How To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs
As you are visiting this site it is likely that you fall into one of several categories.
Possibly you may have bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) already and want to get rid of them. Maybe you suspect you may have bed bugs and want information, maybe you may be worried about getting a bed bug infestation and want to know how to prevent this, or possibly you are just curious about bed bugs.
Whatever the case this site has the answer for you.
What are bed bugs?
There are a lot of fallacies and misconceptions about bed bugs, one of the biggest urban myths is that every bed has them.
This is simply not true!
Every bed has dust mites which feed on human skin, these are not bed bugs!
Bed bugs are visible to the naked eye and are surprisingly large, especially after a meal of blood! Adult bed bugs are about the size and shape of an apple pip and can move quite quickly when disturbed.
Where did bed bugs come from?
They evolved from bugs which feed on bats (Cimex pipistrella etc) and probably evolved around the times when human beings started living in caves.
Bats would only live in the caves for half the year round whereas human beings would inhabit the caves all year round, thus providing a better opportunity for a regular meal.
However, because the bugs historically had to endure long periods without feeding, modern day bed bugs can survive
for extended periods without a meal, up to a year or more in fact.
For many years they were practically extinct in many areas, the invention of highly effective insecticides such as DDT and the removal of much of the slum dwellings where they were prevalent saw pest controllers dealing with very few infestations during the middle and later part of the twentieth century. However, during the last few years they are back and with a vengeance.
To say they have reached plague proportions is not stretching the matter too far.
Unlike flies and many other insects they have an ‘incomplete metamorphosis’ which means that they do not go through a larval or ‘maggot’ stage in their development, but the young hatch from eggs as a complete but smaller version of an adult and then grow by shedding their skins.
These skins are often found in beds.
What do bed bugs feed on?
Blood, simply that! They prefer humans but they will bite your cat, dog or other pets as well.
They are nocturnal and typically will emerge in the early hours of the morning when their target is in a deep sleep. They sense their target by detecting the carbon dioxide in exhaled breath and when close in on their meal they switch to infrared detection of body heat.
They inject their prey with a fluid which is both anaesthetic and anti-coagulant which stops you feeling the bite and keeps the blood flowing. They need to feed about once every seven to ten days.
For these reasons bed bug bites tend to be concentrated on the upper torso, bites on the ankles and lower legs suggest fleas.
Where do bed bugs live?
Another urban myth is that they are confined to beds and that burning the beds will solve the problem. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Bed bugs live anywhere within around fifteen to twenty feet of where a person normally sleeps, which in most cases means the entire bedroom. This is why eradicating bed bugs is so difficult as they are not only in the beds but everywhere in the room, in the beds, under the carpets, in furniture, picture frames and even inside electrical sockets and switches.
I have bed bugs, does this mean I’m a dirty person?
Not at all! Some surprisingly upmarket hotels are fighting a losing battle with these pests and some very famous people have suffered.
Bed bugs do not live in dirt and squalor, their diet is YOU and they are the ultimate in having no prejudices, white or black, rich or poor, young or old they will bite you!
How did I get bed bugs?
Well, very difficult to say as they are so very easy to get these days. Maybe you stayed in a hotel or guest house that had them. Maybe you sat next to the wrong person on a bus, tube or train, transport related cases are booming these days. If you live in an apartment or terraced row, any building in fact with attached neighbours, then maybe they just walked in under the door!
Bed bugs spread like wildfire in any form of communal building, apartments, terraced rows, condos etc.
I’m worried I may have bed bugs, how do I tell?

UNL to search every dorm room for bedbugs
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – Officials at the University of
Nebraska-Lincoln said Wednesday they will search every dorm room on
campus for bedbugs after an infestation was discovered earlier this
month.
University officials said they’ve spent $20,000 since Jan. 9 on
services and equipment to get rid of the reddish-brown, wingless
pests, and could end up paying $100,000 for a bug-killing effort
expected to last at least a month.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Juan Franco said 25 student
rooms so far have tested positive in three residence halls: Abel,
Selleck Quadrangle and the Village. A sweep through the residence
halls has located the bugs on couches, in closets and in residence
hall lobby areas, but university officials said the infestation was
relatively small.
“We are telling students if there’s any suspicion at all of bugs
in the rooms or in their belongings, to let us know – whether it’s
a bite or they actually see one, or they just suspect,” Franco
said.
The university is using a rat terrier named Spots to detect the
bugs, and may bring in other dogs from Minneapolis that are capable
of locating bedbugs. Work crews will likely scour the rooms again
after students leave in May to ensure the bugs are gone.
Brian Shanks, the university’s associate director for residence
life, said the university was exploring a ban on used furniture or
carpet that might carry bedbugs. But he acknowledged that such a
policy would be difficult to enforce.
