Public awareness needed to prevent bed bugs – Star Beacon …

(BPT) - One of the most feared household pests of the past decade has been the bed bug. What may be the most unnerving part about these tiny pests is how they hide in mattresses, couches and even dressers waiting for their next blood meal.

In recent years there has been an increase in the number of bed bug infestations across the country. About 99 percent of pest professionals have treated for bed bugs in the past year, according to a survey by the National Pest Management Association (NPMA).

Bed bugs have several qualities that specifically help them survive and spread, says Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. The best ways to stop the spread of bed bugs are through education and taking precautions. Consumers should be aware of their surroundings when traveling and be vigilant about searching for signs of an infestation.

Understanding bed bugs

Bed bugs are often mistaken for being nocturnal. The truth is they are attracted to the carbon dioxide emitted by their hosts. For this reason, they tend to feed at night while a person is sleeping and emitting a steady stream of carbon dioxide. However, they will also consume a blood meal during the day - especially in heavily infested areas. Although bed bugs prefer to feed on humans, they will feed on other warm-blooded hosts, too.

Bed bugs hide very easily thanks to their small size and flat, seed-like shape, allowing them to squeeze into tiny cracks and crevices. They can also spread very quickly. One female bed bug can lay one-to-five eggs per day, several hundred in a lifetime. If left untreated, bed bugs can quickly become a much bigger problem for homeowners.

Keeping your home bed bug free

Bed bugs are very good hitchhikers. They can latch onto luggage, clothing or linens and easily move from place to place or room to room. The best defense against bed bugs is awareness and prevention, especially when traveling or on vacation.

If staying in hotels, even five-star accommodations, pull back the sheets on any beds and check for bed bugs themselves or the telltale signs theyve been there. Look for shed body casings, and dark red or brown spots on the mattress or along its seams. Consider packing a flashlight to use in these visual inspections. When checking an area for bed bugs, be sure any bags are placed off the floor on a hard surface. This reduces the likelihood of a bed bug latching onto it for a ride home. And once home, throw clothes in the dryer on high heat, vacuum the suitcase interior and exterior, and dispose of the vacuum receptacle contents immediately.

Massachusetts Bed Bugs | Bedbug Exterminator in MA

Do you have Massachusetts bed bugs at your location? For many residents the very idea seems impossible. Maybe in some far off, poverty stricken part of the Third World, but not in New England!

Yet the truth is that bed bugs are making their way into Massachusetts, and not just in the poorer parts of big cities but in the bedroom communities of suburbia. How is this possible? With people today traveling all over the world it is all too common for bed bugs to find their way into our homes from luggage, clothing, and hotel linen. The fact that some pesticides that are effective against bed bugs such as DDT have been banned for environmental reasons also has not helped. And it doesn't take much, just one female bed bug carrying eggs is sufficient to start an infestation.

How can you tell if you have bed bugs in Massachusetts? Bed bugs look the same as bed bugs anywhere else: small, flat, brown, oval and they do not have wings. They are so tiny that you often don't see them - but if they are there, you can feel them! Their bites cause reddish sores on your skin similar to a mosquito, although people who are especially sensitive can have more severe reactions. The good news is that bed bugs are not known to carry any serious diseases, but that is small comfort if you can't get a good night's sleep due to the biting pests.

So what can you do about bed bugs? Unfortunately, once you have them as unwelcome guests in your home not much can be done to get rid of bed bugs in Massachusetts on your own. Because they are so small it is a hopeless task to try to kill them all yourself. That is especially true if you live in an apartment, since bed bugs tend to spread to infest the whole building. Unless you treat the entire building, they will quickly find their way back from the infested apartments next door.

Therefore, once a bed bug infestation occurs, only the use of professional pest control or extermination services can solve the problem. While it's hard to put a price on a good night's sleep, if you've ever been a victim of bed bugs, then you know that it's a price worth paying.

Our exterminators can help you with:

Battling bed bugs with extreme heat

Posted on October 21, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

Updated: Tuesday, October 21 2014, 08:55 PM CDT

Reported by: Donna Kirker Morgan

HARRISBURG, Pa. -- When bed bugs started to spread in the United States 10 years ago there was really nothing very effective at getting rid of the nasty pests.

Exterminators have been working for years to figure out what's best to get rid of the bugs, but including using a non-chemical solution.

Bed bugs don't survive in extreme cold or heat, and that's why if bed bugs are suspected between your sheets, run your bedding through a clothes dryer and high for a full cycle.

Heat has the ability to kill all three stages of bed bugs, but some chemicals don't damage the eggs.

That's why some exterminators are turning to Entotherm. The process can kill bed bugs in four hours with temperatures between 120 and 140 degrees.

The process has been used in bedrooms, hotel rooms and offices.

Normal bed bug treatments take three parts, but the Entotherm is a one-shot deal.

The Entotherm process starts with exterminators sealing off an area and removing anything that may explode or not do well in heat. Sensitive electronics are also covered and drawers are opened to improve airflow, with all clutter moved off the ground.

Winning the bed bug battle at the Cabell County Public Library

Posted on October 21, 2014 by admin Click Here For Article

HUNTINGTON, West Virginia -

We have all heard the phrase, " Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite."

But it's not just beds where the biting pests like to nest.

Many public facilities are waging a not-so-private war against bed bugs.

Cabell County Library manager Judy Rule said over the past few months her well-studied bed bug staff sealed up six returned books with bed bugs inside. And she then banned those library patrons from borrowing any more books until they can show they will not be returning infested materials in the future.

Cabell County Health Dept Environmentalist Stan Mills said, "Although bed bugs like beds the best, they're tucked into low-rises, high-rises, they are everywhere."

Mills added the biting pests do not carry diseases and crave two things, tight places and human blood.

Rule said to monitor the problem she and her staff have been placing sticky strips in several tight places. And so far they have found two bed bugs.

Mills say bed bugs are likely transferred through transients.

But Rule says none of the library's bed bug books came from a Huntington City Mission patron.
