Bed Bugs are Biting in Hotels

In the 1970s and 80s bed bugs were pretty scarce because of pesticides and other older chemistry that was used to get rid of ants and cockroaches as well. The pesticides pretty much eliminated bed bugs all together, however they were still seen once in a great while. Today things are changing. Bed bugs are becoming more and more of a problem. We are constantly seeing it on the news all around the world, why is this?

In places like Mexico (a real hot bed for bed bugs!) and South America bed bugs have always been rampant. In fact theyve probably developed a resistance to some of the compounds that we use today. So the little hitchhiker bugs come home with travelers thus spreading more and more.

John Bordsen (MCCLATCHY NEWSPAPERS) wrote a very interesting article for the Detroit Free Press. In his article he highlights where bed bugs first came from, something Ive been interested in but havent been able to find a lot of information on. According to Bordsen human beg bugs or Cimex lectularius first became a problem when humans lived in caves, they are actually associated with bats (they both drink blood). According to research bed bugs came to America from Europe at the same time as the first settlers did.

Heres some more shocking news: research says that you really cant detect bed bugs until their population is around 200! In our FAQ we discuss the reproductive habits of a bed bug. In a room that is around 70 degrees and there are 40 bugs give it six months and there would be 5,905 bugs! So imagine not knowing until you have 200 bed bugs.

When it comes down to it the main cause of bed bugs is travel. Therefore no motel or hotel is worse than another, it all depends on if someone has been there who has bed bugs. This also means bed bugs can be found in homes, apartments, schools and businesses. So what can you do? First and foremost be cautious! Taking the time to look for bed bugs when you are on vacation or traveling can save you time, stress and money in the long run. When I say money I mean thousands of dollars! Thats how much people are spending these days to get rid of bed bugs and sometimes that doesnt even work!

For more information on bed bugs check out our FAQ section and Checklist, both found at the top of the page. This will help ensure that you will stay bed bug free!

Bed Bugs in the News: Lexington On Onrkin Top 50 Cities For Bed Bugs

Bed bugsprobably received their common name from their habit of feeding on humans while they sleep in their beds. Bed bugs have also been called red coates, mahogany flats, and wall-lice.

Bed bugs have been a household pest issue for more than 3,300 years, dating back to ancient Egypt. They were first brought to the United States by early colonists, where they thrived for many decades. However, by the 1950s, bed bugs had been all but eradicated in the developed world, thanks to the availability of new pest control products, coupled with the widespread use of vacuums and washing machines which helped to control the spread of infestations in living spaces.

Several factors led to theresurgence of bed bugsbeginning in the late 1990s; increased international travel, more targeted pest control products and methods and a lack of public awareness about pest prevention methods.

SW Ohio ranks again for bedbug treatments

Posted on January 20, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Dayton continues to rank high nationally in the number of bedbug treatments, according to a study from Orkin.

Dayton ranks seventh, while Columbus is third and Cincinnati is fifth in the number of bedbug treatments from January to December 2013.

Bedbugs are about the size and color of a flat apple seed, and are found not only on mattresses and upholstery, but in suitcases, boxes, shoes, wallpaper and headboards. They are parasitic insects of the cimicid family that feed exclusively on blood.

"While studies show that bed bugs do not spread disease, the physical and mental health consequences are well documented and of serious public concern," said Ron Harrison, Ph.D., Orkin entomologist and technical services director.

"Once bedbugs are inside your home or business, they can reproduce quickly and can travel from place to place in personal belongings and even on people. They can also move from place to place on their own, independently of objects," he said.

The list ranks cities by the number of bedbug treatments Orkin performed from January to December 2013.

1. Chicago 2. Los Angeles (+1) 3. Columbus, Ohio (+3) 4. Detroit (-2) 5. Cincinnati 6. Cleveland/Akron/Canton (+2) 7. Dayton (+4) 8. Washington D.C. (-1) 9. Denver (-5) 10. Indianapolis (+6) 11.
