A Guide To Recognizing Bedbugs
Bedbugs are a domestic pest that have long irritated the general population.
Even if you never directly affected by bedbugs, almost everyone knows of and is conscious of them.
They feed off of human blood, and live in areas where the human body rests, such as beds and chairs.
Common places to look out for these insects are your bed, on public transportation, the theater, airports, and restaurants.
The number of bedbugs has drastically increased since 1995, presumably due to the increased interest and partaking in international travel.
Another cause of the rising number of bedbugs is immigration.
If exposed, the best way to rid of bedbugs is by fighting them off with extreme heat.
Drying clothes immediately following vacations, using mattress liners, and washing sheets, pillow cases, and comforters regularly are all preventative measures one can take to avoid bedbug infestation.
Unfortunately, extreme cases can only be treated by a trained exterminator.
Avoid taking this route, if possible, because the infected premises will have to be vacated due to the heavy fumigation produced by extermination.
To be mindful of this problem, one should be well versed on what to look out for.
Bedbugs are small, brown insects, full of tiny hairs, and a banded look across their body.
They have long, pointy beaks used to suck human blood.
Keep eyes wide open when inspecting your person and possessions, as these pesky bugs are extremely fast moving, and as tiny as an apple seed.
If the actual bug is not seen, bedbugs can be discovered through the remnants they leave.
Their droppings are either brown or black in color.
Another way to realize the presence of bedbugs is by finding hollow insect cases.
This is a remnant of the skin shedding process that occurs as bedbugs enter adulthood.
One final visible way to notice the existence of bedbugs is by finding red smears of your own blood.
Most humans will be physically affected by bedbug bites.
The skin that was bitten will become red, irritated, and itchy, similar to the effects of a mosquito bite.
Unfortunately, some will grow more ill from the bites, depending on the person and the severity of the attack.
Either way, bedbugs are not something any individual would like to deal with and they can be difficult to get rid of, seeing as they can live up to six months without a feeding.
Be sure to take precaution when in a situation where bedbugs may appear.
