You see one bedbug scurrying across your bed. This site will drive you crazy. I have seen people literally want to move out of their homes because of bedbugs. Well, the good thing about bedbugs is that they are not always numerous.

The fact of the matter is that they hitchhike and may not come in large numbers.  Here are a few takeaways to consider before requesting an all-out assault.

THE SOURCE? No matter the type of account or number of bed bugs found, the curious bed bug inspector needs to determine the likelihood that the bed bug was simply “dropped off” or if there is a more significant infestation of breeding adult bed bugs lurking nearby.  Usually in residential settings, bedbugs are more relevant due to the long term stay of the host.

In doctor's offices, hotels, and clinics, Bed bugs usually do not set up camp. The reason is that the hosts are always on the move, in and out of doctor's offices, hotels, and clinics.

Key Takeaways
• Take a deep breath—a small number of bed bugs in an account is not always a sign that a large infestation is present.
• Some commercial accounts—schools, public transportation, and office buildings—are more prone to “transient” bed bug sightings.
• A comprehensive inspection of the account must be done to determine if a larger infestation is present and what treatment options are required.
• A pest management professional’s response to finding a small number of bed bugs should be measured and focused on solutions that are appropriate and reflect the level of the problem.
