"Good Night, Sleep Tight, Don't Let The Bed Bugs Bite." Most of us have heard this traditional saying as children. But for many in the Hilton Head, Bluffton, Beaufort, and surrounding areas of the Lowcountry, this carefree bedtime idiom has become a horrifying reality.

Beginning in the 1990s our industry began seeing an increase in bed bug calls and treatments. That increase has continued to today. Not only in homes and hotels. Bed bugs are being found in many different places; planes, automobiles, used furniture, movie theaters and many more places. Hiding in cracks and crevices, while waiting for their next opportunity to feed. Sometimes waiting for as long as one year.

When trying to identify possible bed bug activity, these are some signs to be aware of: itchy red bites, usually on the upper torso, dark or rusty spots on mattress and pillowcases, small oval, brownish shaped bug, egg shells, shed skins, or a musty odor.

Should you find any of these signs, and need a treatment, or would like a home inspection to ease your mind, Pinnacle Pest Solutions is here to help. Each service begins with a thorough inspection of your home to identify any present bed bug activity.
