A California couple's vacation in Manhattan was ruined when they discovered bed bugs in their hotel room.

A California couple's vacation in Manhattan was ruined when they...

A viral video showing the bed bugs a California couple found on the mattress in their New York City hotel room will make your skin crawl.

In the six-minute clip,Elgin Ozlen of Long Beach, Calif., flips over the mattress at the Astor on the Park hotel to reveal black clusters of scurrying bugs.

"An infestation where my girlfriend slept last night..." Ozlen says in the clip. "I can't believe it. They're everywhere on the bed. I hope no one ever stays in here again."

Ozlen goes on to show a horrifying rash covering his girlfriend's body.

Ozlen and his girlfriend splurged on the $400-a-night Central Park hotel to celebrate New Year's Eve and his 30th birthday. He told the New York Daily News the getaway was ruined after his girlfriend received more than 75 bites spread across her fingers, toes, arms and stomach. The couple missed the ball drop on New Year's Eve, and on New Year's Day they had tickets to see the Rockette's but never made it to the show.

Katie Phillips of Australia was also staying at the Astor on the Park over New Year's and told ABC News her stay was "near perfect" and she didn't find any bugs in her room.

Ozlen's video has received nearly a million page views since he posted it on Jan. 1.

An increasing number of bed bug complaints are being seen in Clermont County. This is not surprising given the flurry of activity around bed bugs in surrounding areas. Immigration, international travel and restrictions in the use of effective pesticides are suspected in the rising number of bed bug infestations.

Although bed bugs are not known to spread disease from person to person the bites can cause severe reactions. Bed bugs are difficult to treat. Treatment can take several months and be very costly taking an emotional and financial toll on families. Bed bugs can be found anywhere. They are not selective of their habitat only that they like cracks and crevices to hide in and a human host.

Bed bugs are small (about inch), brown, oval-shaped, flat insects which inhabit human dwellings. They hide during the day, and feed on people at night while they are sleeping. Their bite produces white welts which may itch severely. The bugs can be crushed by a sleeper during the night and leave bloodstains on the sheets. If these signs are present the first place to look for the bugs is on the mattress, particularly in the seams.

Bed bugs lay eggs every day (1 to 12) on rough surfaces or in cracks where they stick. The eggs hatch in 6 to 17 days, and the nymphs can feed immediately. The nymphs are much smaller and white, but turn red when theyve had a blood meal. Bed bugs reach maturity after five molts in about 21 days. Adults can live 12 to 18 months without a blood meal.

Bed bugs will hide in every place they can find, behind light switch covers, in electronics, toys, furniture, clothing, picture frames, and knick-knacks. If there is a severe infestation bed bugs may be seen during the day on the walls or ceiling.

Infested items which cannot be treated must be discarded, or sealed in bags and stored 12-18 months until the bed bugs die. Mattresses can be treated with an appropriate pesticide, and then sealed in a plastic mattress bag. Bed bugs can be effectively eliminated from clothing, curtains, and bed linens by washing them in hot water and/or drying for 15 to 30 minutes on the hot setting. Dry clothing should be kept sealed in plastic bags until needed. Upholstered furniture is difficult to treat, and professional steam cleaning may be required.

Without treatment bed bugs will spread to every part of a home, so begin treatment as soon as they are discovered. Hiring a professional licensed exterminator is strongly recommended. The chemical treatment of a bed bug infestation is best left to a professional exterminator. Only a licensed exterminator has access to the restricted use pesticides which are most effective. The pesticides available to non-licensed persons will probably not achieve effective control. Also, the indiscriminate use of pesticides can create an environmental hazard, or a health hazard, and can cause pests to develop a resistance to pesticides.

If self-treating, look for a pesticide labeled for use against bedbugs. A pesticide which is not labeled for use against a particular bug will not kill that bug. Insect repellents with DEET will not repel bedbugs. There is currently no known chemical safe for use on humans which will repel bed bugs.

Whether a professional exterminator is hired or not, there are things the occupantsshould do to control bed bugs. In addition to the things already mentioned, it is important to eliminate clutter. Bed bugs will be difficult or impossible to eradicate if there is clutter such as clothing and toys on the floor. The home should be vacuumed daily, and the bag emptied or discarded (bed bugs can crawl out of the bag). Bed bugs should not be smashed and left on the wall as the bedbug may contain an egg which will hatch. Spraying bed bugs with 90% isopropyl rubbing alcohol will kill them on contact. Isopropyl alchohol should only be used for spot treatment to kill single insects. It should not be used for treatment of furniture or a home.Keep in mind that alcohol is a solvent which may mark furniture finishes.

