At Arizona Pest Control, we provide comprehensive general pest control services, including termite control and cockroach control, to help you maintain a pest-free home.

Understanding Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are flat, oval-shaped insects that feed on human blood. They are attracted to warmth, moisture, and carbon dioxide, making humans their ideal host. Bed bugs can be found in various locations, including mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and even behind wallpaper. To prevent bed bug infestations, it's crucial to understand their behavior, habitat, and signs of infestation.
