Bed Bugs Treatment
The harm of bed bugs
Bed bugs are a major problem for householders. They feed on blood and can cause skin irritation, allergic reactions as well as transmit diseases such as hepatitis B. Bed bug bites do not have to be itchy or red in order to be harmful. Even the smallest of bedbug infestations should warrant great concern because they reproduce so quickly.
Why are bed bugs so hard to treat?
Bedbugs have a natural camouflage that makes them difficult to find. Bed bugs hide in the seams of your mattress, behind baseboards or picture frames and even inside light fixtures. They can also be found living under carpets, on ceilings, electrical outlets and cracks in the walls.
Can I get sick from bed bugs?
Bedbugs can carry diseases and transmit them to humans through their bites; this is a major concern for people with weakened immune systems or who are already infected with certain diseases such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes or any condition that compromises the human immune system.
Why are bed bugs an issue for hotels, visitors, and homeowners?
Bed Bugs are pests that can infest any home or hotel room. They feed on human blood and have been known to travel from one location to another through clothes, furniture, bedding and luggage. Bed bugs pose a public health concern because they spread disease; cause skin rashes; produce allergic reactions in some people; affect mental well-being; and may cause anxiety.
What are the steps to treat bed bugs?
Bed bug infestations should be handled carefully because of health concerns. The first step is identifying an infestation, which can be difficult without the correct training and equipment. Inspect hotel rooms or apartments for tell-tale signs like blood spots on sheets, mattress seams, or behind headboards. Bed bugs are most active at night and may be found in cracks of couches or other furniture as well.
TREATMENT FOR BED BUGS

Bed bugs can be found in homes, hotels, or even hospitals and any environment that allows for the transportation of people from one location to another.Weekly inspections of hotel rooms is recommended by many experts when traveling or if a person has an infestation at home as it is easier to detect them before they reproduce than after. Inspecting for bed bugs should entail looking in all of the nooks and crannies, including headboards, mattresses, dressers, couches and carpets.When traveling, always carry your luggage with you to avoid left-behind items which may become infested. Bed bugs also cannot fly or jump so they can’t go from person to person.It may seem like bed bugs are everywhere, but they do not transmit disease and cannot harm humans unless provoked with an allergic reaction to the saliva of their bites which is rare.
