Bed Bugs have made a recent resurgence all across the United States and are now being found in high-end hotels, bed and breakfasts, homes, apartment complexes, hospitals, movie theaters, cruise ships and college residence halls. Traveling is among the most likely way to introduce Bed Bugs. The early detection of Bed Bugs is very difficult. In many cases Bed Bugs will go undetected during an inspection particularly during the early stages of an infestation when only a few bugs or eggs are present. Even the most qualified inspector will be challenged when the entire infestation consists of two eggs that were laid on a piece of luggage to hitch hike a ride to your home. Bed bugs are mostly active at night and extremely shy and wary. Bed bugs feed on the blood of human hosts, much like cows at a trough. Their bite is generally painless and many victims are unaware that they have been bitten. Bed bug bites however, are a severe nuisance. Some people respond to bites with inflamed spots and severe itching. Over 28 disease pathogens have been found in bed bugs. |
