Watch Bed Bugs Get Stopped in Their Tracks | Deep Look …

At night, these parasites crawl onto your bed, bite you and suck your blood. Then they find a nearby hideout where they leave disgusting telltale signs. But these pests have an Achilles heel that stops them cold.

DEEP LOOK is a ultra-HD (4K) short video series created by KQED San Francisco and presented by PBS Digital Studios. See the unseen at the very edge of our visible world. Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small.

Adult bed bugs are about the size and color of an apple seed. After biting, they hide in a nearby cranny, like the seam of the mattress.

At the University of California, Irvine, biologist and engineer Catherine Loudon is working to create synthetic surfaces that could trap bed bugs. She was inspired by the tiny hooked hairs that grow from the leaves of some varieties of beans, such as kidney and green beans. In nature, these hairs, called trichomes, pierce through the feet of the aphids and leafhoppers that like to feed on the plants.

Researchers have found that these pointy hairs are just as effective against bed bugs, even though the bloodsucking parasites dont feed on leaves. Loudons goal is to mimic a bean leafs mechanism to create an inexpensive, portable bed bug trap.

You could imagine a strip that would act as a barrier that could be placed virtually anywhere: across the portal to a room, behind the headboard, on subway seats, an airplane, Loudon said. They have six legs, so thats six opportunities to get trapped.

--- Where do bed bugs come from? Bed bugs dont fly or jump or come in from the garden. They crawl very quickly and hide in travelers luggage. They also move around on secondhand furniture, or from apartment to apartment.

--- How can I avoid bringing bed bugs home? It would probably be a prudent thing to do a quick bed check if youre sleeping in a strange bed, said Potter. His recommendation goes for hotel rooms, as well as dorms and summer camp bunk beds. He suggests pulling back the sheet at the head of the bed and checking the seams on the top and bottom of the mattress and the box spring.

These are the 25 worst cities in Canada for bed bugs | News

One of Canadaslargest pest control providers has released a new list that no city should be happy to top.

With the announcement that Orkin Canada expects the next 12 months to be a bumper year for bed bugs in Canada, thepest control company has released data to show the 25 most afflicted cities across the country.

For those of you not in the know, bed bugs areparasiticinsectsof thecimicidfamily thatfeed exclusively on blood. In the case of the most common bed bug, the blood they feed on is human blood.

To be clear, Orkin Canadasdata is derivedexclusively from the number of commercial and residential properties that have received bed bug treatment directly from Orkin between July 1, 2016andJune 30, 2017.

Thebed bug registryallows people to search for houses, hotels, and apartments that may or may not have had a reported case of bed bugs. It has information available for most major Canadian cities including Metro Vancouver and Toronto.

According to Orkin, tips for homeowners and vacationers include:

Of Canadas top 25 bed bug cities, a large number are located in Ontario, but it seems no major city across the country is safe from high levels of infestation.

(Pictured, the New Orleans Mosquito, Rodent and Termite Control Board (NOMRTCB) practicing social distancing. From left to right Phil Smith, Timmy Madere and Mark Myers.)

NEW ORLEANS - In his role as a pest control specialist with the New Orleans Mosquito, Rodent and Termite Control Board (NOMRTCB), Timmy Madere often interacts with the citizens of New Orleans.

Hey, the rats were out playing in the streets last night, Madere recalled of a recent comment made to him by a New Orleans citizen. Well, not really, Madere thought to himself, realizing that those rats actually were cannibalizing a Norway rat.

I was surprised at just how quickly cannibalism was happening, Madere said. This was just one week after COVID-19 resulted in the state closing down bars and restaurants, eliminating the main food sources for rodents in the French Quarter.

While this respite of people and food in the French Quarter has been bad news for rats, its actually given NOMRTCB unique opportunities to make a dent in the citys Norway rat population.

For the first three weeks, in the French Quarter and down on the river, we had empty bait stations every day. They were just destroying bait, Madere said. Now, the dropoff has been dramatic. Talking to citizens now, they are just seeing dead ones.

