Bed Bugs – Stop Sleeping with the Enemy
If you are waking up with itchy, red bumps or welts on your body, it’s likely that you have a bed bug infestation. These hardy insects have come back from extinction in the US, likely due to increased international travel and the US ban of the toxic DDT pesticide. Areas like New York City and parts of New Jersey have been particularly hard-hit. The bed bugs have infiltrated high-end mansions as well as low-income projects.
Bed bugs have quarter-inch-long flat, oval, wingless bodies. They have a reddish-brown color. Their size and shape allows them to hide themselves, making them very difficult to find.
They are attracted to body heat, and generally come out to feed in the early AM hours. They only eat blood and will travel along your body until they find a blood vessel to latch onto. Hence the lovely, red welts.
Of course, you, nor your spouse and children wish to sleep with these nasty little bugs feasting on your hemoglobin.
To end the blood-letting, you might consider contacting the experts who can eliminate bed bugs from your home. As governmental agencies like the EPA debate whether to allow stronger bug-killers, Heritage Pest Control has already developed a safe and highly-effective method for exterminating bed bugs.
