The explosion of the bed bugs population in NJ, NYC and all over the country has caused insect experts to predict that by next year bed bugs will be the number 1 domestic pest insect in the nation. Bed bugs will surpass cockroaches and termites on the coveted list. If we expand the cockroach population it won’t make the bed bug problem seem less severe. 

Louis Sorkin the renowned entomologist keeps a colony of bed bugs in a jar and lets them feed on his arm through a mesh on top of the container. Yes that sounds odd, but he is willing to make the sacrifice in order to get a better understanding of the critters and thus perhaps help the country come up with a plan to save NJ, NYC, America and the world from the dreaded bed bugs.

When the bed bugs sense his carbon dioxide and body heat they quickly go to the mesh and stick out their stylets and feed on his blood. Perhaps the feeding frenzy would make Sorkin a worldwide celebrity on YouTube. Even though blood mostly consists of water the bed bugs can exist on the blood’s small amount of proteins, sugar and minerals.

If you would rather not feed the critters let a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control professional destroy them.