What Madere has noticed is rats migrating to neighborhoods where NOMRTCB doesnt traditionally see them. We started in the problem area, which is the French Quarter, and we are chasing them - its like we are right behind them. Well go into a neighborhood and find new burrows in places where we never would have seen them. Everyone is stuck inside now. All that restaurant garbage is now home garbage. The rodents have figured that out too.

Madere said NOMTCRB has been working alongside pest control companies, including DA Exterminating, Billiot Pest Control, Terminix (New Orleans franchise) and Orkin, to line the citys streets with bait stations.

Chris Caire, vice president of DA Exterminating, concurred that his companys service professionals are spotting rodents in broad daylight and observing burrows in non-traditional areas in the French Quarter, such as restaurant courtyards. His technicians also said rats are more aggressively trying to access these buildings, and that one of his technicians actually used sheet metal as part of his exclusion work. Some of the restaurants we service have not re-opened, but we have reached out to the owners or representatives and thankfully they are letting us in, Caire said.

How might COVID-19 change New Orleans rodent populations in the future? We are worried about roof rat dynamics," Madere said. We know they are getting all the food from [peoples homes] and extra food means extra big litters. We could become a predominantly roof rat city with pockets of Norway rats, Madere said.

Reports of extreme rodent behavior and migrations have come from other parts of the country. PCT caught up with several pest management professionals to get their rodent observations.

NEW YORK. Similar to New Orleans French Quarter, New Yorks lack of restaurant garbage is causing rodents to adapt with cannibalism and migration. As PCT columnist and rodentologist Bobby Corrigan explained to NBC News, rats are mammals just like you and I, and so when youre really, really hungry, youre not going to act the same - youre going to act very bad, usually. So these rats are fighting with one another, now the adults are killing the young in the nest and cannibalizing the pups.

Gil Bloom, president of Standard Pest Management, Astoria, N.Y., said its been difficult for his company to access a lot of the restaurants it services (which are mostly located in now-closed buildings), but he said when his technicians do gain access personnel have mentioned increased rodent activity. One challenge he foresees is that the amount of residential trash has increased, and sanitation schedules are off; when his technicians do gain access to trash rooms, they are overcrowded with trash. Bloom thinks once things return to normal pest management professionals might have good opportunities to knock down rodent populations.

In theory, they will be more receptive to control measures. In the past they might not have sought out that block in the bait box or gone to check out what was in the snap trap. Bloom added that rodent sightings often act as catalysts that gets his companys phones ringing with service requests, so that could be a positive.

PHILADELPHIA. In Philadelphia, Marty Overline, president of Aardvark Pest Management, said rodents are more visible, seeking out food sources because less food is being placed in exterior trash cans and dumpsters. He also thinks rodents might be more attracted to employee work areas (in commercial settings) because hes observed large amounts of food left in employee desks, student rooms, closets, food storage areas, etc.

Overline said that in buildings hes been able to access there is at least one or two essential personnel that will allow entry. This is where knowing your accounts and its key employees is of importance. Our strategy has been to increase rodenticide amounts in our exterior stations because of not knowing what the future brings. We also have installed tremendous amounts of traps inside the buildings that have been known to have rodent issues.

WASHINGTON, D.C. Another traditional hot spot for rodents is Washington, D.C. As reported by NBC News, in the past 30 days, the city has had nearly 500 calls regarding rodents, according to city 311 data.

One concern shared by Brian Schoonmaker, president of Bethesda, Md.-based Capitol Pest, is that rats can carry, transmit, and especially move COVID-19 from one location to another, or one apartment to another.

Despite pest control being classified as an essential service, Schoonmaker said his company, unfortunately, still has a handful of customers who have suspended the service, and others who have modified the service. The population of all pests will explode as a direct result of professional services not happening to prevent pest issues and people staying home. More people are eating at home and creating more trash, he said. This will allow the populations to breed more and the issues will multiply.

