| Bed bugs are a common problem very few people know much about, if
they are even aware the parasites exist. With the recent resurgence of bed
bugs, it is imperative that people understand the effective methods of bed
bug protection to best protect themselves and their families. Though they
are small and often go unseen, the presence of bed bugs and their effects
on sleep, health and hygiene is obvious to those who have them. Early
detection and bed bug protection is the key to eradicating these pests
from your home and life. Bed bugs are small parasites, scientifically known as Cimex lectularis, can often go unseen by the human eye. Normally it takes large infestations of many bed bugs before a person notices there is a problem and can take action for bed bug prevention. Bed bugs are hitchhikers, so they can be transferred from infested areas to non-infested areas rather easily. So even if you don't have an infestation now, acquiring bed bugs is not unlikely. Mattresses, luggage, clothing, back packs, movie theater seats, anywhere humans come in contact with warm, safe, secretive environments that are frequented by humans, are suitable nesting sites for bed bugs.
Bed bugs feed on human blood, when in the adult stage. First injecting an anticoagulant into the host, the insect is then free to draw blood, and the wound is quite obvious, leaving large, round sores. These sores can become inflamed and often infected, which can lead to further medical issues. Early bed bug protection is critical to the prevention and management of these parasites. There are many ways to detect the presence of bed bugs within your home. Many times, the first sign of bed bugs are small bites on the body, which look similar to raised red bumps like those that appear from mosquito bites. There may be many bites in one area, such as in a grouping or in a line. The bites will be itchy and are easily misdiagnosed as mosquito bites, chicken pox or a rash. If you notice bites similar to these, further inspection for bed bugs is needed. Bed bugs are highly resistant to pesticides or any
chemicals found in the U.S., making their elimination difficult. Bed bugs
are also prolific breeders, as females can lay eggs five times a day for
her entire life. Bed bugs can also live up to a year without a meal. With
such an overwhelming resistance to control and removal, it is crucial to
understand how to detect bed bugs and the best forms of bed bug
protection. |
