BUG OF THE MONTH
Bed Bugs
What are bed bugs? Where do I find them? And how do I get rid of them?
Bed Bugs are small flat insects that feed on animals and human blood. They have been around for centuries but are making a comeback due to the fact that many strong pesticides have been banned for use. Bed bugs like the dark, they feed at night, they crawl, not fly. And, they don’t just like beds; they will live in any dark area that is near their food sou
rce. That includes furniture, tears in wallpaper, closets, baseboards, tufts and seams of mattresses – they can be anywhere! The bugs themselves are difficult to spot but look for signs including brown specs - this is dried blood or fecal matter. Also check for dried bug shells – this is from the molting process (the shedding and replacing the exoskeleton stage).
Bed bugs favor feeding on sleeping pets as well as people and they are generally active during the midnight hours. Normally, their bites are painless and go mostly unnoticed by the victim. A typical bite red lump resembles a mosquito bite is seen on the skin, and if the bite area has an itchy feeling. Bed bugs insert their saliva into the skin while feeding. If these bites continue, it can result in allergic responses in some people. As previously mentioned the abrasion on the skin is identical to mosquito or flea bites. The bug infected person should not scratch the bite area as this will aggravate the itching and result in secondary infection. Consulting physicians is essential to lessen the allergic reactions.
