Bedbugs

bedbug-150x150Thanks in part to a ban on DDT, bed bugs are back. Bed bugs feed on human blood and can leave nasty bites. They can most commonly be found in beds, however they are also able to travel on clothing, in suitcases, furniture, vehicles, luggage and even on planes or cruise ships.

Bed bugs are highly persistent and therefore it takes persistence to get rid of them. It can be difficult to locate their hiding spots because they can and will hide in extremely small cracks and crevices. If you are concerned that you may have a bed bug infestation, the first thing to do is to check mattresses, bedding and other areas for dirt. You may not see any live bugs – reddish dirt in the corners of a mattress is often an indication that they are there.

Bed bug infestations can become severe very quickly. Female bed bugs can lay up to about 300 eggs at a time, and they hatch in about 10 days.
