Long considered eradicated in most metropolitan areas, bed bugs are making a comeback. They are being found in cities across the country, everywhere from homeless shelters to five-star hotels. Contrary to popular belief, the presence of bed bugs does not indicate a lack of cleanliness.

Why Have Bed Bugs Returned?

In the past, insecticides such as DDT helped to keep the bed bug population at bay with residues that continued working after the product was sprayed. Now, with the increase in use of bait traps instead of broad spectrum sprays, specific pests such as ants and cockroaches are being targeted, and bed bugs are no longer being eliminated.

In addition, people now travel more than ever before. Places that see a great deal of turnover such as hotels give bed bugs the opportunity to travel to new locations on luggage or clothing.

Why Are Bed Bugs a Problem?

Bed bugs are nuisances and are generally off-putting to people, but they do not pose any major health risks. As with mosquitoes, people can be allergic to their bites, which can cause swelling, itchy welts and in some cases infections. However, they are not known to carry any blood-borne diseases. Bed bugs are mainly active at night. As they typically feed when people are sound asleep, their bites may not be detected immediately. One species of bed bug feeds primarily on humans, but there are other species that feed on other mammals and on birds. Bed bugs are moved into and around a dwelling through infested furniture and bedding. They can also enter a home or hotel by being carried in on clothing or luggage.

I receive a large number of requests from producers looking to do a Bed Bug TV show or segment requesting that I forward their request to my visitors.

What they are looking for are stories about bed bugs and nightmare infestations. So Ive decided to create a page dedicated to such requests and will post these requests below as they come in.

All comments are moderated (must be approved before going live) to prevent spam. If you are a producer looking for stories from my visitors, and want your request to go live, please leave a detailed explanation of what youre looking for, when and where it will be aired, deadlines and contact information.

To start it off, here is Chriss bed bug story Thanks for sharing Chris!

We had bed bugs, but we took matters into our own hands. Our first experience with them was when my husband all of a sudden had this line of bites on his shoulder and down the underside of his arm. Also, he was bitten under his arm pit in a line going towards his back. We had no idea what it was or where he couldve gotten bit. It was at the end of January and very cold. After that, I noticed bites by my ankles above our sock line a few days later, as well as my sons ankles. We were also getting bit around our the back of our waist where our shirt moves away from our pants.

My husband went to the doctor he was no help. They had no idea what it was, and just shrugged it off and said, Youre fine.. the bites will go away. I did some googling, and started thinking it was all different kind of things.. until I saw bed bugs. The bites seemed to be the same, but we never saw any bed bugs before and we werent traveling around then or long before then either.

The first time I noticed a bed bug, I didnt know what it was. I was changing our sons crib sheets, and I lifted the crib mattress to tuck the sheets around the corners. We had a dust ruffle on the bottom part of the crib, and on the white part of the dust ruffle that actually lies under the mattress, I saw something move. It was very small, and clear. I got tweezers and picked it up to put it in a ziplock bag. I looked at it closely it was a baby bed bug.

As I did more and more research, I changed some things about our lifestyle in the cleaning aspect of things

-We vacuumed every day. EVERYWHERE! We even vacuumed the couch inside out.. EVERYDAY.

-Didnt matter what we were washing, we used hot water. EVERYTHING was washed in hot water!
