New York, NY (PRWEB) January 13, 2014

A new study about bed bugs revealed that being in a group speeds up their development. And so, to help the public prevent the increase of them and the worst of the problems that they bring, My Cleaning Products shared a way how to kill the critters early.

A post from sciencedaily.com dated January 09, 2014 related that the study was conducted by researchers from North Carolina State University, My Cleaning Products shared. It detailed that it was published on the Journal of Medical Entomology with the title of Group Living Accelerates Bed Bug (Hemiptera: Cimicidae) Development also on the 9th of January.

According to the post, the research particularly found out that a crowd of those vampire-like critters hastens the development of their nymphs by 2.2 days. MCP said. Additionally, the study also discovered that bed bug eggs and nymphs could still survive and join a bed bug infestation even without the help of their adults.

Below is a part of the post Bed Bugs Loving the Crowd by My Cleaning Products.

Bed bugs are known to multiply and spread quickly. And that makes those critters hard to completely get rid.

But that's not just it. A new study has discovered that their living in a group is also significant factor to their continued prevalence.

According to My Cleaning Products, the finding of this recent study provides a solid reason for anyone to kill bed bugs early. And by doing exactly that, it said that one could block those critters from multiplying fast and causing worse problems. As a result, it stated that it would also save the people from more bed bug bites and expenses.

But to eliminate those pesky insects early, MCP said that an individual must first be wary of their signs. And once any of those hints is encountered, it stated that their presence must then be confirmed and immediately followed-up by a bed bug treatment.

Besides that, the company asserted that a person must also prepare a bed bug spray. However, it stressed that the product to use must be organic-based to protect everyone's health.

What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs are small, flat, brown insects less than inch long, about the size of an apple seed. Bed bugs feed on human blood which can cause itching and welts. Bed bugs are a re-emerging pest. The scientific name for bed bugs is Cimex.

Bed bugs are found in most parts of the world, including South Dakota. As the name indicates, they often live in beds. They can infest homes, hotels, dorms or any place people gather. Bed bugs hide in cracks, seams, creases and corners of mattresses, bed frames, chairs, sofas, walls or furniture. The bugs prefer wood and fabric over metal or plastic. The bugs hide during the day and creep out at night tosuck blood. The actual bug is rarely seen, but the reddish-brown dots and smears of excrement are visible.

Who gets bed bugs? Anyone may be bitten by bed bugs if they sleep in an infested bed or sit in an infested chair.

How do bed bugs spread? Bed bugs are hitchhikers and are spread by moving beds, furniture, luggage or clothing from one room or building to another. The bugs are small and their eggs are very tiny so they may not be seen when infested furniture or luggage is moved into a new home or building. Once introduced bed bugs may spread throughout the whole building.

Do bed bugs carry disease? Bed bugs are annoying, but they are not known to carry diseases. Some people do not feel or react to the bite, and dont even know they have been bitten. Others are more sensitive developing welts and redness where bitten. Occasionally itching and scratching may cause secondary infections, which if severe may need medical treatment. The night-biting habits of the bed bug may disrupt sleep.

Controlling bed bugs. Bed bugs can be difficult to control. It is best to have a professional pest controller apply the insecticides to kill the bed bugs. A lay person can look for bed bugs or their droppings in the seams of mattresses, bed frame cracks, night tables, wall moldings, wall and floor cracks, wallpaper openings, etc. Specially trained dogs can sniff out bed bug infestations. Wash the bedding and clothes in very hot water and dry at full heat, clean the carpets, rugs and curtains. Repair wall cracks. Get rid of clutter. The mattress should be scrubbed, including the seams. An infested mattress and box spring should be sealed in a waterproof, hypoallergenic mattress cover for at least 12 months (same type of cover used to control dust mites, such as Allerzip), or throw the mattress out. If you throw out an infested mattress, chair or couch, label it with permanent marker Bed bug infested.