Many companies in the pest control industry are using remote rodent monitoring technology, and the COVID-19 pandemic underscores the potential of this technology. As Wayne White, vice president, technical services of Fulton, Md.-based American Pest, noted, Remote rodent monitoring and capture in a world where we dont have the access we used to, might be even more important.

SEATTLE. Seattle gained unwanted national attention because the first reported death in the U.S. from COVID-19 occurred in the Emerald City. Residents are now observing how the citys rodents are becoming more noticeable. In a March 30 article titled "The Rats of Seattle Seem to Be Enjoying Human Social Distancing," that appeared in The Stranger, writer Charles Mudede observed that at around 5 p.m., "The sun was still high in the sky. And these rats, if my eyes did not deceive me, were just having fun and not worrying about the giants whose presence usually puts the fear of God in them. They did not scurry or dart or dash. They instead pranced about the wood chips like students in a high school musical."

Ron Wikstrom, director of operations, United Pest Solutions, Kenmore, Wash., said hes observed that the number of outdoor sightings has definitely increased even some of our more rural outlying areas that traditionally have far less pressure are now having increased pressure.

Although he didnt have any hard data, Wikstrom said that based on phone calls and observations be believes rodent pressure is higher than normal. The lead count has not necessarily increased because the COVID-19 statewide lockdown did not go into place until May 4th and many folks are only calling in when the situation becomes so desperate they cant wait.

11 Best Essential Oils for Bed Bugs: to Repel, Kill, and Prevent

Bed bugs can live anywhere in a house. They live in furniture, and the most common furniture is a bed. Their main diet consists of human and animal blood. [1]

Bed bugs do seem like tiny insects, but they are very dangerous.

Bed bugs have a lot of negative impact on human health.

There has been an increase of 81% in the calls to pest control companies since 2000 in USA.

Bed bugs thrive during the night, and they bite exposed areas of the body like face, necks, and hands. Bed bugs bite can cause redness, swelling, itching or bumps on the skin.

Essential oils for bedbugs are great aids when it comes to relieving the itching, pain and swelling.

What are Bed Bugs?

Bedbugs are parasitic insects. The common bedbug feeds on the human blood. There are other species of the bedbugs like bat bugs which are common in Europe, Western and Eastern United States.

The name bed bug comes from their preferred habitat of beds or other sleeping and warm areas. They are prevalent at night but are not nocturnal. They have the unique ability to feed on their hosts without being noticed.

Bedbug bites leave some adverse health effects which include skin rashes, allergies, and even psychological effects.

For thousands of years, bedbugs are here, living as the human parasites. In the early1940s, the developed world managed to eradicate it, but their numbers have increased since 1995 due to pesticide resistance.

As the human population kept in increasing, bed bug bites and related conditions have also improved. [2]

Bedbugs are fast, difficult to catch or see and most of the chemicals or pest control sprays dont work on them.

Another crazy fact, bedbugs can live without food for over a year!

How Do Bed Bugs Get Inside Your House or Mattress?

Bedbugs enter your house through luggage, clothing, travel bags, or anything new which is added to your house. Once inside your house, they can multiply at a fast rate and soon very dark and warm nook and cranny of your home is filled with them.

They dont have nests, but they do stay in groups and someplace where they can easily attack their prey and can quickly hide if needed.

Mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and headboards are places where they have easy access to people.

Bedbugs feed on blood. So having them in your house does not necessarily mean that your home is dirty. They can be found in clean places, like hotels, as well.

Once they have spread cleaning can be difficult, and in those times only pest control can help. [3]

Signs and Symptoms of Bed Bugs Manifestation

Identifying the bed bugs bites is vital.

Some signs of bed bugs include:

Lavender oil has healing and soothing properties.

It has a wonderful smell, and in Southern France, lavender oil has been used to keep insects like scorpions away.

The floral scent which attracts humans repels bed bugs. It is suitable for killing the bug eggs away as well.