Bed bugs are brought into a home by several means. An occupant can bring them home on used furniture picked out of dumpsters, or brought from infested homes. They can hitch a ride on clothing, bags, bedding, and toys when visiting an infested home. Visitors who live in an infested home can carry bedbugs to other homes. Bedbugs can travel through the walls from an infested unit in an apartment building to other units.

If bed bugs or other vermin are found in a rental unit the landlord or manager is responsible for hiring an exterminator since an exterminator cannot treat without the owners permission.Surrounding units should be checked for bedbugs, and treated if necessary. As a rule pesticides should not be applied where no pests are found.

If forced to visit a home which is known or suspected to be infested with bed bugs avoid sitting, particularly on upholstered furniture, and especially avoid sleeping in the home. If possible, wear a coverall, and change clothes immediately after leaving the infested home. Bag clothing or other items which may be contain bed bugs, and wash or treat as soon as possible.

Bed bug infestations can be costly, and are very aggravating. It is best to avoid an infestation. One bed bug or one egg brought home can start an infestation. Carefully check any used furniture brought home. Check mattresses even if they are bought new before bringing them into your home. Be careful who you visit, and who you invite into your home.

Bed Bug Control for Alabama, Mississippi & Louisiana …

Posted on May 12, 2016 by admin Click Here For Article

The recent explosion in bed bug populations throughout the nation has many apartment dwellers in Alabama and Mississippi concerned. These critters breed rapidly and can be found in even the very cleanest of dwellings. Renters of apartment homes should be on the lookout for signs of an infestation and use the services of a professional exterminator should bed bugs be detected on the premises.

Bed bugs are small creatures that feed on the blood of humans or other warm-blooded animals. They are oval in shape, about 3/8-inch in diameter, and are rather thin. They can therefore hide easily in confined spaces. Bed bugs tend to remain close to one another, emerging at night to feed.

These pests are unknowingly transported by humans. Bed bugs find their way into cardboard boxes, luggage, clothing, and books. Once the apartment dweller has moved into a unit and carried the bugs along for the ride, finding them can be extremely difficult.

Bed bugs crawl along the skin of a sleeping host and make small incisions about every inch or so. They draw a small amount of blood and move onto a new bite location once clotting begins. After they are full, bed bugs become drowsy and fall off the skin to the bed sheet.

Apartment renters in Alabama and Mississippi can detect the presence of bed bugs by examining the mattress and bed frame. Small discolorations and tiny pellets found in the frame, box spring or mattress are a sure sign that the home is infested. It is especially important to keep clutter to a minimum because this makes the job of finding the creatures much easier.

It is a good idea to inspect the home after bringing in any second-hand furniture or appliance, after buying anything from a yard or garage sale, and after the home has been serviced by a repair worker. Moving company personnel often bring bed bugs into a residence because the creatures hide in the large moving crates.

Bed bugs will generally find a place to hide during the day that is close to the food source. Apartment dwellers should look at the interiors of drawers and chests that are kept within six feet of the bed. Anything stored beneath the bed frame such as a box of clothes or other belongings should be inspected for discoloration. Bed bug feces is usually reddish brown in color.

Professional exterminators have developed some new, effective removal techniques. These include the use of non-toxic compounds that are sprayed throughout the interior of the home. Unless all these pests are destroyed, bed bug populations can rebound quickly. It is therefore in the best interest of apartment dwellers to have an expert determine the extent of the problem and choose the appropriate removal method.

Does Cold Kill Bed Bugs? – University of Minnesota

Posted on May 11, 2016 by admin Click Here For Article

Jeffrey Hahn, Asst. Extension Entomologist

Photo 1. Bed bug biting. Jeff Hahn

This has been one of the coldest winters in Minnesota in 15 years. And while it can be challenging to find many good things to say about this kind of weather, many people take consolation that the cold temperatures are good for killing insect pests. The most common question lately has been whether putting out furniture or other articles in very cold weather will kill bed bugs.

Photo 2: Fluctuating, cold temperatures may not reliably kill bed bugs. Jeff Hahn

Cold temperatures can kill bed bugs if they are exposed to it long enough and at temperatures that are cold enough. However, there is not a lot research on this topic to say what those exposures and temperatures are. What information is available is contradictory. One researcher in 1966 found that bed bugs can tolerate temperatures around 5o F for a brief time and when acclimated can survive temperatures at or below 32o F for days. This is in contrast to findings in 1991 that bed bugs are killed when exposed to temperatures around 32o F for just hours, although the same article also went on to say that the eggs are very cold tolerant and need to be exposed to freezing temperatures for 30 to 60 days.

