There's a saying…don't let the bed bugs bite you. What are bed bugs? Bed bugs are increasingly growing and becoming a problem within houses of all types such as shelters, dormitories, cruise ships, apartments and homes. Bed bugs are tiny wingless insects that suck solely warm-blooded animals and actually including humans. These are nest parasites. There are types that live in the bird's nests and bat branches. They will wait for the birds and bats to return to their nests until they can suck their blood.
One evening, I am about to have my good night sleep. My back and the cheeks of my buttocks became itchy. I just stepped out of shower, “what is happening?” Finally, I opened the light and I asked my mother to check on my back and buttocks. She saw little pink rashes. We immediately applied anti-itch lotion. My mother checked on my bed. She saw these little insects. Oh! I got bed bugs! How will I solve this problem?
I have to know how we got these bed bugs at home. Bed bugs hide inside small cracks; they may be in your furniture, luggage, pillows, boxes, clothing and other objects. At the same time, the used bed frames, furniture and beds are at great risk of having bed bugs and their eggs. I bought my bed from a furniture store along the highway. It is cheaper than buying bed from the mall. Therefore, one should carefully examine the background of any furniture that will be purchased.
The favourite types of houses of bed bugs are hotels, condominiums and apartments. These types of houses are adjoining and bed bugs are having fun wandering in walls and holes. That is pest controls should also put in mind that they should also focus n the walls and pipes of the houses that they are treating.
My condominium is very neat, how come my bed is infested by bed bugs? Bed bugs plague only a tiny portion of houses, but they must be suspected if the people living there complain of insect bites while sleeping. The sleeping areas especially the bedroom should be carefully inspected for bed bugs and sign of bed bug activities. They usually hide in the creases and folds of the bed linens, tufts and seams of bed mattresses and bed springs.
Bed bugs can also hide in the folds of curtains, wallpapers, corners of dressers and desks. The reddish fecal smudge of the bed bugs can be easily seen on the bed sheets, bed mattresses or even on the walls of the bed. An odor can be easily smelled in some greatly infested houses. These bugs are cannot be trapped by the adhesive-based traps for sampling insects and rats.
So, what shall I do with the bed bugs inside my bed room? There are different kinds of bed bugs that should be eliminated in houses. According to pest controls, I should carefully identify first the identity of the bed bugs in my house. I should get a sample in order to submit it to a competent entomologist who could help the pest control people to eliminate the bed bugs in my condominium unit.
