New Jersey (PRWEB) March 08, 2012
Bed bugs have been known to humans for thousands of years, but they have recently returned to the Eastern United States in record numbers. To some, these little bugs might just seem like minor annoyances, but if one knows enough about them they will be able to see why they need to be eliminated from human habitations. These minuscule hemoparasites cause uncomfortable skin welts, decrease the sanitary standards of your living space, and are incredibly difficult to remove. This means if someone gets a big infestation you might have to spend thousands of dollars and destroy some of your cherished possessions. It will definitely be a lot more painful if you don't hire a knowledgeable pest control professional.
There are some theories as to why bed bugs have returned in recent years. One is that there has been a change in the methods extermination used by pest control companies. Regardless of the reason it is important to contact a trained professional to deal with them. Alco NJ Animal & Pest Control is perfectly suited to dealing with any pest control problem you might have, but especially bed bugs. Alco specializes in humanely dealing with pest problems from both a human and animal perspective. For example: say bed bugs have infested the king-sized bed someone receives as a wedding gift. Alco understands how sentimental an object like this is, so delicate methods will be used to remove the bugs without harming the bed. Considering bed bugs have recently increased their population in nearby New York City over twofold, its satisfying to know that Alco keeps up with the latest methods.
Alco NJ Animal & Pest Control has recently begun to expand to New York in order to deal with the massive influx of bed bugs in recent years. This new offshoot company, Alco Pest NY, has its own website and contact information to better assist residents of that state in dealing with their bed bug problems. Alco deals with every sort of client, whether they are residential, commercial, or government. Some of the company's most important state and county government clients include the Bergen County Police Department, the Bergen County Court House, and the Passaic County Housing Authority. The company's owner, Alan Constantino, even gave a talk about bed bugs for the New Jersey Environmental Health Association in 2007. Alco will use this knowledge to combat bed bugs in both New Jersey and New York State in order to ensure the epidemic is brought back under control.
Some common questions we are asked include:
"What is a bed bug?"
Bed bugs are small hemoparasitic insects that live inside of human habitations. The word hemoparasite means the bugs feed on human blood, which they do at night while their prey, humans, are sleeping. They hide in clothes, bedsprings, and cracks in the wall. They will live wherever they can fit, and wherever they think they won't be found. Bed bugs are in the insect order known as Hemiptera, also known as the true bugs. These insects are all relatively small and ovular, and they resemble beetles except for the fact that they lack mandibles and hard outer wing casings. The mandibles on true bugs have been modified to become sucking mouthparts, which in bed bugs are used to pierce human skin. Aphids are also true bugs, and their mouthparts are used to pierce plants to suck sap.
"Where did bed bugs come from?"
Bed bugs are thought to have come from the ancient Middle East, but they spread quickly around the world because their preferred source of blood, humans, did as well. They were recorded as a nuisance by many ancient civilizations, including the Greeks and Romans.
