Infestation of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are the most persistent of parasites that have ever graced this planet. As they are very tiny, they creep into the smallest of crevices and cracks. It is useless to scrub surfaces or apply pesticides and try getting rid of them
Hence, you must not take any risks while treating bugs. Professionals, who actually know what they are into must be sought for, while treating or controlling infestations of bed bugs.
Bites of Bed bugs and diseases
Health organizations across the globe confirm that there are no diseases that are caused or spread by bed bugs. However, a little bit of the saliva of bed bugs are left under host’s skin, but they don’t cause or transfer diseases.
This is the difference between bed bugs and other insects like mosquitoes that suck blood and also transfer dengue, malaria and other diseases.
But, the bites of bed bugs because irritation in the skin and leaves itchy marks that are uncomfortable. The bites of bed bugs, most often, look like that of any other insect.
Though bed bugs don’t cause health hazards, the irritation and itchiness caused by the bed bugs on your skin will make you seek a treatment for the bed bugs that have infested your house.
It may cause blemishes or itching wounds in the skin if the bugs keep biting continuously. Other people may develop allergies which can cause serious skin problems at a later date.
Planning an attack
If the bed bugs are to be removed from your home, you must plan it thoroughly. A strategy that is well thought upon must be formed.
Before pest control operators in your area are called for, you ought to be ready to throw or discard many things in your house, which may pose as a possible habitat for the bed bugs inside your house.
Mostly, bedbugs that infest beds cannot be treated as they are so very tiny that they creep into the beds through the tiniest of holes in the bed. Even pesticides are not completely effective when it is a bed bug infestation that is to be treated.
Still, things that are infested by bed bugs cannot be discarded easily too. Just because you wish to rid your house off those parasites does not meant that you need not consider the welfare of those around you that is your neighbors.
Hence, things infested by bed bugs must be disposed with utmost care. Mostly, the things are burned or even isolated from other things by enclosing in an air tight bag so that the bugs do not get transferred onto another thing or area that can play host for them.
As adult bugs can live without food for a year, the infested thing must be burned, or else they must be isolated from everything and mostly from other things that can be a host like the bodies of human beings or animals.
Also, the room that was once infested ought to be cleaned thoroughly so that the eggs that could have been laid by the adult bugs that were exterminated are removed.
Better be safe than sorry:
It is said that it is better to be safe than sorry. The best way to prevent accumulation of bed bugs is maintenance of hygiene and cleanliness.
If you travel a lot, make sure that there are no bed bugs in the hotel rooms you stay in. Else, they will stick to your bags and baggage and return with you to your house, which will not be a pleasant experience.
Regular check ups of rooms and visits from professionals is advisable as they know more about infestation of pests than you can possibly know, ever. Their help and advice must be sought if you wish to determine if bed bugs have infested your house or if you wish to get rid and banish them from your house.
If bed bugs have infested your room, transferring the infestation is not the proper solution, because the chances that the bed bugs go along with your furniture to your new house are very large.

Infestation of Bed Bugs
I’m not sure, but I believe I am in the beginning of a bed bug infestation.. I never go to hotels/motels. Have had my bed for 3 yrs?
Lots of people who find that they have bedbugs wonder where the heck they got them from. There are a couple of common ways you can get an infestation.
Ways to Get Rid of Bed Bugs
1) Living in an apartment. Bed bugs often live or crawl in the spaces in between walls as well, and if your neighbors have them, you could as well. That also can make it harder for you to permanently get rid of them, since you’ve got a potential source until your neighbors take care of their own infestation.
2) Travel. Many hotels have infestations. With international travel, this is even more likely. Bed bugs will often crawl into your luggage and get carried back into your home, and all it takes is one to get an infestation started there, too.
3) Clothing. Sometimes they could get into your house by crawling onto your clothes randomly – but this is actually pretty rare.
4) Used furniture or clothing. This is more common – if you buy used clothes or used furniture, sometimes there can be bed bugs in them (they don’t just live in beds, but anywhere near where people sleep). If you bought something used and bring it into your house, that could be where you picked up your own set of bugs.
5) Your occupation. If you regularly go into other people’s houses for some reason, you could easily bring bed bugs back with you that way. If you’re the cable guy, a plumber, or anybody who goes into other people’s houses, you’re at risk.
6) Guests. If someone stays at your house, they could bring them over with them. One big source of this is students coming home for the holidays – the dorm rooms could easily pick up an infestation given how many people are coming in and out all the time from all over.
7) Wild animals. This is a kind of rare way people have gotten them, but sometimes people have had animals get into their house for a short period and bring them in with them. Birds and bats are the most common offenders.

