University of Florida Study Examines Potentially Harmful Effects a Bed Bug Infestation Can Have on Humans

Posted on October 15, 2012 by pcenet Click Here For Article

Although bed bugs have not been shown to transmit disease, is blood loss something we should be worried about? A University of Florida study released in the Journal of Medical Entomology explores this further. BedBug Central's Technical Director Jeffrey White weights in with his thoughts as well.

Lawrenceville, NJ (PRWEB) October 15, 2012

Even though many have stated bed bugs are not a health risk because they cant transmit disease, this study raises questions as to whether or not those statements are accurate. In situations where a high level of bed bug infestation goes untreated, there is a greater risk for anemia. This study helps to reiterate the importance of identifying infestations and taking measures to reduce the impact bed bugs can have on humans.

These findings, combined with the recent research that bed bugs can have a measurable psychological impact on humans, may cause certain people to think twice about labeling bed bugs as a non-health risk.

One of the important things about our study was that we were able to prove that bed bug populations have a greater potential to grow than we originally thought, said Dr. Roberto M. Pereira, Associate Research Scientist at the University of Florida. Because we allowed them to feed on a daily basis, our research showed that bed bugs consumed about three times as much blood as were used to seeing. With this boost in feeding and consumption the bed bugs ended up producing three times as many eggs, therefore population growth was a lot faster than expected. This study proved to us that the potential of blood loss in humans is actually real and can get to harmful enough levels within 15 20 weeks.

Technical Director of Bed Bug Central Jeffrey White weighs in with his thoughts. It has long been thought that if you have enough bed bugs present they may be able to take enough blood to cause a health risk. This study gives us a time frame to keep any eye on in regards to when an infestation may be at a risky level. The next step would be to conduct a follow up experiment in an actual infestation to see if this model actually correlates with what happens in the field.

Seeing that it appears bed bugs are back and here to stay knowledge is the best weapon in staying protected from infestations.

Manatee's toughest jobs: Behind the scenes with the bedbug exterminator

Posted on October 15, 2012 by admin Click Here For Article

Imagine that it's as hot as a sauna in your house.

Around 140 degrees -- hot enough to melt candles and cosmetics, like the inside of a car with the windows rolled up on a sunny day.

Now imagine rearranging all the furniture in your house in that heat. For good measure, reorganize everything inside your closets and cabinets, too. Once you're finished, do it all over again.

Sound crazy? That's what the bedbug crew at Keller's Pest Control in Bradenton do nearly every day. But they're not redecorating, they're eradicating. Bedbugs.

They're a largely unseen menace, lurking in the dark crevices of places where

people normally feel the safest. Once the blinds are drawn, the lights switched off, and we're snug in our sheets or easy chairs, basking in the glow of the television, the bedbug's blood feast begins.

They can be no thicker than a credit card and as small as the tip of a blunt pencil. For those who have been unlucky enough to harbor them -- unwittingly inviting them into their home, carried on clothing, bedding, luggage or furniture -- it can become nothing short of a nightmare.

Rodney O'Quinn, owner of Keller's Pest Control, has seen it first hand. People often call in and break down on the telephone, crying as they describe how they can't sleep at night, or tell of children covered in welts -- allergic reactions caused by the tiny blood-eating insect's bites.

O'Quinn's company has treated a diverse array of local homes and edifices, from hotels and condos to offices and nursing homes. They can be found pretty much anywhere people congregate, and getting rid of them can be expensive and exhausting.

About four years ago, after trying conventional treatments for years with varying degrees of success, O'Quinn invested in a thermal-eradication solution. So far it has been a win-win scenario for both O'Quinn and his customers.