The oil is very efficient in healing itchiness, swelling and all kinds of bug bites. Its antibacterial properties prevent infections. For itching areas, a single drop of lavender oil is very relieving.

Sprinkling a few drops of oil around your bed will also keep the bugs away. Using the lavender oil after the elimination will also keep away further infestation.

One of the most potent antioxidants is thyme oil.

Thyme oil should be treated with care. Thyme oil is not safe for pregnant ladies and young children. It also protects the body from cuts and scars; and rashes.

To prevent pests like mosquitoes, fleas, lice and bed bugs creating havoc on your body, add a few drops of thyme oil in your closet, kitchen, and bed. [5]

According to some traditional stories, the three wise men (Magi) gave the infant King of Israel gifts of gold to honor his royalty, frankincense as a perfume and myrrh for anointing oil. Frankincense was a precious gift which has potential medical remedies.

Frankincense oil has many beneficial uses. It supports the immune system, fight infection and cure disease; heals skin and reduces scarring. It has a lovely aroma which will lift your mood, clear your mind and also protect from the horrible bug bites.

A single drop of Frankincense essential oil is enough to calm the itch by bed bugs. Apply the oil to the inflamed area, and it will soothe the bite. [6]

Lemon essential oil has a rejuvenating smell. It has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties which makes it another great essential oil for bed bugs. Lemon essential oil kills bed bugs and also gives your home an invigorating fragrance.

Spray lemon oil, mixed with water, all around your bed, your laundry or anywhere in your house. And wait for the oil will to work like magic!

Another essential oil for bed bugs, which is rich in properties and compounds is lemongrass oil. Lemongrass oil can kill insects and also prevent their eggs from hatching. Its very strong aroma will soothe your senses.

Since it is highly acidic, do not apply directly to the skin and be careful while using when children are around.

Eucalyptus is a favorite essential oil because of its healing properties and energizing scent. It also has antiseptic properties which are very useful in killing the bugs and their eggs.

Spray a few drops of eucalyptus oil all over your mattress, in the surrounding areas, and bedroom to keep a bug free environment.

Remember not to use eucalyptus oil on the skin for bed bug bites. It may have harsh effects on sensitive skin. [7]

Neem oil is prevalent in India, and for thousands of years, people have used it as a natural pesticide. The tree alone discourages the growth of mosquitoes and flies.

It indeed doesnt have a pleasant aroma, but it is undoubtedly the most effective essential oil for bed bugs.

Neem oil can be extracted naturally by pressing the leaves. But it should not be used on the skin directly. A carrier oil or water must be used to dilute it before using on skin.

Citronella Oil is a wonderful essential oil for bed bugs. Bugs dislike Citronella oil, and many commercial bug repellents use this oil. Citronella has a lovely and fresh smell, but insects, mosquitoes, and flies cannot stand it.

Spray citronella oil all around your bed and mattress to keep bed bugs away.

Citronella oil it is only for repelling bugs; do not use it on the skin for soothing bed bug bites. [8]

Clove Oil has an overpowering pungent smell, and it helps a lot in overpowering pests. It is also acidic and contains a compound called eugenol, which is toxic for bed bugs.

Spray all the dark corners where bed bugs could be breeding and multiplying, and the clove oil will kill them. It has a potent smell so tolerating the scent could be difficult if too much of it is sprayed. So be careful while spraying it.

Peppermint oil is famous is for its antimicrobial and insect-repelling properties.

Its fresh aroma is irritating to all types of organisms like spiders, rats, roaches, ants and bed bugs.

This oil can keep all other insects away from your home.

Peppermint oil can be used with other essential oils to keep bed bugs away.

Keeping cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil or spraying it all around the kitchen and other rooms keeps the rooms bug free.

However, it is a potent oil and should not be used on directly. Mixing peppermint oil with other essential oils like almond can help prevent mosquito and bed bug bites.

Be cautious while using peppermint oil in childrens bedroom.
