Return to Public Health Protection and Safety

In recent years bed bugs have made a resurgence throughout the U.S. In response, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) provides guidelines to help individuals and businesses with prevention, surveillance and control of bed bug infestations.

Based on reports from local health departments and pest control operators, bed bug infestations have been found in hotels, nursing homes, public housing, apartment complexes, moving vans, jails, furniture rental stores, dormitories and other multi-unit dwellings as well as in single-family homes.

What do bed bugs look like?Bed bugs are about a quarter-inch long with reddish brown, oval, flattened bodies. They easily may be mistaken for ticks or cockroaches. Bed bugs feed mainly at night on the blood of people and animals. They have been found in homes, apartments, hotels, motels, dormitory rooms and many modes of transportation such as buses and moving vans.

Common Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius)

Bed Bugs

Already this year, bed bugs have been found in homes in many counties in Kansas. Infestations do not arise because of uncleanliness, but usually from 'hitchhiker' bugs entering the house on items like furniture or luggage. International travel and the reduced use of DDT pesticides have been cited as probable causes for the common bed bug resurgence in the US. Professional help is recommended if a bed bug infestation is discovered, though they are not considered a disease threat.

Bed bugs are in the family Cimicidae, of which there are 74 described species. Three of these prey primarily on humans, though various other species can also feed on humans. Bed bugs are dorso-ventrally flattened insects with piercing/sucking stylet mouthparts and no wings. Adults are about inch in length and reddish-brown in color.

By day, bed bugs often congregate in tight, dark hiding places such as mattresses seams, wall baseboards, behind pictures hanging on walls, or even inside clocks. At night, they emerge from hiding to take their meal; usually from humans but sometimes from pets. These insects insert their stylets into the host and feed for 5-10 minutes. Though the bite itself is painless, it often later causes a red, itchy bump at the site. The presence of blood spots on bed sheets is a strong evidence of bed bugs infestation. If bed bugs cannot find a host, the adults can still survive for over a year without food!

Information was obtained from the Kentucky extension bed bug website: (http://www.ca.uky.edu/entfacts/ef636.asp) and from Usinger, R.L. 1966. Monograph of Cimicidae. Thomas Say Foundation, Vol. VII, Entomological Society of America, College Park.

"I am writing this letter to you because I have a story to tell. Once upon a time, my husband and I were living a normal happy life. We took a trip to Las Vegas, our first. The reason for the trip was to celebrate the marriage of our daughter. Needless to say we were very excited. The wedding was beautiful and Vegas was truly a sight to see. Life was great...but about 2 months later we discovered that not "everything stays in Vegas" as the saying goes. This is when the horrors started. We discovered that we had bed bugs and life went from GREAT to COMPLETE DEVASTATION!

I couldn't sleep. I was awake all hours searching for what we came to call "the critters". I began to research pest control companies and felt that they were all eager to sell me their services but showed no real sympathy for our problem. Each and every company made me feel more like an invoice number than a person, only concerned about getting our business. Now for the best part of the story:

After many calls I finally happened upon your number for Gold Seal Termite and Pest Control. You were kind enough to listen to me without interruption as I explained about the bed bug problem that we had inherited and I knew immediately that I wanted you to take care of our situation. You were so nice and helpful on each and every call that I placed. I felt like a "pest" due to the amount of questions that I had for you but you were very reassuring and put me at ease each time.

On the day of the heat treatment your crew showed up on time and was exceptionally friendly and helpful. You have some great people working for you. They were thorough, courteous and very respectful of our privacy.

Mr. Levin, I wanted you to know that under the "circumstances" it has been a pleasure doing business with you and your company. The 'Critters" are now a faint memory because I can think of your company rather than the annoyance of dealing with the biting bugs. You have made the road to recovery so much easier and I have and will continue to highly recommend your services.

Your heat treatment did the trick! Your kindness and professionalism will never be forgotten. Now we can live Happily Ever After." - Angie & Ed B. "I just wanted to stop and thank you guys once more for a job well done. Everyone was very courteous and professional. Even the way Elia dealt with my elderly parents, he was very compassionate and understanding. Your team took a very devastating ordeal and walked my family through it as if they were dealing with their own love ones. Your team exhibited impeccable customer service skills from start to finish. Greg and the team were always very personable. I felt very confident that we had chosen the right company from the first time we met. It was evident that your team really enjoys what they do. Watching Greg with his camera was like a kid on Christmas morning. You guys went above and beyond your call to community service. And the most important thing for me that most businesses are lacking these days are "people skills" Your team is exceptional. If I had the authority to rate you all I would give each of you an A+ and a cash bonus. I have to admit I was thinking the big day was going to be something like Ghostbusters. I expected to be very nervous. From the time I stepped out of my vehicle I was greeted with warm smiles. Everyone was so calm, cool and collected. I was constantly reassured and shown how well everything was going.
