Holiday Travel Season is also Wonderful for Bed Bugs

The holiday traveling season can be filled with happiness. However holiday travel can also be filled with bed bugs particularly with people going to large cities such as NYC. For those staying in NYC hotels the first thing they should do is investigate the bed. Travelers should take the sheets off the bed sheets and look for rust stain or black looking marks. These stains are typically blood and fecal matter left by the rude NYC bed bugs. They should also look at the tuft of seam that is located on the edges of mattresses. Unfortunately NYC bed bugs also hide in curtains, in cracks of walls and wall paper, inside dressers and furniture and other places.

Travelers might want to purchase the portable Packtite. It’s an effective device for destroying unwanted bed bugs. Travelers typically don’t want bed bugs going home with them and creating a bed bugs infestation.

If you have NJ, NYC, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx or Brooklyn bed bugs, ask a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control company to destroy the odious insects.

Bed Bugs Laugh at Bug Sprays

Bed bug articles keep popping up on the web which mention people living in apartments are attacking bed bug infestations with bug sprays. Well, bug sprays and bug bombs don’t work on the odious bed bugs. Bug sprays bought at stores simply scare the bed bugs which causes them to relocate to other places in the apartment. Now the bed bug infestation is more difficult to eradicate and cost more money when the professional pest control expert is asked to get rid of the horrible insects. Also, sometimes bug sprays explode due to a flame and can cause a fire.

People have been tossing out their beds, sofas, clothes and chairs due to NJ, NYC bed bug infestations. It’s best to call a NJ, NYC bed bug professional and allow him to make recommendations on tossing out items.

If you think you might have a NJ, NYC, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx or a Brooklyn bed bugs infestation let a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control expert destroy the insects for you.

Bed Bug Bites – The Itch That Keeps On Itching

2 Comments

bed bug bitesMost experts agree that bed bugs bites are not dangerous to humans.  There are however many scientists around the country who are investigating bed bugs to make sure that they are not transmitting dangerous pathogens onto humans. Anyone who has ever had the misfortune of having bed bug bites will tell you that they are annoying and very uncomfortable to deal with.

Because the itching associated with bed bug bites are allergic reactions, the subsequent welts and burning left behind can vary just as much as people do.  Some people can be bitten by bed bugs and never know it and never suffer any reaction from the bites.  Some people can be bitten by bed bugs and suffer terribly with horrible itching that could drive you nearly insane.

Bed bug bites can look like dark red spots, pink spots, or even white colored spots that look like blisters.  They can be in clusters, in singles, or lines up and down your body.  Bed bugs are indiscriminate feeders so any area of exposed skin is a good feeding spot for them.  The girl in the photo received these bed bug bites on her back after sleeping in an apartment only one night!

If bed bugs have come to dinner at your NYC or New Jersey home, call a pest control specialist who knows how to get rid of bed bugs before they start raising a huge family in your nice home.

Male Bed Bugs: Thank You Alarm Pheromones

Is it common knowledge in NJ, NYC and throughout the world that alarm pheromones are used for sexual recognition among the bed bug population? Perhaps not. This is important to NYC male bed bugs since they grab and try to mate with any NYC bed bug that recently had a blood meal. However, it’s unclear if bed bugs begin or end the mating dance with tickles and pinches.

The males get confused and are not sure which bed bugs are male and which are female. Male bed bugs release the alarm pheromone when they are grabbed by an amorous male bed bug. That signals the male bed bug to let go and grab another partner.

Some people claim the pheromone smells like an almond but in an unpleasant way. Entomologist Joshua Benoit of Ohio State University claims all of this information is important due to the comeback of the bed bugs.

If you think you might have NJ, NYC, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx or Brooklyn bed bugs let a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control professional destroy the odious insects for you.
