PEST EXTERMINATORS DISCOVER BED BUGS IN HOTEL BUILDINGS, COLLEGE DORMS AND HOME BED ROOMS
Adult bed bugs are about the shape and size of an apple seed and go through molt stages and shedding their skins. Which is an indicator of their presence. After feeding, the bed bugs return to their harboring place to hide. They eventually defecate in these areas, which appears as black to brown stains on porous surfaces or black to brown mounds on nonporous surfaces. Bites also may indicate bed bug activity by appearing as welts on human skin.
Bedbugs leave itchy, bloody welts on human skin. Adult bed bugs can live for several months without eating. Making extermination and removal of bed bugs difficult. Once inside a hotel or home bed bugs spread rapidly from room to room. Gaining access through pipes and infesting vacuum cleaners, clothing and luggage. In a hotel, bed bugs can even spread to neighboring rooms because guests may end up moving to another room.
Many news reports, in recent years, have focused on the discovery of bed bugs in upscale hotels. A number of lawsuits have been filed by guests in these fashionable hotels who awoke to find hundreds of bed bug bites covering their skin. Searching on TripAdvisor and other travel-review web sites regularly reveals information and even photos confirming the presence of bed bugs in numerous hotels. Bed bugs can arrive on the clothing or in the suitcases of guests from infested homes or other hotels harboring the pests. Therefore hotels can be an easy target for bed bug infestations.
How are bed bugs spread
Bed bugs live in furniture, clothing or bedding where eggs may also be present. They spread by crawling and may contaminate multiple rooms in a home, apartment buildings, hotels and even businesses. They may also be present in boxes, suitcases, or other goods. which can be moved from residence to residence or from a hotel to a home. Bed bugs can live on clothing from infested homes and may be spread by a person who unknowingly is wearing infested clothing.
Are bedbugs just in beds?
Bedbugs are not just in beds. They can be in chair cushions, sofas, behind electrical outlets, cracks and crevices around baseboards, or even behind picture frames. Check the bottom of drapes as this is a favorite place for infestation. In other words, they can live pretty much anywhere.
How to control bedbugs
Any effective bedbug control strategy should start with a careful and thorough inspection by a pest control professional. A thorough inspection is needed for all known and suspected spots where there may be an infestation. This is not a pest that can be controlled effectiv do-it-yourself measures. Once the bed bugs are discovered, the pest control professional will develop a treatment and control strategy with the customer depending on the extent of the infestation.
Getting rid of bed bugs is not an easy process and in most cases bed bug infestation will require treatment by a pest-control expert. A variety of low-odor sprays, dusts, and aerosol insecticides can be used to eradicate bed bugs. These must be applied to all areas where the bugs are observed as well as spaces where they may crawl or hide. The pest-control company can help determine if the mattress can be disinfected or if it must be discarded. Since beds cannot readily be treated with insecticides, it’s often necessary to discard infested mattresses and possibly beds.
The pest-control expert may recommend certain forms of deep-cleaning such as scrubbing the infested surfaces with a stiff brush to remove eggs. Dismantling bed frames and furniture. Filling cracks in floors, walls, and moldings or whatever other steps there may be to take. Also encasing mattresses within special plastic bags and using a powerful vacuum on cracks and crevices.
