Weapons in the War Against Bedbugs

Feb-14-2010 By admin

If there is something lurking near your bed waiting to attack you in your sleep, it’s probably bed bugs. There are several ways to get rid of bed bugs, but one new way to get rid of bedbugs, and it is not what may first come to mind. Incredibly, bedbug infestations are increasing and are now up more than 70 percent in the last 10 years. These creepy pests do not just hide in beds. You can also find them in chairs and even wall sockets. They like to retreat to safe area during the day.

However, you can keep them from biting by calling on the dogs. With these dogs, the nose knows where the bedbugs are hiding. The dogs will search an entire hotel room in one-to-two minutes. They can detect as few as one egg or one bedbug.The dog is just one weapon in the fight against this growing bed bug problem. Infestations are on the rise in homes, hotels, nursing homes and other buildings too.

One entomologist and his team developed a pesticide-free system to kill bedbug infestations. It works like a bedbug oven. It only takes about 113 degrees Fahrenheit to kill bedbugs. They build a foam box around the infested furniture, then heat the enclosed area to about 140 degrees with a space heater and waits. The entire process takes two-to-five hours with no damage to furniture. In nine of 11 tests, the system killed 100 percent of the bedbugs. The cost of this system is about $300. Commercial treatment for a typical room costs $300-$800 and takes about 12 hours. Using oil-based space heaters eliminates the risk of fire.

Bedbug Detection Dogs

Nov-4-2009 By admin

There is now a new weapon in the fight against bedbugs. Dogs. Bedbugs have really invaded the United States especially in the last four years. Looking for better ways to detect these bloodsucking parasites, many pest control companies are using bedbug detection dogs and business is booming. Bedbugs hide during the day behind light switches and in wall cracks and other dark places. The detection dogs will sniff along the baseboards and in any other potential hiding places. The dogs are trained to detect the chemical odor that the bedbugs emit to each other, and will alert the handler of the bedbugs presence. The cost for such a job is often between $500 and $1000 for treating small apartments and offices. This will buy a trained dog to detect the vermin, sprayed steam and chemical sprays, and follow-up visits with the canine to ensure the bedbugs are gone.

My sister came to live at my house a few months ago, that being said. She has been still living here but also spending nights at her boyfriends house. She came over my house today and while she was here had informed me that where she is staying they have bed bugs. Her 7 month old son is getting bitten.

Can they bring them to my house now as they visit? ?

If she comes to stay here now because they have bugs can she transfer them here?

I don’t want to throw my sister out and her baby but I don’t want bugs either. My house is very clean and free of any kind of bugs, we treat for almost everything and a very clean people.

Yes they can be brought into the home but before you go and kick out your sister for it, which sounds a bit extrem, consider this:

Bed bugs are back on the rise…very high rise….they are becoming much more common as if we were back in the day….why? Because foriegners that we can not offend and hold and have checked for diseases and bugs like we use to, are bringing them into the country.

There are ways of getting rid of them but you will need to look on line. If they are already there they are not going to leave just because your sister and her baby do.

Bed bugs or fleas? very looong!?

Dec-1-2008 By admin

A couple of years ago our house became infested with the little blood sucker fleas brought into to our house by our loved up cat who fell in love with the local feral cat, we tried every store bought product, in the end we took up all our carpets, got some decent flea spot on and acclaim household spray which seem to eradicate the little blighters, since then we don’t seem to have had a problem, we treat our 8 cats (yes she had kittens) with frontline spot on every couple of months and being as two of them are white we would be able to tell straight away if they had fleas, anyway last night whilst happily typing away on Yahoo answers I felt an itching on my hand I look down and lo I saw something that look very similar to a flea, eek!! anyway I was able to pick it up and get rid of it down our sink, I didn’t think to have a close up look but now I have come to think of it none of our cats have fleas, we don’t have carpet for them to breed and this thing didn’t do the high jump, my skin where it bit was red for a while with itching and still feels a bit itchy, do you think it may of been a bed bug? if so double eek and does acclaim work on these little bug’gers too?
thanks

hi i have a dog too who was infested with fleas and ticks and even if i treated it the fleas and ticks keep on multiplying fast because even without a carpet they can live for a year and have children living just in the floors and walls..and even if we had our whole house under pest control i think its been a more than a year since i can finally say we are free..lol..

I have been freaking out for the past month or two now about having bed bugs. We were treated and did everything we were told and are now beginning to get the bites again. We thought it may have been dust mites (and still haven’t ruled them out) but now I found a bug FINALLY! It looks like a flea maybe? It definately doesnt look like a bed bug. Its not flat or brown. It looks like a humpback with that long back leg like a flea. But it also looks like it just fed of something cause its ‘hump’ looks like its full of blood. Any thoughts on what it could be if not flea or bed bug? Also our bites dont really look like/follow the pattern of bed bugs. No ‘wheel’ or ‘breakfast lunch dinner’ multi bites. Theyre basically random bites all over. Could it be an allergy? Help please!
Thats what I've thought too but wouldn't finding a flea and never finding a bed bug point more toward the fleas? And do exterminators use the same chemicals to treat fleas as bed bugs?

Its sounds to me as if they are bed bugs..
Have you ever seen a picture? Well I had bed bug problem in my home too and they are really hard to find unless the infestation has grown way too much.

There are some products i found that could be used for both bed bugs and fleas as well. Such as an aerosol spray Bed Lam. Being an aerosol spray and all it has the ability to kill the minute it is sprayed on the pest itself. But you have to consider that fact that it will take some time if not sprayed directly on top of the bug.

Check this site out http://www.pestmall.com/bed-bugs.html they have real videos on bed bug inspections and treatment methods.

and the link to the bed lam product http://www.pestmall.com/beinsptokibe.html

It was very helpful to me so i advise you try too.
