Tropical Bed Bugs Returning to the United States SAT Press … – Satellite PR News (press release)

Submit the press release

Phoenix, AZ (SBWIRE) 02/24/2017 Bill Trott, from Bills Pest & Termite Control, is warning customers in his service area about tropical bed bugs. These bugs tend to harbor in warm, humid areas. After a 60 year hiatus, there has been a confirmed tropical bed bug sighting in Florida.

Travelers are at an increased risk for spreading these bugs to other parts of the country.

Bill Trott reports, Tropical Bed Bugs were the dominate species in Asia, Africa, and South America while common bed bugs were found throughout the U.S. It takes an experienced bed bug exterminator to detect the subtle differences in these public health menaces.

The last time tropical bed bugs were seen in this country was in the early 1940s. Scientists have discovered what they believe to be the reemergence of the once plaguing pest.

The first case was in a home in Brevard County. The homeowners called the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences to research their findings. While this is only the first sighting, researchers believe this is not an isolated incident.

Many people travel to Florida each year for vacation. Even those from Phoenix make their way to see that famous mouse and the tranquil beaches. However, a vacation this year could leave travelers bringing home more than memories.

The conditions are right in this Southern state to help spread this tropical bed bug. People are traveling and could be moving these bugs from state to state.

The tropical bed bug, like their cousins, feed on human blood. A bite from either species can cause itchy, rash-like reactions along with psychological distress.

State officials in Florida are urging homeowners to report any bed bug sightings that fit the criteria for this tropical bug. They are urging customers to send their bugs to the University of Florida in Gainesville for further identification.

Though these bugs have not been spotted in Arizona, it is just a matter of time before they could arrive.

As a pest control specialist, Mr. Trott wants customers to know that to reduce the risk of an infestation, they should reduce the clutter in their home. If they see any bed bugs at all, they should have them treated and evaluated by an expert.

About Bills Pest Termite Control Bill Trott is the owner of this family owned pest control company. They offer free termite inspections and can help with all pest control needs.

They urge customers to call about bed bug problems. These are not do-it-yourself projects. When dealing with bed bugs, it requires professional intervention.

Bed bugs are a problem in these Florida cities

Posted on February 25, 2017 by pcenet Click Here For Article

Looking to avoid bed bugs? It may be best to stay clear of certain Florida cities.

Orkin released a ranking of the top 50 cities with the biggest bed bug problems, and Tampa (31), Orlando/Daytona Beach/Melbourne (38), and Miami/Fort Lauderdale (43) made the list. This was Orlandos first time back on the list since 2011.

The top five worst offenders were Chicago, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., New York City and Columbus, Ohio.

According to the news release, Orkin compiled the list by ranking the cities by the number of bed bug treatments that the company has serviced throughout 2015, both residential and commercial.

"Bed bugs are the great hitchhiker of the bug world, and they are very difficult to control without professional help," Orkin Entomologist and Technical Services DirectorRon Harrison, Ph.D., said in a release. "Bed bugs can travel in luggage and other personal belongings to enter your home. They don't just hide in beds they can be found in furniture, bed posts, rugs and even electrical outlets."

Orkin advises you to survey your hotel room for signs of infestation, lift and look in hiding spots for bed bugs, elevate luggage on a rack, examine luggage before or after a trip, and place all dryer-safe clothing in a dryer at the hottest temperature advised following a trip to avoid bed bugs.
