The Black Excrements

The window sill close to the bed headboard!

These are the images captured from a townhouse in Toronto. This has been, so far, the highest level of Bed Bug infestation that we have successfully exterminated with only TWO application visits.

Please, note that all of these Pictures depict Scenes of a Very High Level of bed bug Infestation. Most infestation would not compare to this in terms of number of Bed Bugs, their Eggs, Skin Sheds and Feces (excrements).

Please, note that the residents had painted over the layers of Bed Bug feces. As well they had used Diatomaceous Earth in huge quantities to remedy and mask the problem.

WALLS and Baseboards

Painting over loads of Excrements was futile!

There has been a poor attempt at painting over the blackened wall and baseboards.

While Bed Bugs are not social insects and do not make large social nests, when there is a multitude of them, then, their presence feels like that you have arrived inside of their nest.

We see several hundreds of dead Bed Bugs on the carpet. There is also Diatomaceous Earth dust on the carpet. Painting and Diatomaceous Earth would cause some discomfort to Bed Bugs but these efforts are fruitless.

This scene is just below the window sill image presented above.

BEDBUGS

Ceiling!

This location does not provide any shelter from outdoor or indoor light yet Bed Bugs are nesting here. As well, it is quite a distance from the bed where the host might be found.

Also, the abundance of Bed Bugs were feeding a decent population of Spiders.

These factors made us consider this to be the worst case of Bed Bug infestation that we had to exterminate in Toronto.

Wallpaper and Posters

Little gaps behind Paper!

This poster was put on by the top edge of the wall and ceiling. It is the curled up edges of such paper coverings that provide Bed Bugs the perfect spots to sneak under.

Notoriety

Electrical Sockets

The Bed Bug Notoriety of Electrical Sockets is sometimes presented with an intent to mislead; or people just misunderstand the importance of the Electrical Sockets.

If Electrical Sockets are right next to bed, then, these could be nested in, early on, in the infestation – which is NOT typical. In this case, it did not matter much as the infestation level was crazy high and the electrical socket was closet the infested bed!

Point to take is that, this would not be the level of infestation of the Electrical sockets, if it was located on the opposite end of the room.

Ceiling Corner

Result of Over Crowding

This is nest is quite far from the bed and is not in a dark spot! Yet they chose to nest here and travel every now and then to the host at a distance when hungry!

It is a rare sight in bed bug infestations, hence, we consider this to be one of the worst case of Bed Bugs (nesting in most inhospitable spot).

WOODEN FRAME

Sofa Bed

The Sofa Bed’s wooden frame provides excellent protected spaces for Bed Bugs to live. Here, we have heaps of white, shiny eggs and Layers of Black excrements. The white arrows show you the heaps of Eggs and most dense spot of excrements is pointed by the black arrow.
