(MENAFN Editorial) Bill Trott, from Bills Pest  & Termite Control, is warning customers in his service area  about tropical bed bugs. These bugs tend to harbor in warm, humid  areas. After a 60 year hiatus, there has been a confirmed  tropical bed bug sighting in Florida.  
    Travelers are at an increased risk for    spreading these bugs to other parts of the country.  
    Bill Trott reports, "Tropical Bed Bugs were    the dominate species in Asia, Africa, and South America while    common bed bugs were found throughout the U.S. It takes an    experienced bed bug exterminator to detect the subtle    differences in these public health menaces."  
    The last time tropical bed bugs were seen in    this country was in the early 1940s. Scientists have discovered    what they believe to be the reemergence of the once plaguing    pest.  
    The first case was in a home in Brevard    County. The homeowners called the University of Florida    Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences to research their    findings. While this is only the first sighting, researchers    believe this is not an isolated incident.  
    Many people travel to Florida each year for    vacation. Even those from Phoenix make their way to see that    famous mouse and the tranquil beaches. However, a vacation this    year could leave travelers bringing home more than    memories.  
    The conditions are right in this Southern    state to help spread this tropical bed bug. People are    traveling and could be moving these bu from state to    state.  
    The tropical bed bug, like their cousins, feed    on human blood. A bite from either species can cause itchy,    rash-like reactions along with psychological distress.  
    State officials in Florida are urging    homeowners to report any bed bug sightings that fit the    criteria for this tropical bug. They are urging customers to    send their bugs to the University of Florida in Gainesville for    further identification.  
    Though these bugs have not been spotted in    Arizona, it is just a matter of time before they could    arrive.  
    As a pest control specialist, Mr. Trott wants    customers to know that to reduce the risk of an infestation,    they should reduce the clutter in their home. If they see any    bed bugs at all, they should have them treated and evaluated by    an expert.