There is even less research that looks at how long you need to freeze bed bugs when they are in furniture or other objects. The U.S. military believes that if you expose furniture to 0o F or less for four days or more, that may be sufficient. While we have been at or below 0o F often, those temperatures have generally fluctuated and have infrequently been sustained for four days or more.

There are other factors to consider. First, the temperature where the bed bugs are hiding may not be as cold as you think it is, i.e. the air temperature is not necessarily the same where the bed bugs are located in the furniture. You also need to factor in the effect of the sun shining on any objects. Although the temperature may say 0o F, the warmth of the sun can considerably raise the temperature in localized areas (as recently witnessed by the melting snow on my roof in near 0o F temperatures).

Again, cold can kill bed bugs, but the bottom line is you can not reliably kill all bed bugs infesting objects by exposing them to 0o F temperatures.

However, if you have or are concerned that you have items that are infested with bed bugs, keeping them outdoors will certainly immobilize any that are present until you decide what to do with them. If you have clothes, you can reliably kill bed bugs by washing or drying them at the highest temperatures allowed by the fabric. If you have other items you are not sure what to do with, contact an experienced pest control service for help in eradicating the bed bugs.

Bed bugs – Alaska Backpackers Inn – TripAdvisor

Posted on May 11, 2016 by admin Click Here For Article

i am very sorry for staying at the alaska backpacker's inn in anchorage. i stayed 5 nights - 2 nights in a private room, 1 night in the hostel dorms, then 2 more nights in a private room.

this place is in a bad part of town, near a homeless shelter and a correctional facility - there are many homeless people around who will beg for money and try to get inside the inn either to find a place to sleep or to take things. many of the guests are extremely loud and yell across the outdoor areas - expect to hear drunken screaming in the middle of the night on weekends, bring earplugs. on my first night there another guest walked around the parking lot screaming trying to find her friend, waking me up - once i was awake this same guest stuck her face directly into my open window and continued to scream into my room, calling for her friend - when i went to the front desk to see what could be done about this, the smug jerk behind the desk mockingly said, "i'll notify security." (they don't have 'security.') my second day there another guest burst into my room, thinking it was his room - the front desk apparently gave him poor instructions in finding his room. later that night i was awakened at about 1:30am, a woman a few doors down had called the police because some man had followed her to her room and loitered outside her window.

the internet connection is HORRIBLE and spotty at best; at times i had to go to the 'clubhouse' in order to use the internet.

their storage area designated for guests to store their luggage before and after check-out is by no means secure; though storage area is usually locked, they allow guests to go inside and put or take belongings without any means of checking what belongs to which guest - anyone can walk-off with anyone else's stuff. when i took my luggage out this afternoon, the staff member who unlocked the door didn't even hang around to see if had locked/closed the door behind me. if you're a thief, just go to the front desk, ask to get your things from their storage room, and take whatever you want - they're too clueless/lazy to have any valid way of marking belongings.

the management seems clueless as to how to run a hostel/inn - one bed i slept in looked and felt as if it were just salvaged from a junk yard. all of the pillows are so old they're like doormats. one good thing is that most of the bathrooms seemed ok and cleaned regularly. the management had posted insulting flyers to all of the guests that stated any guests causing any "drama" would be evicted, not taking practical nor professional steps to preventing such drama, such as enforcing rules regarding noise, smoking, loitering, drinking on the premises, etc. i asked one of the staff members where to wait for a particular shuttle and she told me the wrong place to wait - i missed the shuttle but luckily the driver was able to make a return trip. as i said in the previous paragraph, one staff member was very smug and rude - this was an ongoing thing and i avoided having to make contact with this particular staff member. two staff members at the front desk did seem well informed and polite.

the worst part of my stays at this place was being exposed to bed bugs. i did a 'standard' check for bed bugs in each of the rooms i stayed in but was still bitten, as i write this i have welts on my right arm, on my back, and on my left leg. i was given a refund for the evening i was bitten, moved to another room, and was offered to have all of my clothes laundered - this situation was handled in a professional manner but of course it was too little too late.

if i could go back in time, rather than stay several nights in anchorage as my "home base" in alaska and stay at a cheap place i would instead spend as few days as possible in anchorage and stay at a more reputable hotel and spend the extra money. from what i've seen, anchorage doesn't have enough to offer to put up with the problems of low-cost lodging.
