"Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite!"
All little kids have heard this nighttime
reminder. Bed bugs are the most common
of ectoparasites. Before World War II, bed
bugs were commonly found in many
homes. With modern pest control
introduced in the 1940s, this insect started
to fade away. Recently it has reappeared
as a problem in many structures.
Bed bugs feed on your blood while you're
in bed sleeping. It is a painless bite, but
they can feed for an extended amount of
time. A red, itchy bump will appear after
the bite. Thankfully these annoying pests
don't carry disease, but you still don't want
them in your bed.
How do you get bed bugs?
The eggs of a bed bug are deposited in the
bed at the frame, in the mattress seams,
on the baseboard, in trim, or in other
furniture near the bed. These insects can
even live several feet from the bed in walls
or doorframes. Adults and nymphs live
together waiting for night when they can
come out and feed. When the amount of
bed bugs gets too high, or the person
sleeping on the bed leaves, the bugs
relocate. They can also be moved from
place to place inside of furniture.
