Why You Have Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs are excellent hitchhikers, and are capable of traveling long distances with an unsuspecting host. Experts believe that recent bed bugs increases in the U.S. may be due to more travel, the prevalence of mass transit, lack of knowledge about prevention, increased resistance to pesticides, and ineffective control practices. These bugs have been found in airplane seats, trains, cabs, and hotel rooms.
Bed Bugs commonly travel in luggage, backpacks, and even in clothing. Once this Bug has hitched a ride, its destination could be anywhere, including health care facilities, public transportation, and private homes. Infestations can be spread by a visiting friend, or by even by a domestic help worker. Often a domestic worker may have a visiting relative that will carry the pest from another county. The bed bug infestation can follow you on clothing or belongings to any destination.
General Facts:
Bed bugs are small parasitic insects that feed on the blood or animals. The adults have a reddish-brown color with oval-shaped bodies that are about ¼ inch in length. Eggs are laid by the females, in batches of about 5 per day. As they hatch they are about the size of a poppy seed but in about 30 to 60 days the newborn bed bugs will be grown and ready to lay their own eggs. These eggs are small, approximately 1mm in size and whitish in color, and this makes them very had to find. Bed Bugs are not known to carry or transmit diseases to humans, but their bites can cause skin irritation. Though many people have no reaction to Bed Bug bites, some experience small red welts that often appear in a line or cluster and may be itchy or painful. Serious health problems can occur if the bites become infected.
Bed Bug Infestation Clues:
Bed bugs are attracted by warmth and carbon dioxide. They are the most active at night because that is when we are warm and sleeping, making people great targets for bed bugs.
Bed Bug Signs:
- Small spots of blood on mattresses and linens
- Tiny brown droppings
- Exoskeletons, or “cast skins” shed by growing nymphs
- Tiny white eggs and egg casings
- Bite marks or rashes on the skin (note: not all people develop rashes to the bug bites, and there may not be a visible pattern of skin marks)
