Signs of Bed Bugs: How to Detect Bed Bugs – orkincanada.ca

Bed bugs are a common but serious issue for homeowners. These small, brown insects cannot jump or fly. Knowing the signs of bed bugs is the first step in finding and removing these pests.

Bed bugs usually stay close to the feeding areas so look for bed bugs in the areas where they congregate including along mattress seams, in the frames of beds or the headboards, behind baseboards and under carpet edges. Bed bugs can also hide behind pictures, door and window casings, loose wallpaper and any cracks.

Infestations tend to happen quickly and with little warning, so early signs of bed bugs often point to future problems. The insects stay hidden during the day and come out to feed at night. As a result, residents may miss early bed bug problems until pest populations are already hard to manage.

Bed bugs can hide just about anywhere; this is what can makedetecting bed bugs can be so difficult. Typical hiding places are mattress seams, behind pictures, box springs, in curtains, behind headboards, in sofas, behind baseboards, bed frames, along carpet edges and night stands.

Bed bugs are not just in beds although they usually hide within 3 to 6 feet of their feeding area.

You should regularly inspect all sheets and pillowcases for small brown blood stains (fecal spots) and inspect the seams and folds of mattresses for live insects and bloodstains.

Bed Bugs in New Jersey: Info on NJ Bed Bug Infestations

Does New Jersey Have Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are so common in New Jersey that they once infested three government buildings in the state capital, including the health department. This reinforces the truth that, no matter how clean or well-maintained, any building is vulnerable to a bed bug infestation. Likewise, it underscores the need for homeowners to stay vigilant against these unpleasant pests.

Attracted by carbon dioxide and body heat, bed bugs feed solely on the blood of sleeping people. Immediately after feeding, the pests hide in mattresses, bedding, and carpet, making them extremely hard to find. People who experience bed bug bites develop red rashes or welts that are irritating and itchy. Other signs of bed bugs include rust-colored blood stains on bed linens, as well as dark smudges created by their feces.

The presence of bed bugs has been on the rise in the U.S. since the late 1990s, with a steady increase in infestations across North America. The pests can now be found in hotels and motels, school dorms, and the homes of friends and relatives. Visiting an infested location can result in adult and baby bed bugs hitchhiking into homes on luggage and clothing. Once inside, they spread easily and are good at hiding. The licensed professionals at Western Pest Services should be homeowners first call to control the problem before removal becomes costly and involved.

Bed bugs in Lincoln, Nebraska – Bedbugger.com

KETV.com in Omaha reports on Angie Rempe, whos been living with bed bugs for eight months.

By the time we found out what they were, they had totally coated the seams of the mattresses, said Rempe.

She now finds bed bugs in the baseboards, closets and in cracks in the ceiling of her apartment.

The article mentions the fact that the landlord and tenant are at odds as to who is responsible for paying to get rid of the bed bugs.

Although the landlord and tenant in this case are working together, its a reminder that we need clearer laws in many places. Landlords may not want to foot the cost of bed bug treatment, but leaving it up to tenants (as is the case some places) means the problem may spread to others, and surely bring the propertys value down while it persists.

Rempe and her exterminator got advice from Barb Ogg of the University of Nebraska Lincoln Extension Office:

Ogg said licensed exterminators must use insecticide every few weeks until inspections no longer reveal evidence of living bugs.

Tiny brown spots in patches on the wall indicate bed bug droppings, a tell-tale sign of a possible infestation.You cant just come in and spray the baseboards and leave, Ogg said.Ogg instructed property managers of Rempes apartment to have exterminators drill holes in the ceiling to insert the pesticide, and then caulk the holes and plug up any cracks and crevices where the bugs might live.Rempe said exterminators have completed two treatments in recent weeks and she isnt seeing as much bug activity as she had in the past. She said exterminators also treated the vacant apartments that share walls with her unit.

One lesson here is that if you live somewhere where bed bugs are less common at this time, contacting local authorities (like health or housing inspectors) and university experts (accessible via extension offices at universities) can help. Even if they have not seen bed bugs before, they should be able to network with colleagues elsewhere who have.

Were expecting video on this story, but its not up as of yet.

The video is here. Search for bed bugs and choose the video from 1-28. (I am on Firefox and using a Mac, and I do have both Flip4Mac and Windows Media Player but sadly, this is not working for me, but hopefully others will have more luck.) Let me know if someone rips it to YouTube!

Theyve arrived home from a vacation or business trip. Bed bugs are notorious for being found in beds and may hitch a ride on your suitcase from the airport or train station. They can also be found on planes, trains, taxis, and other public transportation. In fact, entomologists speculate that the rising cases of bed bug infestations may be due, in part, to increased international travel.

Bringing home used furniture, mattresses or other secondhand items. If you see items on the side of the road marked free, keep driving by as it could be infested and discarded by the previous owner. You should also be careful when browsing at moving or garage sales and even at second hand stores. If you decide that the item is a must have, inspect very carefully (paying special attention to seams) for live bed bugs or signs of them.

Having houseguests in residence. Welcoming out of town family and friends for the holidays or just because is exciting. It can also lead to bed bug infestations.
