Bed bugs were not a problem many years ago when DDT was still in use. Nowadays, since many powerful insecticides have been banned, bed bugs are making a strong come back.
Also, frequent international travel has brought bed bugs into the U.S. from other countries. Hotels across the U.S. no matter whether it is a 1 star or a 5 star hotel, have infestations of bed bugs.
Bed bugs can be hidden just about any place where they cannot be seen. They could hide in the folds of your clothing, under your mattress, in between crevices, and other nooks and crannies.
Bed bugs come out at night and drink your blood. They leave chemicals in the bite wound so that you will not feel pain. Once the bed bug leaves and the chemicals wear off, your skin will feel irritable.
To kill bed bugs and get rid of them once and for all from your home, you have to find each and every last one of them. By leaving just one behind, the bed bugs will repopulate quickly in your residence.
Bed bugs usually hide in the mattress. So in order to kill bed bugs, you can get a plastic mattress cover and encase your entire mattress inside. This keeps the bed bugs from coming out at night. Hence, the bed bugs die of starvation. Be aware that you have to keep the cover on for many months because the bed bugs can go without food for just as long.
After killing the bed bugs on your mattress, look elsewhere around your room. Any place that seems like a good hiding spot you should check it out.
If you do not feel that you are proficient in finding and killing bed bugs, you may need to hire a professional exterminator. Exterminators know exactly where to look to find bed bugs and have power insecticides that can kill them. - 30446
