How to Spot and Control Bed Bugs

Posted on February 12, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Orillia Today

Bed bugs can be hard to see but if theyre in your home it wont be long till you feel their presence. Bed bug bites can develop into painful, itchy welts and, for the more sensitive people, can even lead to anaphylaxis. Allergens from bed bugs have also been associated with asthmatic reactions. TK Pest Control in Orillia and Muskoka, Ontario, has been helping rid homes of pests such as bed bugs since 2000. Heres how you can determine if bed bugs are in your home.

The first sign that you have bed bugs in your home is often bites. You usually dont feel the bite until some time later, when the skin becomes irritated and inflamed. Small, swollen welts can develop at the site of the bites, which can be accompanied by itching, often severe. The itching can last hours or several days. People who are very sensitive to the bites may need to visit a doctor.

If you think youre being bitten by bed bugs, there are telltale signs youll find in your home. Look for blood stains or rusty spots of bug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, and walls. You can also look for eggshells and shed skins near hiding spots.

While bed bugs usually stay close to their food source, they can travel up to 100 feet to feed so you need to check any small cracks or crevices where they can hide. Begin by checking the bed, including mattress seams, the box spring, the bed frame, and headboard. Then carefully examine baseboards around the bedroom, outlets, cracks in walls, and even peeling wallpaper.

Bed bugs are hardy pests and can live at least a year without eating a blood meal. Travellers often carry them in their suitcases and clothes so they are easily passed on to others. Once bed bugs are brought into your home, it can quickly develop into an infestation as females lay about 300 eggs, which then hatch in less than 21 days.

For help detecting and exterminating bed bugs in the Orillia and Muskoka areas, please contact TK Pest Control via phone. In Muskoka call (705) 687-9477, in Orillia call (705) 325-8239 or toll-free at (877) 325-8239. The company provides professional workmanship that you can trust. You can also follow them on Facebook!

Bed Bugs Pester Ohio Library, My Cleaning Products Recommends a Bed Bug Spray To Get Rid of Them Immediately

Posted on February 12, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Columbus, OH (PRWEB) February 11, 2014

Bed bugs were reportedly traced in Mansfield/Richland County Public Library in Ohio. And responding to it, My Cleaning Products suggested a pesticide-exempt bed bug spray to help anyone dealing with the same problem kill the pest immediately.

A report from mainsfieldnewsjournal.com, published on February 08, 2014, said that the traces of the critters were found in the children and the adult departments of the library. And as it detailed, particularly, they were detected in the upholstered benches, books and magazines in those sections of the facility.

To get rid of the critters, the report related that the benches were destroyed and then replaced with wooden chairs. Meanwhile, the books and magazines, it added, were treated before they were returned.

As it also related, the bed bug issue in the building started in November or December of last year. It detailed that one bed bug was found in a book returned, which was then contained and treated.

Here is a part of the post Library Goes Head to Head With Bed Bugs by My Cleaning Products.

Bed bugs are loving the libraries. As a report has it, they infested yet another one recently. And that is the Mansfield/Richland County Public Library in Ohio.

Traces of the critters were found in the facility in three instances already. But initially, they were detected back in November or December when one of them was found in a returned material. To contain the pest in it, it was said that the book was put in a zipped plastic bag and was later treated in high heat.

According to MCP, the fact that bed bugs are becoming common even in libraries is an indication that they are now more prevalent. Because of that, it warned the public of their possible presence. And to protect themselves from them, it also gave out two advises.

Firstly, the company advised everyone to take preventive measures. It said that there is now an even higher risk of anyone picking up those vampire-like pests anywhere, hence, the steps are necessary to block their entry.

Bedbug education and safety a concern

Posted on February 12, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Just the mention of bedbugs is enough to raise concern about transmitting the insidious creatures from one location to another.

Eliminating the stigma attached to discovery of them in a home helps get the problem addressed before drastic measures may be needed, official said.

Psychologically they can mess you up. We really want to take the education approach to dealing with the problem, said Bracken County Health Department Director Tony Cox. They are not a health hazard, but they are annoying and not a stranger to any economic level.

For those who try to avoid the cost of professional treatment, home remedies have had dangerous and tragic outcomes in the region, police said.

From Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Phoenix, Arizona, cases are documented of fires related to attempts to exterminate bedbugs.

A fatal fire in Bracken County in July 2013, that killed five members of a family, was determined to be the result of an attempt at home treatment, and an infestation turned into a tragedy.

According to Kentucky State Police officials, the incident has been labeled an accidental fire that resulted in the death of Rani Doss and her children Emily, Bradley, Dylan and Michael.

Parts of the house was treated with a flammable product with residual fumes for an infestation of bedbugs and was not adequately ventilated, police said.

As a result, something in the house ignited the remaining fumes, causing the house to explode and catch fire, police said.

Investigators, due to the complete destruction of the house along Kentucky 19 in the fire, were not able to determine an ignition source, which could have been any spark, police said.
