Love Bites, Valentine’s Day, and Why You Shouldn’t Invite the Kissing Bug
Hello, friends! Rusty here from Critter Getter Pest Control. February is upon us—the month of love, chocolates, roses, and, unfortunately, kissing bugs.
Now, I’m all for the sweet, playful side of love. A tender hug, a kiss on the cheek, or even a harmless love bite from someone special. That’s the kind of bite that warms the heart, not sends you running to the medicine cabinet.
But let’s get real: there’s one “love bite” nobody wants—the bite from a kissing bug.
What Are Kissing Bugs?

Despite their romantic name, these little critters are anything but charming. Kissing bugs are known to bite humans and can potentially spread Chagas disease, making them a serious concern for homeowners in Mesa, Gilbert, and Chandler.
They tend to hide in cracks, under furniture, or around pet areas, coming out mostly at night—so you might not even notice them until you wake up with a bite. Definitely not the Valentine’s surprise anyone wants.
