Bed Bugs:
Bed Bugs are fairly cosmopolitan and are enjoying are resurgence in popularity while people are freaking out at their presence. Bed bugs strictly feed on blood preferably human. They can crawl for distances and hide in cracks. In human dwellings, initial bed bug infestations are typically found in the tufts, seams and folds of mattresses, box springs, and day bed covers. If allowed to multiply, the bed bugs spread to cracks and crevices in wooden bed stands or interiors of metal or brass bed stands. They also establish themselves behind baseboards, window and door casings, pictures and picture molding, in other pieces of furniture, cracks in plaster and behind loose wallpaper. Bed bugs are usually spread from one place to another by eggs attached to (or by the bugs themselves)clothing or luggage of travelers and visitors, second-hand beds or parts thereof, used furniture or other items brought in where bed bugs hide. Bed bugs are small, wingless, brownish-red, flat, tick-like insects visible to the naked eye. |
