Bed Bugs are the little creatures that may come out at night and invade your bed or furniture - like couches or mattresses. They seem to prefer human and other warm blooded creatures. Bed bug infestations were common in the United States before World War II. But with improvements in hygiene, and widespread use of DDT until it was banned, the bugs nearly vanished. However, they remained active outside the US. So how does it get to the US?
1. We travel out of the country and the bed bugs latch on to you, your clothing and things you pack in your luggage for the trip back to the US.
2. We have visitors and new residents coming to the US each day from foreign countries.
3. When we travel we stay in hotels or other accommodations that may have a bed bug problem(s).
In Multi-family housing units, it is believed the bed bug can travel through duct work, cracks between units (they don't have to be big)- tenant's furniture being moved in and out - allows simple transfer around the building.
It's possible for one of you to be bitten and another resident in your home not.
The University of Kentucky, College of Agriculture, Department of Entomology has an excellent website on Bed Bugs, their control and more.
Adult bedbugs are reddish-brown, with a flat oval shape, and wingless, with microscopic hairs. They don't move fast, so you should be able to spot them.
Bedbugs can live for a year or longer without feeding but they normally try to feed every five to ten days. Bedbugs that go dormant for lack of food often live longer than a year, while well-fed specimens typically live six to nine months.
Bedbugs will appear at night, when they need to eat (your blood) and sense the hear given off by your body.
