The size and shape of an apple seed, bed bugs feed on human blood while their victims sleep. Their bites can raise angry, fiercely itching red welts and occasionally cause severe allergic reactions; but it is the psychosomatic trauma these tiny insects incite that makes bed bugs such an unwelcome pest.
Tough exoskeletons and a secretive nature makes it difficult to eradicate these easily spread insect pests. The bed bug experts atEliminex Pest Control understand how upsetting a bed bug infestation can be to homeowners and the potential damage these bugs can inflict on business reputations. Bedbugs have now hit hotels and homes in every state. In fact, the bedbug population in the United States has increased by 500% in the past few years with New Jersey and New York being documented "hot spots" of activity.
Why are Bed Bugs now a problem in New Jersey?
Like lice and fleas, bed bugs have been human bedmates since they crawled out of bat and bird nests and into the beds of our ancient ancestors. After World War II, DDT effectively eliminated bed bugs in the U.S., but these blood-sucking pests continued to be a problem in other countries. When the environmentally hazardous effects of DDT were discovered and the insecticide was banned in the 1970s, bed bugs started creeping back into American beds, returning in the luggage of foreign travelers. Infestations are now common in all 50 states, but the New Jersey and New York City international gateway is the most heavily infested area in the U.S.
WHERE ARE BED BUGS FOUND?
Bed bugs hide deep in tiny cracks and crevices in and near their victims' beds. Look for adult bugs, shed exoskeletons and telltale black fecal smears along the welts and tufts of mattresses, under the fabric covering box springs, behind headboards, along baseboards and under nightstand drawers.
Bed bugs may also harbor behind picture frames, under loose wallpaper and inside alarm clocks, iPods, TVs or lamps. When infestations are severe, bed bugs may be seen gathering on walls or ceilings near heating ducts and a ripe raspberry scent may be noticeable. Infestations in apartment buildings, hotels, schools and nursing homes are particularly difficult to control as bed bugs spread readily on clothing and cleaning carts and through ducts, wall voids and utility conduits.
