Why Bed Bugs Peak in Connecticut Winters
With everyone still mostly confined indoors in March, bed bugs spread via travel or used furniture, hiding in mattresses and attracted to body heat and CO2 from breath. Travel also begins to pick up at this time of year, so be sure to inspect mattresses and nearby furniture when staying in unfamiliar territory. The most common item that these insects are attach to is travel luggage.
In areas like Avon and Simsbury, bites and sleeplessness signal trouble—our pest control in Connecticut handles it all.
