Common Reasoning Mistakes in Commerce Valley
From our guide Bed Bug Bites vs. Other Insect Bites: How to Tell Them Apart: the checks below are the ones to run through at a Commerce Valley property.
- "The bites are in a line, so it's bed bugs." Linear patterns are a clue, not proof, and other insects can produce them too.
- "Nobody else has bites, so it can't be bed bugs." Roughly 70% of people don't react on first exposure, so a bite-free housemate proves nothing.
- "I don't see bugs on the mattress, so there are none." Bed bugs hide deep in seams and cracks and aren't always visible during a quick glance.
For Commerce Valley: A dwelling must be kept free of rodents, vermin and insects at all times, and extermination methods must follow the Pesticides Act.