Getting Rod of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are making a comeback, and bed bugs treatment and removal is starting to be a necessary evil in this century – no matter where you live or how clean you are.
Bed Bugs Treatment Starts With Prevention
The best way to prevent a bed bug infestation is to keep them from getting into your home.
Unfortunately, bed bugs are becoming a global problem, and since these little bugs are fast and invasive, it can be tough to keep them out.
When you travel, bring a flashlight. Check the mattress where you’re staying for any small dark stains. Look in the crevices of the mattress, and the seams. Check carefully. It is unlikely that you’ll see a bug, but you may see evidence of them. They will leave dark (blood) stains when they get crushed as the previous person rolled over, or they may simply leave excrement.
Either way, they’re gross.
If you see evidence of bed bugs, leave the room immediately. If you can’t leave, then make sure that your luggage is placed in the bathtub or elevated off the floor. This way the insects can’t climb into your suitcase and hitch a ride to your home.
Don’t leave any clothing or other items on the floor where bed bugs can hitch an easy ride to your house.
Bed Bugs Habits and Bite Evidence
I have a friend who is an exterminator. In talking with him the other day, he said that he had recently attended a bed bugs symposium for exterminators. He told me, “Bed bugs are bad news. I’d take cockroaches any day over a bed bugs infestation.”
This is because effective bed bugs treatment is not just a simple application of chemical. This is going to take some careful effort on your part to eradicate them.
Bed bugs sleep during the day and come out at night to feed on blood. Humans are a favorite target, although they will also feed on dogs and cats. They are fast little creatures who can hide in a space as small as the thickness of a credit card. These insects at maturity measure about ? inch long.
Picture a bug about the length of a single grain of rice.
Evidence of bed bugs can include bites on your person. They will typically feed in a small area, injecting an anti-coagulant substance under the skin to allow your blood to flow easily. You will generally see a small localized area of several bites on your skin to indicate the presence of bed bugs. (Check out the photo.)
Bed Bugs Treatment Step #1
First, remove any clutter. You’ll want easy access to anyplace that bed bugs can hide.
Bed bugs treatment starts with a vacuum cleaner with a disposable bag. You’re going to vacuum everything! You need a vacuum that has a long hose and a crevice attachment.
Start by vacuuming where you’ve seen evidence of bed bugs, like the mattress seams and cracks. Pull the mattress off the box springs and vacuum them carefully as well as underneath the bed. Take apart the bed frame to remove any bed bugs hiding places.
Vacuum the cracks where the carpet meets the wall, and anywhere you can see evidence of bugs. Bed bugs have been found to hide behind loose wallpaper, switchplate covers, and even behind baseboard, so you may want to remove these to vacuum behind them.
Check out furniture too, because these insects can live in sofas and chairs as easily as they can live in mattresses. You won’t see many bugs, but your vacuum cleaner “offense” will suck up any eggs that may be waiting to hatch.
Once you’ve vacuumed every possible hiding place, take the vacuum outside and remove the bag. If you can incinerate the bag, do so. If not, place the bag inside a plastic garbage bag, tie it securely and dispose of immediately.
Bed Bugs Treatment Step #2
Rent or buy a steam cleaning machine.
The steam must get very hot, because bed bugs can withstand temperatures of up to 113 degrees. Try to get the steam at least 120 degrees.
Steam clean everything that you’ve just vacuumed in the previous step. Clean mattresses, box springs, sofa, chairs, furniture, carpet and baseboards. Don’t miss anything!
If even one female (egg-laying) bed bug is missed, you could find yourself dealing with a whole new bed bug infestation.
Wash all clothing and bedding in HOT water. Warm or cool water is not enough to kill these insects. Wash coats and purses, anything that could even remotely harbor a bug. Wash rugs and blankets. Steam clean your carpet.
Bed Bugs Treatment Step #3
This is the chemical and/or pesticide step.
Chemicals can be caustic and cause health problems, so you’ll want to check with your local exterminator to see what he or she would recommend.
If you have items that cannot be washed, say a computer, cell phone or other appliance, there’s a product called “Nuvan Strips” that can be placed inside a plastic bag along with your item. The bag is sealed and the Nuvan Strips will fumigate the inside of the bag, killing any bed bugs that are hiding inside the computer.
The bag and strips are typically take about 3 days to do their job.
One more natural alternative to chemicals is diatomaceous earth, or DE.
Diatomaceous earth is basically the ground-up shells of tiny prehistoric creatures. These shells are very sharp to insects. When a bug walks through DE, the sharp edges will cut them, causing them to bleed to death.
DE can also be used in your garden to combat other garden bugs. DE is harmless to humans.
If you choose to use DE, sprinkle it liberally around the room you’ve been cleaning, once the mattress and other items are dry. Make sure to get it into the crevices and cracks of your mattress and other places where you’ve noticed the blood/fecal matter stains.

Bed Bugs Treatment Does Not Mean You’re a Poor Housekeeper
Someone with a cockroach infestation can sometimes be stigmatized as “dirty,” or a bad housekeeper.
Bed bugs, though, are not discriminating. They will attack the home of someone who is a fanatical housekeeper as quickly as they will someone who tends to be more cluttered or casual about cleaning.
If you’ve been the victim of a bed bugs infestation, take heart. This doesn’t mean that you aren’t a clean person. It does mean that you were in the wrong place at the wrong time, since bed bugs will hitch a ride anywhere looking for a fresh meal.
If you still haven’t been able to eradicate your bug infestation even after this bed bugs treatment, then please check with your local exterminator.
