Here’s the Closest City to New England That’s Crawling With Bed Bugs – wokq.com

Posted on December 12, 2023 by admin Click Here For Article

January marks the start of travel season. It's the time of year when most people book their travel plans, and for goodness sake, there are some cities to stay away from.

According to orkin.com, the top 50 cities in the country ranked for the most bed bug treatments are the big ones, and a few smaller ones you might not think of.

There's good news for New Englanders and anyone making plans to travel to New England. There were no New England cities in the top 50 places where bed bugs are found most, but the #2 ranked city was just down the I-95 corridor in New York City.

Chicago still ranks #1 as they can't seem to get a handle on the bugs, but New York is up there in rank too. #3 is Philadelphia, and at #4 the smaller city of Cleveland-Akron. Los Angeles trails behind right after.

Here's what's interesting.

The University of Maine studies bed bugs and here's what the cooperative extension writes:

Some factors that have favored their renewed expansion include a rise in international travel as countries ease or cancel their COVID-19 restrictions, the ongoing popularity of thrift shops and yard sales, and the number of people buying used furniture.

So the rise in bed bugs in the United States is not just travel but other factors as well, which puts these blood-sucking pests back into the news again.

Bed bugs are really good at hiding, "in the seams of mattresses, in box springs, in cracks of floorboards, behind peeled wallpaper, in picture frames, in couches, stuffed chairs, clothing and even the seams of curtains; wherever a dark crack or crevice might be", according to the University of Maine.

Orkin.com adds bed bugs are resilient, which makes them hard to control and eradicate. So while making those travel plans (or buying that old sofa), keep this in mind.

Now stop itching.

Bed bugs cause motel in Cleveland to almost fail inspection – Local 3 News

Posted on December 12, 2023 by admin Click Here For Article

It was a wonderful week for restaurants across the Tennessee Valley. There are no failing scores this week.

A motel in Cleveland nearly failed its inspection when the inspector found bed bugs.

Applegate Motel on APD 40 scored a 77.

The inspector said there were no hangers in the rooms.

They noted that in two of the rooms the smoke detector was not working.

Three rooms were found to have bed bugs, and the inspector said professional treatment must be performed before renting the room again.

A live roach was seen by the inspector in room 128.

The floor was found to be dirty and walls were in poor repair.

It is important to note a 77 is not a failing score.

There is also an update on last weeks failing score.

Fulins Asian Cuisine received an 89 on its follow-up inspection.

If you have a question about a restaurant, hotel, pool or gym call your local health department.

Colorado Travel Warning: Beware of Bed Bugs in These 50 Cities – K99

Posted on December 12, 2023 by admin Click Here For Article

Colorado is home to the nation's largest airport and many of us will be traveling for the holidays. The last thing you want to do when you travel home is bring back bed bugs.

Bed bugs are becoming a lot more common in the United States. Bed bugs can attach to your luggage and clothes when you travel as well.

Have you ever dealt with bed bugs? It is a nightmare. I had bed bugs in an apartment I had in college. I had a pest control company solve the issue. They put a giant sign on my door that said my apartment was invaded by bed bugs.

An email was sent out to all of the residents. It was pretty embarrassing.

I hate to break it to you, but bed bugs are often found in hotels and Airbnb's across the country. Many people will travel and have no idea that there are bed bugs where they are staying.

A lot of travelers will sleep in a bed bug-infested bed and the bed bugs will attach to either their clothes or luggage. Then the traveler comes home and the bed bugs will infest their home.

We don't want you to have this problem.

It is not extremely common for Colorado to have native bed bug infestations. When Coloradans have bed bugs, it is commonly attributed to traveling.

Here are three quick tips for checking for bed bugs when you travel.

I would recommend going ahead and purchasing a bed bug detector. It's easy and quick. That way you can have ease of mind.

Every year the pest control gurus at Orkin put together a list of the Top 50 Bed Bug Destinations in the United States. Which areas do you travel to that you should take extra care to watch out for these blood-sucking insects? Let's countdown to the most bed-bug-riddled city in the United States.
