SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. -- A local pest control company hopes to make one family's holiday merrier. The family's home is infested with bed bugs. Pointe Pest Control participates in a national charitable event called "Taking the Bite out of the Holidays." Company owner Jacob Borg chose to treat one Spokane Valley family's crisis for free.

It's a good thing to do for the holidays, Borg said.

The service would normally cost several thousand dollars but Borg said the family did not have the money to call a professional.

This family in particular had bedbugs for over a year and she spent hundreds of dollar on home remedies, he said. She's tried to get rid of them. They got a family living here - people that are getting bit everyday.

Technicians spent all day Thursday working to evict the bed bugs. And in the bed bug business, heat kills.

So we are trying to get the ambient room temperature between 130 and 140 degrees.

Bed Bugs Sent Man to the Hospital; My Cleaning Products Comments and Shares Tips to Kill Bed Bugs Quick and Avoid a …

Richmond, VA (PRWEB) December 20, 2013

Bed bugs recently got a man from Virginia hospitalized. And stating that those critters could do the same to anyone else, My Cleaning Products then gave out a tip how to kill bed bugs quick to help the public.

In a report dated December 16, 2013 from wavy.com, the man who landed in the hospital because of the critters was identified to be Robert Malcolm, My Cleaning Products shared. It detailed that the stress the critters added to his already weakened heart caused his hospitalization over the weekend.

According to the report, Malcolm had to deal with crawlies every night at the motel where he was living, giving him scars from the bed bug bites all over, MCP relayed. And though he informed the management about the pests several times, he said that the problem was never resolved.

The management though, as said in the report, stated that Malcolm never complained about it. Additionally, they stated that his was just recently treated.

Here is an excerpt from the report Man Landed in Hospital Due to Bed Bugs by My Cleaning Products.

Bed bugs do not transfer diseases. Nevertheless, they sent a man from Virginia to a hospital over the weekend.

Robert Malcolm is a Hampton resident who has been staying in one of the city's motel. But instead of a good night rest, he got bed bug bites from the place. The problem over the critters stressed him out worsening the condition of his already weakened heart, thus, the hospitalization.

My Cleaning Products relayed that bed bugs don't transmit diseases. Nevertheless, like they did to Robert Malcolm, they could send people to the hospital for various reasons.

Because of that, MCP stated that everyone must be able to kill bed bugs promptly if ever they get past one's preventive steps. To do so, it said, would prevent them from multiplying and causing worse problems.

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs are small insects that feed on human blood. They are usually active at night when people are sleeping. Adult bed bugs have flat, rusty-red-colored oval bodies. About the size of an apple seed, they are big enough to be easily seen, but often hide in cracks in furniture, floors, or walls. When bed bugs feed, their bodies swell and become brighter red. They can live for several months without food or water.

Most bed bug bites are initially painless, but later turn into large, itchy skin welts. These welts do not have a red spot in the center like flea bites.

Although bed bugs are a nuisance, they are not known to spread disease.

Signs and symptoms of bedbug bites will usually affect only the surface of your skin, revealing themselves as small itchy red bumps known as papules or wheals. You might find the lesions in a linear or clustered fashion, indicative of repeated feedings by a single bedbug.

Some people may develop allergic reactions or larger skin reactions such as:

In most cases, people carry bed bugs into their homes unknowingly, in infested luggage, furniture, bedding, or clothing. Bed bugs may also travel between apartments through small crevices and cracks in walls and floors.
