BED BUGS HAVE MADE A HUGE COME BACK!

The incidence of bed bugs in the United States is increasing dramatically.  Pest control companies have reported 50 times more bed bug calls than usual in the past few years.      These bugs are increasingly showing up in homes, apartments, hotels, dormitories and vehicles throughout the country. They hitch rides in luggage, boxes, shoes, backpacks, purses and other mobile objects. Infestations are not tied to unsanitary living areas. Even world-class hotels have reported bed bug problems. Since bed bugs only come out at night, you may have no idea they are present. Also, some people have no reaction to their bite.

HOW TO IDENTIFY A BED BUG?

Bed bugs are flat, wingless and oval-shaped, but young bed bugs can almost be too small for the naked eye to spot. They are mahogany when unfed but change to rust brown/red when full of blood, have six legs, some short golden body hair and two antennae.
