The Masked Bedbug Hunters

Masked Hunters you ask? These insects are true bugs, a collection of bugs with sucking mouthparts. When they make their way into homes, they frequent attics and crawlspaces where they can easily camouflage themselves and hunt for food. Thankfully, bed bugs and carpet beetles are their favorite food sources, although they will also feed on other insects and mites. They ambush their prey, using their exceptional mouthparts to slurp out their victims’ body fluids. Masked hunters will bite and have a tendency to bite people around their mouths, which can be tremendously painful and cause limited puffiness. They can be found in crawlspaces, under beds and couches, in pantries, and other places where there might be insects. The most effective way of dealing with unwanted masked hunters in homes is to call a   pest prevention specialist.
