Bed Bugs in Licking County Rising, My Cleaning Products Offers Resident Help with Complimentary Bed Bug Spray

Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) June 27, 2013

Several years since their big return, bed bugs continue to further spread. And based on a report from newarkadvocate.com, the Licking County in Ohio was definitely feeling their ongoing surge. So to help its residents, My Cleaning Products suggested the use of Bed Bug Bully. It also offered samples of it so the public could test it and prove that it is safe and effective.

The director of environmental health of Licking County Health Department said in the report, posted on June 20, 2013, that in Ohio, bed bugs first became a headache in Cincinnati, My Cleaning Products shared. And for the past three years, it added that they advanced and made themselves even more visible up to Central Ohio.

But Jeanne Emmons, infection prevention director at Licking Memorial Hospital related in the report that bed bugs, though a nuisance, are not a threat to health, said MCP. Nevertheless, it related that they make the containment of those pests their first priority in the hospital.

Below is a part of the post Bed Bugs in Licking County on the Rise by My Cleaning Products.

Bed bugs are not a new problem. They have been a scourge to humans since the ancient times. However, with geographical boundaries now basically non-existent due to the increase in travels everywhere, they are definitely affecting more people today than ever.

Licking County in Ohio is definitely feeling that stronger prevalence of those vampire-like insects. And it isn't the only one. Many more cities and towns across the country, likely even all over world, are facing the same predicament.

MCP said that bed bugs are indeed more prevalent today than before. But even though they are not dangerous to health, it said that they still need to be eliminated. If they are not rid, it stated that they would multiply and cause more bed bug bites and other problems.

So, when bed bugs are sighted, the company said that inspection must then be implemented. And soon after they are located, it emphasized that prompt bed bug elimination must then follow-up.

However, of the several methods to kill bed bugs, My Cleaning Products stated that the use of bed bug spray is the best to implement for a prompt and personal bed bug treatment. That's because it is an easy, quick and cost-effective process, it said.

City buildings have ‘big problem’ with bed bugs

CTV Toronto Published Wednesday, June 26, 2013 5:45PM EDT Last Updated Wednesday, June 26, 2013 6:07PM EDT

Fire stations, community centres, even employment offices are among dozens of city buildings that have battled bed bugs in recent years according to documents obtained by CTV Toronto's Natalie Johnson.

The problem is so bad, in fact, that entire buildings have been sprayed, others have been treated on multiple occasions and a pest-control company even urged the city to throw out furniture, in one case.

In an internal memo from a meeting of custodial supervisors in 2011, the city says there is a big problem at various city building locations with bed bugs.

Requests are received daily regarding bed bugs infestation."

At the time, the custodial unit had encountered over 100 request (sic) with bed bug problems.

Many of buildings have had reoccurring issues over the last few years like the Lawrence Square Employment Office, where people go to look for work.

Others infestations are seemingly unlikely like the 11 police stations that had to be sprayed. The records indicate that the bugs were "brought in by a prisoner," in some cases.

An April 2012 email exchange illustrates the concern about bed bugs at police stations.

After finding bed bugs on a child who had been lying on a front reception couch at the Toronto Police Services 31 division, records show that exterminators urged the city to throw away lobby furniture.

Bed Bugs Assault Kansas, Residents Offered with Complimentary Bed Bug Spray by My Cleaning Products

Lawrence, KS (PRWEB) June 24, 2013

The dormant days of bed bugs are over. And based on reports from kake.com and kctv5.com, Kansas is one of those states suffering from their massive resurgence. Knowing the many problems those pests could bring, My Cleaning Products gave the residents a warning. And to also help them, it advised the use of Bed Bug Bully for an effective and safe bed bug treatment.

It was stated in the report from kake.com posted on June 17, 2013 that the bed bug problem in Kansas was dramatically increasing, My Cleaning Products recounted. And as it shared, the banning of a particular chemical and the increase of domestic and international travels were the reasons identified why the pests are now so widespread and has reached the state.

To help its residents, especially those living in apartment complexes, MCP said that a separate report from kctv5.com related that Kansas leaders proposed a new bed bug ordinance. It detailed that new law basically requires the people to get the bed bug infestation treated by pest control professionals.

Here's an excerpt from the post Bed Bugs Surging in Kansas by My Cleaning Products:

"There was time when bed bugs were not as dominant as they are today. However, due to a lot of things, they came back and caused havoc again. The banning of the chemical pesticide called DDT is said one of the major reasons why those vampire-like insects are now on surge. Besides that, it is believed that the increase both in domestic and international travels is also a major player in their prevalence. Among the states that are really feeling the resurgence of those pests is Kansas. Located in the mid-west part of the country, it hasn't dealt with bed bug spread as worse as it is facing today."

According to My Cleaning Products, it can't be denied that bed bugs are now so widespread. So, to help Kansas residents and all the other bed bug victims, it advised them to see bed bug pictures, know the pests' habit, locate them early and eliminate them quickly.

However, for a personal elimination of the critters, MCP said that the use of a bed bug spray is the best to implement. And that's because it makes the process easy and quick, it reasoned out.

Of the many bed bug sprays though, it only recommended Bed Bug Bully. It said that unlike other bed bug products, it is effective even without strong chemicals in its content. In fact, EPA has already classified it as pesticide-exempt under FIFRA 25(b).

To affirm its safety and effectiveness, the company encouraged all Kansas residents and the rest of the public to try Bed Bug Bully. It shared that anyone could get a Bed Bug Bully Complimentary Sample at MyCleaningProducts.com.

Question Of The Day: Where Do Bed Bugs Come From | Pest …

It seems like no one ever heard of bed bugs until about 5 years ago when infestations started to pop up everywhere! Now a days it is the most common pest in residential homes. It is also one of the most difficult to eliminate. There are several theories on why bed bugs have risen to such prominence. Firstly an increase in international travel and international migration have meant that there is more opportunity to transmit bed bugs internationally. Secondly the continued increase and growth of urban centers has meant that more people are now living in closer proximity. This has meant an increased trend in multifamily living which also has meant a wider networking area for spreading an infestation (through neighbours, friends and family). Also with the development of craigslist, kijiji, and other posting sites, the intake of used clothing and furniture has gone up exponentially. These are just some of the trends that may have contributed to the rise of bed bugs.
