Ansonia,
CT (April 25, 2013)
-- According to a survey conducted by the NPMA and the University of
Kentucky, 95 percent of professional pest management companies in the
United States have dealt with an infestation of bed bugs in the last
twelve months. Before 2000, only 25 percent reported one or more
encounters with these creatures. "Bed bug infestations need to
be treated immediately as the bugs bite and may cause allergic
reactions," according to Jim Miller of Yale Termite and Pest
Elimination (http://www.yalepest.com).
Home
owners often attempt to treat this problem on their own with very
little success. According to those surveyed, bed bugs continue to be
the hardest pest to treat. An overwhelming 76 percent of respondents
stated bed bugs are harder to treat than ants, termites and
cockroaches. "Property owners need to seek the services of a
professional pest company
(http://www.yalepest.com/extermination-services/bed-bugs/bed-bug-exterminator)
to get rid of the bugs as a bed bug may lay more than 500 eggs in
their lifetime," Mr. Miller continues.
Bed
bugs don't need food to survive either as a bed bug can go months
without a meal. The hatchlings are minuscule and easily pass through
stitch-holes in mattresses and other tiny openings. They survive in a
wide range of temperatures and ingest up to seven times their body
weight in blood. "Any property owner who suspects he or she has
bed bugs needs to call in a professional exterminator
(http://www.yalepest.com/extermination-services)
right away," Mr. Miller declares.
Bed
bugs don't transmit disease, yet can lead to an allergic reaction.
They take up residence in clean and unclean homes and buildings
although 37 percent do believe they are attracted to those homes and
offices which are dirty. Household income doesn't play a role in
where bed bugs live either.
"Every
home and office is susceptible to bed bugs as they may be picked up
in a wide variety of locations. Bed bugs catch a ride on people and
their belongings, making it possible to pick the bugs up in hotels,
college dorms, public transportation, movie theaters and laundry
facilities. Although infestations are more common in suburban and
urban areas than in rural ones, everyone needs to be aware of bed
bugs and what to look for," Mr. Miller states.
