Bed bugs love to travel. They love to hitch rides in cars, <\/span>airplanes<\/span><\/a>, trains, and more, so it makes sense that they\u2019d be drawn to mobile homes. However, a bed bug infestation in a mobile home presents some unique issues concerning removal. Bed Bug BBQ is known for bed bug heat treatments, but is it safe to use a heat treatment on a home made of metal or plastic? And how do bed bugs even get into mobile homes in the first place?<\/span><\/p>\n

Traveling Pests<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mobile homes are typically in close proximity to each other, but stand alone without shared walls or commonplaces like hallways and lobbies, unlike <\/span>apartment buildings<\/span><\/a>. Bed bugs can\u2019t really travel far on their own, so how do they get from mobile home to mobile home if they can\u2019t crawl through small holes in the walls like they can in apartment buildings and other multi-tenant dwellings? The answer is simple: you could pick them up from your neighbors. One of the best parts of living in a community or neighborhood is getting to know your neighbors. Fourth of July <\/span>cookouts<\/span><\/a>, hanging out on each other\u2019s porches and chatting, and inviting each other over for dinner are just a few of the fun things you can do when you\u2019re part of a community. Unfortunately, if your neighbors have a bed bug problem, you could be unwillingly taking the pests home. If even one bed bug crawls from your neighbor\u2019s couch or rug into your clothes or shoes, you could end up taking them into your mobile home, where they\u2019ll burrow comfortably into your upholstery and furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Do I Know if I Have Bed Bugs?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Luckily, it\u2019s not very hard to tell if you\u2019ve accidentally brought bed bugs home after a nice dinner at the neighbors\u2019 house. If you find any small black spots around your home, that\u2019s a <\/span>sign of bed bugs<\/span><\/a>– the small black spots are fecal stains. It\u2019s a myth that bed bug fecal stains are <\/span>always<\/span><\/i> tinged with red due to the blood they consume. They can be rusty brown, tinged with red, or just plain black. Also keep an eye out for bed bug bites on your body. They\u2019ll usually appear as small, itchy red welts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heat Treatment in Mobile Homes<\/span><\/h3>\n

Is bed bug heat treatment safe to use in mobile homes? The short answer is yes. <\/span>Bed bug heat treatment<\/span><\/a>, besides being a fume-free, effective way to get rid of bugs, is safe to use in virtually all types of homes. Most of the time, when using heat treatment, a home is gradually heated to 140-150 degrees in order to kill the bed bugs. In the case of mobile homes, they\u2019re gradually heated to about 122 degrees to avoid the risk of fires or damage to the home. Consequently, it usually takes a bit longer to treat a mobile home with heat than it would take to treat another type of building. Rest assured that it is a completely safe method for you, your home, your children, and pets. Mobile homes are no more likely to catch on fire than other buildings and bed bugs of all life stages die at temperatures between 117 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
