Bed Bugs (Cimex Lectularius), have been able to make their presence strongly felt once again due to the recent influx of tourism and affordable travelling rates. These tiny pests, about the size of an apple-seed, can be found in planes, hotels, theaters, shopping centers and, worst of all, your own home or business. Bed bugs attach themselves to clothing and luggage, and in this manner they find their way into your lives.
Since they feed mostly on human blood, they are called Bed Bugs because they like the beds that we sleep on. Essentially since we are often inactively sleeping through out the night, we become victims to their appetite. A human generally wont feel a Bed Bug bite, but they will pierce your skin and can cause redness or swelling. As they bite they deposit saliva, which can cause an allergic reaction and painful irritation to many. These bites don’t usually pass on any diseases to us, but active studies are determining the effects of disease transition through Bed Bug bites, between humans.
A thorough and repeated treatment can ensure your wellness and mental health. Bed Bugs can hide in your mattress, but also make nests behind pictures, wall paper, paneling, sofas, chairs and even in electrical outlets. Every nook and cranny needs to be treated, and simply discarding infected furniture or clothing will not resolve your Bed Bug issue.
