Bed Bugs Are Coming – 31 Symptoms To Sound The Alarm
The disrepute of the bed bugs shows that these are just next to the vampires known for their blood sucking acts. Yet many of us do not get the alarm in time. It is quite understandable with the fact that bed bugs along with some pests had been exterminated well with the widespread usage of DDT in the US right after World War I.
Now, owing to the international travel & immigration, the symptoms of bed bugs are again surfacing. Unfortunately people do not come to know that it is the bed bugs crisis until they actually have excessive itching and the oval-shape insect bites. Even these symptoms seem to fade away the chances of being related to the real cause that is the bed bugs as they get mistaken with the mosquito bites and / or the dust mite bites.
When ever a household experiences the bed bugs symptoms, instead of checking their mattresses, couch upholstery, beddings, etc. for the bed bugs, usually, the members of the family spray the other gel-type insect sprays in order to kill the cockroaches and / or mosquitoes. Of course, this does not restraint the bed bugs, and hence, the furniture & upholstery continue to be infested with the bed bugs.
Here are some tips to understand that it is the bed bugs crisis at home:
1. A house heavily infested with the bed bugs would surely have an offensive, musty, sweet scent. Actually this odor is released by the bed bugs' through the scent glands.
2. Watch out for the fecal and / or excrement stains, the shed skins of the bed bug nymphs in the crevices, egg cases, cracks or the holes on or near the bed.
3. The furniture near your bed must also be checked.
4. The bedroom wallpapers, the bed springs & the clothing in the dresser – all these areas must be checked for the reddish brown stains of excrement.
5. The living room couch must be checked for the stains, specially in case you or for that matter any other member of the family gets the bed bugs symptoms like the swollen bites, immediately after sitting on the couch.
6. All places in the house where the person stays for 30 minutes or more must surely be checked for the bed bugs.
The hot shot hiding places for the bed bugs are:
7. Thin cracks and / or seams of your mattresses are quite well suited places to locate bed bugs.
8. Actually the bed bugs always want to live as close as possible to their food source that is the human blood.
9. The cracks near to the bed or that are around your bedroom & living room are the key places where the bed bugs love to hide.
10. The moment you sight the bed bug in any part of the house, it becomes obvious that now they are all around the place.
Here are some tips to locate bed bugs:
11. Inspect the entire house the very moment any off the bed bug symptoms are found true.
12. Make sure to dismantle the whole bed.
13. Check the headboard
14. Inspect all the seams of the mattresses thoroughly.
15. In caser you come across a reddish brown excrement & sheddings of the insect skin, it implies that the house is now infested with the bed bugs.
16. Next essential step would be to tear off the wallpaper.
17. There are chances that bed bugs must have created a big colony under that wallpaper.
18. Leave no wooden furniture with out inspection for bed bugs.
19. There are chances that the furniture would have bed bugs as well as this insect prefers wood or cloth for the apt hiding places as compared to plastic or metal.
20. Check the empty night stands by emptying them and examining inside as well as outside.
21. Next, tip it over on the inspection of the crevices, recesses, cracks, corners, etc. of the wood work underneath.
22. Since the bed bugs love wood, chances are that the bed bugs would hide there inside.
Some interesting facts about bed bugs are as follows:
23. Bed bugs feed on as they pierce the human skin using its 2 elongated beaks.
24. One beak injects saliva containing anesthetic that reduces the pain of the pierced skin along with an anticoagulant that keeps the blood from getting clotted.
25. Another beak is used to suck the blood.
26. Bed bugs are actually nocturnal insects. So naturally they become active in the night, majorly for one hour that is when the dawn breaks.
27. These are oval-shaped flat insects that hide in the extremely thin cracks where it is fairly easy for them to breed.
28. The adult bed bug lives for around 18 months or so with out any feed simply hiding or breeding in their colony. They wait there patiently for the victim.
29. Bed bugs are also known as the hitchhikers owing to their ability of traveling long distances simply by riding on the suitcases, luggage & clothing.
