ACES pest control gets calls daily from customers saying they have been bitten overnight by bedbugs.

Customers wake up finding they have been bitten overnight and don't know what has bitten them.

Often the bites present in classic "bedbug-type" bites, that is  in a line, numerous and swollen into large painful welts.

The customers don't see anything biting them, and often after they inspect around their sleeping area, finding nothing they assume that these "blood suckers of the night" (bedbugs)  are just too good at hiding.

ACES pest control explains that  YES the bites you have look similar to bedbug bites, and that bedbugs like to squeeze into tight gaps and holes hiding from their host.

But that NO its not bedbugs

ACES pest control tell these customers that its bedbugs when you see a bedbug. Bedbugs while they like to hide, are very mobile and follow a CO2 gradient to their host. So if you are on your bed reading before going to sleep, you will get a visitor or two. Also if you look around your mattress or base you will find them or black marks to tell you have been there.

The BLOOD suckers of the night that bite ACES pest control customers are in fact 9 times out of 10 FLEAS.

The first question is how come we have fleas when we don't have a dog or a cat? And we haven't seen any fleas either?

Fleas in the absence of a cat or dog will make the  human a host. Flea bites are often in a line too. Flea bites are mostly not felt until after you have been bitten OR you are bitten when you sleep. And flea bites can present as large welts. 

ACES pest control offers a FREE bedbug inspection  to make sure it is fleas, then ACES successfully and safely treats the customers house for fleas
