Dear Editor:

Re: Bedbug battle, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 28

I have fought bedbugs in both my house and in the apartment of a relative this year and disagree with some of the advice in your article. Bedbugs can absolutely be a do-it-yourself project using a search-and-destroy strategy.

If you have just a few bugs, they will mostly be on your bed. Take the bed apart, search all its surfaces and nooks and crannies. When you clear it, any bugs living elsewhere in the room or apartment will move in. If you just search your bed every couple of days and kill everything you find, eventually you will get them all.

If you have an infestation, there is some major cleaning to do, sorting and bagging of stuff and often discarding things like mattresses or box springs. But the basic principle remains the same: Attract them to where you sleep, and then search them out and kill them.

If you learn how to recognize eggs and baby bugs as well as adult bugs, the task will go faster. If you have no idea where to start looking, it can be a good idea to get a pest control officer in to help you get started. You might want to get a set of bedbug traps on the legs of your bed and zipped wraps for your mattress.

It may take as long as a couple of months to get every last bug, but you can do it. Keep track of your bites (if you show bites), and when you've gone two weeks bite-free, you are likely free and clear.

Warm winter leads to more bugs in SWFL homes

Posted on March 15, 2012 by pcenet Click Here For Article

FORT MYERS -

Pest control professionals say insects are invading homes in Southwest Florida thanks to a warmer than usual winter.

Tempco Pest Control is seeing more and more requests for services than this time last year.

"Normally, insects go dormant and we aren't seeing it this year," says Tempco president Mike Ryan.

Ryan says it's because of the mild winter temperatures, instead of freezes killing the bugs off, the older bugs are sticking around and new ones are popping up.

The problem is especially prominent with fleas, ants, and ticks.

"It's one of the worst seasons we have seen in a long time," says Fort Myers Pest Control supervisor Ivan Starkey.

Fort Myers Pest Control says they're getting 60 to 70 calls per day for fleas and ticks. But what's more alarming is that calls for bed bugs have gone up 300 percent since 2011.

"We're going to experience it and until we get the rains and things settle down, we are going to have a serious bug situation," Starkey says.

But while we wait for temperatures to cool off, experts have suggestions to take at home.

I live in fear. The bed bugs. Are literally. Everywhere. Theyre in my bed, my furniture, my chair at work, the conference room. Theyre on that guy next to me on the subway, and that girl sitting over there. Hey, get away from me. Did you just touch me? I hope you didnt. Im sending you my dry cleaning bill.

I am tormented. Every night I lie awake, feeling the sheets for them, popping the covers up fast to surprise them as they launch their attack. I reach down to scratch my leg. Whats that bump? Oh man, its a bug! Oh wait, its a birthmark. But whats this I feel by my foot? Oh lord, its a bug! Oh wait, its a microbial speck of lint. Only, is it? No! Oh wait, yes.

Ive pretty much ceased shopping (an unexpected and positive side effect) and I inspect the seams of seat cushions in taxis (this, on the other hand, is generally inadvisable). Just thinking about them gives me hives, which I become convinced are bites, which gives birth to new hives, and so on and so forth. This cannot go on.

Heres the thing: I dont actually have bed bugs. As far as I know, they are not now nor have ever been in my apartment. But they could be! I had a brush with them in a mistake of a hotel in Washington, D.C., and I managed to leave them there. But I feel like I just dodged a Nina-seeking missile. Did you ever see Final Destination?

Bedbugs force Burlington City woman out of home

Posted: Wednesday, March 14, 2012 11:15 am | Updated: 12:40 pm, Wed Mar 14, 2012.

BURLINGTON CITY Moynelle Michael-King had lived in her Taylor Avenue home for five years when she suddenly got unexpected roommates.

Six-legged ones.

A mass of bedbugs invaded her house, which is half of a double, in July 2010. They crawled through cracks in the walls, skittered across the floor when she turned on a light, and dropped on her as she slept.

I couldnt even put my hand in a drawer, said Michael-King, an Army veteran who works as a music teacher.

Named for their proclivity for hiding around the bed, the bloodsucking parasites are brown and to 3/8 inches long. They can lurk in the seams of chairs and couches, between cushions, and in the folds of curtains. They come out to feed on blood about every five to 10 days, but can survive for more than a year without feeding, according to the National Institutes of Health.

The critters have driven Michael-King out of her home.

So far, the problem has cost her $5,000 in extermination fees and lost personal items she has had to ditch. While shes thankful to be staying with friends in Robbinsville, the commute to her job in the Camden School District has only added to the toll, and shes still paying $1,400 a month for her mortgage.

Michael-King said the infestation which also includes roaches started about the same time that a revolving door of roommates took up residence next door. Strong cooking odors came from next door, construction noises rumbled, and mattresses were left leaning against the side of the house, she said.

She turned to the city for help.
