Bedbugs are one of the hardest pests to get rid of, but exterminators do have means of exterminating the little buggers. The chemicals used are quite harsh, however it is necessary in order to eradicate the unwanted houseguests.

Can dinner guests who have bedbug bites from someone else's home infect the home that is having the dinner?
This is unlikely. Although it is conceivably possible that a live bedbug or bedbug eggs could be brought into your home if someone has them in their clothes or shoes when they come over for dinner and come out in your home, in practice this is extremely unlikely. Because the way bedbugs first get into somebody's home is most usually a result of them bringing something inside that has bedbug eggs laid in it. Most often it happens when people come back from holiday and bedbug eggs have been laid in somebody's luggage while enjoying that holiday perhaps in the hotel. Or in some cases the eggs are laid when the luggage was in transit such as in the aircraft hold on the way home. Another way bedbugs very often first get into homes is when second hand furniture is brought into the home, particularly a second hand bed, mattress or something like a chest of drawers with crevices where the tiny unhatched eggs may not be perceptible. Once the eggs hatch, anywhere in the home, the bedbugs are attracted by the CO2 people breathe out when they are asleep so the newly born nymph will instinctively make for the source of that breath, which will be one bor other of the beds somewhere in that home, and after its first meal that bed will become its home from then on as it gets bigger and then becomes an adult bedbug. The human sleeping in that bed will thereafter get bitten while he or she is asleep on subsequent nights and over time more and more new bedbugs will get born and so an infestation may occur.
How can I be sure the exterminators do a good job?
A good way to tell is if there are no more bugs in the house. Another good way is to call another company out and have them do a basic walk thru to see if they can see if the work was done properly.
Checking For The Signs Of A Bedbug Infestation?
Inspecting Your Home for Bed BugsIt is not always easy to detect the signs of bedbugs in a home. There are some general guidelines that can be used to help determine if there is a bedbug infestation, although there are instances where a professional pest control company might be needed to confirm the suspicion. Most of the ways to check for bedbugs involve the visual inspection of areas, so it is vital to use a strong flashlight to look for the pests because they can be hard to see. If a bedbug infestation is detected, it is important not to immediately start sleeping in another area because the bedbugs could be unintentionally spread in this way.The first sign that there might be a bedbug infestation in a home is the appearance of small red bite marks or sores on the skin of people living in the house. These can be as small as pinpricks on the skin, or they can be larger and appear like flattened mosquito bites. The sores are generally located on areas that touch the surface of the bed while sleeping, such as the back of the body, although they can really form anywhere that the bedbugs can reach.Bedbugs look for two primary components when they are choosing a spot to nest. The first is safety. This means bedbugs will attempt to live in areas that are protected, dark, and that are not frequently moved. This can include the folds of upholstery, the space between mattresses, the inside of pillows, or the space between a wall and a piece of furniture. Air vents are also popular if they are located in the right area. The second thing bedbugs look for is proximity to a food source, which is generally a person or a pet. Since people sleep for hours at a time in a bed, this is why many bedbugs are found in and around mattresses. Checking all of these potential areas for bedbugs, or bedbug dropping that look like small, black stains, is the best way to check for an infestation.There are a few other ways to check if there might be bedbugs in a home. One way is to feel the weight of a mattress or couch cushion. If it is excessively heavy, it might contain living and dead bedbugs as well as their eggs. In cases where there is a large infestation, bedbugs emit an odor when in large groups. Sometimes, this can smell like fruit or berries. For an established colony, this odor has more of a rancid or sour character.

What is the safest way to kill bed bugs?

It is safe, non-toxic, and can be easily cultivated at home. By relying on this safe and effective natural remedy, you can avoid the toxic side-effects of harsh chemicals.
What is the best way to get rid of seafood smells in a refrigerator?

How can prevent bedbugs to not bite you?
In simple terms it is very difficult. The only real way is by preventing bedbugs infesting your home or having any bedbug infestation in your home exterminated. Because once they have infested a bed it can be almost impossible to stop them biting people in that home at night particularly when you sleep. And once one bed is infested they will move to other beds in same home. Unfortunately cleanliness is not a solution. All evidence suggests people who are spotlessly clean and have newly laundered bedding are just as likely to get bitten by bedbugs are people who are slovenly, dirty and whiff and sleep with unwashed bed linen. Bedbugs are attracted to you by the CO2 you breathe out when you are asleep, and when any bedbug so detects somebody asleep it senses food. So, it will be attracted to the source of that breath looking for its food and once located climb in to the bed and on to that person's body, pierce their skin and suck their blood. Bedbugs most usually make their day time hiding place in the folds of mattresses, but they can be anywhere usually either in or near to a bed.
