing up there was a stigma in having bed bugs. I started researching what to do and quickly decided I needed a professional. Doug answered the phone. He reassured me and made me feel less disgusted with myself. He answered all my questions from how could this happen to me to details on each chemical being used. He advised they have done over 5000 homes, that long-term experienced people make a difference in getting rid of bed bugs, that legally I didn't have to tell neighbors but to check my HOA rules, and that he could have someone exterminate my place the next day. The only prep work I had to do was stripping my beds and packing up those linens to take somewhere with a dryer. Based on my description, my infestation was moderate. The cost of $600 was less than I expected. Their success rate averages 95% as some bugs have developed resistance to some chemicals. Following the 30 days, if I saw them still active, I could get a 2nd treatment with a 4th kind of chemical for $150, which then was 99% effective. I made an appointment. The gentleman showed up on time. His vehicle did not advertise the company, preventing any embarrassment. He examined my home, listened to my history, explained the process, advised he has 15 years of experience with hed bugs, and explained not to breathe the stuff for 2 hours and then stay out 5 hours to give time for the chemicals to dry, I can sweep but no washing the floors or objects/areas treated so as not to remove the chemicals which continue to work up to 30 days. The process kills the bed bugs in all stages, destroys the eggs, is tracked back to nests, and creates a barrier so they don't visit my neighbors. Furniture would be moved away from walls and chairs, and mattresses, and couches upended. Baseboards, closets, drapes, and outlets were all treated. When I came home, all the above was true. Took me a half hour to put things back in place and restore cushions, couch, chairs, and beds. I have not seen any bed bugs since the treatment yesterday, but he had explained we might see some in the next 10 days but they would be lethargically headed back to their nests (we want them to do so.). Info for everyone. My grandchild had bites a couple of months ago. I slept in her bed and no bites. We thought she just had a stronger reaction to mosquitos. We didn't realize it was bed bugs until my partner was bitten and we saw a few bugs and the signs listed on the Internet. HALF THE POPULATION DOES NOT HAVE A REACTION TO BED BUG BITES. They were still biting me. I just didn't know it. In 30 days I hope to update this with complete success. I know it's a long review but I am sure many have never been faced with this experience and probably have the same initial shock wondering what to do. michelle jaskulski2024-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went above and beyond to help us out with last minute service when Batzner left us in a pinch. Customer service and technician were both professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Will be using them going forward! Brittany Sutton2024-02-26Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Thank goodness I was not infested with bedbugs. But we did find some. When they said we will get them I was a Little skeptical. But my goodness not seeing anything. Nobody has been bitten and it’s been almost 30 days. Still about 2 weeks left of the 30 days. But yet again I was not infested that bad. Every case is different. But I think for my case case closed. They guaranteed their work and they lived by it gave me a lot of knowledge too, on what to look for. Thank you so much because I have a special needs son. I can’t be having pest running my house. God bless your company. Zakarie Lenski2024-02-03Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Doug and James after bringing extra bed bug friends home after traveling for work. They answered all our questions and understood our slight panic. Doug texted us a video so we could get our place ready for them to come in. Super helpful! Didn’t break the bank and haven’t worried since they left. Thanks guys! mmack20012023-08-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Promptly took care of our problem, James did a great job for me and my downstairs neighbors! I wasn’t able to sleep or relax, this company eased my mind, answered my questions, and did a thorough job. After one round of spray my bb were gone! bradley wollert2023-08-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were prompt and professional.
