FARMINGTON Bed bugs don't discriminate.

"They are a true hitchhiker," said Bruce Carter, owner of Carter Services Inc., a local pest control company.

The pests don't care about age, race or political affiliation.

Occupants of People Assisting the Homeless, a Farmington homeless shelter, say bed bugs have been biting them at night. But Executive Director Jonna Sharpe said the pests were eradicated by a pest control business.

Carter said his technicians often respond to two or three bed bugs calls a week in Farmington. The pests often infest apartment complexes, motels, and hotels, but Carter's technicians have fumigated cars, as well, he said.

The pests don't transmit disease and aren't a public health risk, New Mexico Department of Health Spokesman Kenny Vigil said.

Many local agencies institute policies to discourage bed bugs. Several years ago, when the pests were closing hotels down across the country, Family Crisis Center Executive Director Opal Cole created a policy for her shelter.

WHAT ARE BED BUGS?

Bed bugs (or Cimicidae and Cimex lectularius) are small parasitic insects. Bed bugs usually refers to those specimens that prefer to feed on human blood, but all the insects in this family survive solely on the blood of warm-blooded animals.

The name bed bug comes from the insects typical habitat in beds, mattresses or couches, where they have easy access to feeding on humans. Bed bugs are mostly active at night. Bed bug bites can lead to skin rashes, allergic symptoms and even have psychological effects.

In the developed world, bed bugs were largely eradicated as pests in the early 1940s, but they have increased there presence in the western world since about 1995, probably due to a resistance to pesticides.

Home Remedies to Get Rid of Bed Bugs – Bed Bugs

Posted on November 16, 2014 by Pest Controller Click Here For Article

Home remedies that you can use to get rid of bed bugs vary - from environment-friendly and non-toxic insecticides to something simple as steam and heat treatments. All these are effective enough to neutralize bedbug infestations. The market is full effective bug killers made from fossilized remains of various algae types. Such insecticide products are proven environment friendly. The fine powder in these insecticides contains very sharp particles that can harm the bugs exoskeleton, and killing them upon contact. You can apply it on baseboards or rub into carpets after vacuuming. This is a good way of putting an exclamation point on the infestation.

Heat and steam treatment options use simple, but dead-effective principles in crippling and eliminating bug infestations for good. Heat is particularly effective in exterminating bugs in different stages, including the eggs. They cannot withstand 120 F and above. Washing your clothes and bed linens in the dryer using this specific thermal setting neutralizes all bedbugs clinging on them.

Since you cannot do the same with much larger items like the mattress, using a steam cleaner should do the job. Using steam is very effective in killing the eggs (especially if they are snug comfortably deep in the mattress pores), which are supposedly more resilient than adult bugs. To make for a decisive steam treatment effort, experts strongly suggest that the steam coming out of steam cleaners should be set above 200 F so they can penetrate deep enough to where the bug eggs hibernate. If you fail to realize this fact, then your efforts in neutralizing the bug infestation will fail since the next generation bedbugs were spared from your efforts.

If you are suffering regularly from bedbugs, you can make good use of bedbug mattress covers since it is a good remedy without the chemical components to neutralize the problem. It offers immediate comfort and relief from the bites. Such encasement seals off mattresses completely; it leaves bugs without any gap to enter or to escape. You can also encase your pillows as well. To kill the bugs trapped within, you can opt to keep the covers on for at least a year since bedbugs are known to survive one whole year without feeding.

While at it, you must also make sure to isolate your bed away from the walls so the bugs will not have easy access to your bed. You can also cover the four legs of the bed using double-sided duct tapes. This sticky barrier will surely trap visiting bugs towards their destination (and that is your bed of course). Make sure that you also avoid your clothes and other items hang off the bed touching the floor. This provides bugs with easy access to your bed. These approaches on how to get rid of bed bugs for good should keep them at bay. Finally, you can have that uninterrupted sleep.
