Be Ready for Assassin Bug Bites

Assassin bugs thrive in warm areas, often hiding in gardens, woodpiles, or under porches, especially in Southern states. They can also slip into homes through small cracks. To keep them out, clean up yard debris and seal gaps in your house. If you suspect a bite, see a doctor immediately for a blood test to check for the parasite. Treating it early can prevent serious issues. These bugs are about an inch long, dark, with a cone-like head. If you spot one, don’t touch it—trap it in a container and contact pest control or your health department.

Don’t let assassin bugs ruin your summer vibes! Stay aware, keep your home and yard tidy, and know what to do if bitten. Share these tips with loved ones to keep everyone safe. With a little preparation, you can enjoy sunny days and warm nights without worry, ready to tackle any pesky bugs that come your way. Stay smart and savor the season with peace of mind!
