Bed Bug Connecticut
It is important to understand that bed bugs can be found in all of Connecticut’s counties. There is no need to be embarrassed if you find these pests in your home, as they are not a sign of uncleanliness or neglect. Bed bugs will feed on just about anything and can survive for up to a year without feeding on the host.
Bed bugs may not be able to hurt you directly, but they do cause allergic reactions when they bite humans. While many people experience little reaction after being bitten by bed bugs, others have experienced moderate itching and redness where they were bitten as well as secondary infections because of scratching at their bites while they sleep during the night.
Connecticut is home to the second largest number of bed bug infestations in the US
The second largest number of bed bug infestations in the US is Connecticut. Other states with large populations of bed bugs include New York, Chicago, Boston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Dallas-Fort Worth.
While these cities might be more notorious for their bed bug problems than others (e.g., Detroit), they are not alone when it comes to being vulnerable to a pest invasion. If you live anywhere in CT or one of those other locations above, you could be at risk for an infestation as well!
Over 60% of pest control professionals in Connecticut reported seeing bed bugs in their territory
You should be aware that the number of reported cases of bed bugs in Connecticut is increasing. In fact, over 60% of pest control professionals in Connecticut reported seeing bed bugs in their territory. This is a nationwide epidemic, and it isn’t going away any time soon. Bed bugs are not known to spread disease; however, they can bite people and cause a lot of discomfort (including skin irritation). Bed bugs are more common in urban areas where there are lots of people living together—which means they will affect both homes and businesses alike.
All Connecticut county’s report bed bug infestation, with Hartford County claiming the highest number of cases.
The map below shows all of Connecticut’s counties and the number of cases they have reported.
Hartford County claims the highest number of bed bug cases, followed by Fairfield and New Haven. On average, there are about 5 cases per month in these three counties alone. In comparison, there is roughly one case reported per month throughout all other counties combined. The population for Hartford County is around 900,000 people; however, this does not mean that every person has been affected by bed bugs at some point or another! Additional data from local officials suggests that most infestations occur within residential spaces such as apartments or houses rather than hotels or motels (where large groups of people stay).
16 public schools in New Haven County were closed due to bed bug infestation.
The school district brought in pest control experts to address the problem and sent students home with bed bug education materials.
The district has closed four schools due to bed bugs: Burr Intermediate School, Hamden Middle School and New Haven High School’s North Campus, as well as North Haven Middle School. Students at those schools will be sent home with letters about the situation.
A spokesperson for the state Department of Education said that none of these schools have been sprayed by pesticide yet.
If a bed bug bites, it typically takes between 3 and 10 minutes for them to feed.
If a bed bug bites, it typically takes between 3 and 10 minutes for them to feed. Bed bugs inject an anesthetic when they bite so that their victims don’t feel pain. They also inject an anti-coagulant to prevent blood from clotting and make more blood available for the bed bug’s meal. After feeding on human blood, a female will lay her eggs in about 5 days; male bed bugs die after mating with one female.
Bed bugs are most active at night, but may be seen during the day as well because they like dark crevices away from light sources (like under furniture or behind wall outlets). If you see signs of bed bugs in your home but no evidence on yourself yet, call a pest control professional right away! If you see bites or other signs of infestation later on and have recently traveled out of state, remember that you can bring them home with you on clothing or in luggage without even noticing!
Adult bed bugs typically grow to about 3/16 of an inch long. They are narrow and flat which allows them to easily hide in places like mattress seams and around the edges of a box spring.
Adult bed bugs are typically flat in shape, narrow and brownish-red to mahogany in color. They are small, growing to about 3/16 of an inch long. This small size allows them to easily hide in places like mattress seams and around the edges of a box spring.
Adult bed bugs can be seen by the naked eye, but they tend to flee when disturbed. Bed bugs are nocturnal feeders and prefer to stay close to their host while feeding on blood meals at night or early morning hours when people are sleeping deeply (and not as likely to notice them). Adult female bedbugs reproduce prolifically — laying up to five eggs every day — which can result in hundreds of offspring over time if left untreated!
Bed bugs are good at hiding, but one telltale sign of their presence is fecal matter they leave behind while they’re feeding. It looks like small brown streaks on the surface that they’re living on, such as a mattress or wall.
You may also see signs that a bed bug infestation is present if you see fecal matter on the surface of your bed or other furniture. Bed bug feces has a distinctive brown color, and it’s often found in small streaks or spots on mattresses and box springs, as well as walls.

Bed bugs most often come out at night when people are sleeping and looking for somewhere warm to land and bite.
You may be thinking, “How do I know if my home has bed bugs?” Well, the answer is simple: you don’t. Even if you’ve never seen a bug or felt an itch, there’s no way of knowing if you have them until they start biting and/or making their presence known. And while they’re more active at night than during the day, their activity doesn’t cease when darkness falls. Bed bugs are attracted by body heat and will bite people while they’re sleeping or sitting still in one place for an extended period of time—say, watching TV or reading a book in bed without turning on a light.
Bed bugs can survive for up to 18 months without feeding on human blood; however, most prefer to feed every five to ten days—meaning that if one person in your home has them and does not treat them properly (which is very easy), his/her infestation could grow exponentially before anyone even realizes what’s going on!
Adult female bed bugs can lay up to 500 eggs during their lifetime, spreading rapidly if left untreated.
Another unique aspect of bed bugs is their prolific breeding. Adult female bed bugs can lay up to 500 eggs during their lifetime, spreading rapidly if left untreated. If you suspect you have a bed bug problem, contact a professional immediately for treatment, as it’s important to act fast before an infestation spreads.
Bed bugs cannot fly or jump, so they use their claws to climb onto you or your furniture before taking a bite using their proboscis (a tube-like mouth).
Bed bugs, unlike their cousins the bat and the mosquito, cannot fly or jump. They use their claws to climb onto you or your furniture before taking a bite using their proboscis (a tube-like mouth).
Bed bugs are not dangerous; however, they can cause embarrassment if you have them in your home. The problem is that most people don’t know how to spot bed bug bites and may mistaken them for something else like mosquito bites or allergic reactions.