Glenn Schumann, the associate director for facilities, said
roughly 10 percent of the items found in student rooms so far could
qualify as havens for bedbugs.
Franco said the university will heat infested rooms to about 120
degrees for up to four hours to kill the pests. The university also
has spent $7,000 on a carbon dioxide machine that freezes the bugs
and bought eight thermal pouches apiece $450 apiece that can clear
the bugs off smaller items, such as backpacks.
Franco said the university will “pay whatever it takes to take
care of the problem.”
Bedbugs are widely viewed as nocturnal pests that spread quickly
and are difficult to kill. The bugs can cause itchiness and skin
welts, but do not carry diseases. More than 30 colleges and
universities have reported bedbug problems in the last five years,
according to a list provided by the university.
University of Nebraska-Lincoln senior Amanda Wekesser said she
first discovered bites her neck, back, shoulders and legs around
Jan. 8, the day after students returned from winter break. The
meteorology-climatology major she found two mite-sized bugs – one
in her carpet, and one on a futon – and killed them both. She found
two more last weekend, and placed a live one in a Styrofoam cup for
testing, which later confirmed it was a bedbug.
The university’s student newspaper, The Daily Nebraskan, called
for Housing Director Sue Gildersleeve to resign this week amid
reports that her office attempted to conceal the discovery of
bedbugs in Wekesser’s room.
Franco told reporters Wednesday that Gildersleeve had not asked
anyone to lie about the infestation, and had handled the situation
appropriately. Gildersleeve and other university officials said
students can speak freely about bedbug infestations, but they
wanted to protect student privacy.
“Our protocol has always been, it’s your choice what you
disclose,” Gildersleeve said.

Don’t Let Bed Bugs Take a Bite Out of Your Business Reputation
Barely the size of an apple seed, the tiny bed bug is creating major headaches for business owners. A nuisance pest that does not transmit disease, the unsavory fact that bed bugs feed on human blood engenders a level of revulsion well out of proportion to their miniscule size. When this parasitic insect infests a retail store or commercial business office, the public stigma associated with bed bugs can cause employees to panic, send customers fleeing, damage the firm’s business reputation and tarnish its corporate brand. That’s a heavy price to pay for a problem over which business owners have no control.
Unlike other unsavory pests, a bed bug infestation is not an indication of poor sanitation or lax maintenance. Bed bugs ride into a retail shop or office building hidden on the clothing and in the possessions of customers and employees. “Bedbugs are hitchhikers; they travel with people and with items that travel with people,” National Pest Management Association (NPMA) spokeswoman Missy Henriksen told USA Today in an August 2010 interview. What frustrates business owners is that they are being held accountable and burdened with the cost of getting rid of a problem they did not create.
Virtually unheard of in the U.S. a decade ago, bed bug infestations have tripled in the U.S. since 2005, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A major headache for hoteliers since they started returning to the U.S. in the luggage of foreign travelers, bed bugs gradually spread to travelers’ homes and in the past year have been increasingly discovered in commercial buildings. In a 2010 survey conducted by the NPMA and University of Kentucky, 20% of U.S. pest control firms reported treating bed bug infestations in commercial buildings, compared to less than 1% in 2007.
As the nation’s busiest international gateway, New York City has suffered early in the national bed bug invasion and has proven to be an indicator of the growing pattern of bed bug infiltration for other cities. In recent months, bed bug infestations have moved beyond hotels and residential buildings and been increasingly reported in NYC retail stores, popular entertainment venues and commercial office buildings. Bed bugs have also hit hotels and motels nationwide, government offices in Washington D.C., Federal offices in Philadelphia and Kentucky, and most recently a well-known high-rise business tower in Chicago.
Adept hitchhikers, bed bugs are easily transported between home and work in backpacks, shopping bags, briefcases, purses, gym bags, laptop computer cases and the suitcases of frequent travelers. Customers, employees, vendors, cleaning staff, and maintenance contractors — anyone can bring bed bugs into a place of business. Bed bugs have been found in office furniture and supplies transported in an infested delivery truck. When bed bugs invade, file cabinets, wooden desks, upholstered chairs, cubicle walls, carpeting, employee lockers, padded benches in changing rooms and cluttered bookshelves provide attractive harborage. “They (bed bugs) tend to prefer fabrics and wood, but they can be drawn to warmth and end up almost anywhere,” warned national bed bug expert Michael Potter, a University of Kentucky entomologist, in an August 2010 article posted on Forbes.com.
Citing the “alarming resurgence” of bed bug populations in the U.S., the EPA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently issued a joint statement calling bed bugs a serious public health threat and stating, “Bed bugs cause a variety of negative physical health, mental health and economic consequences.” While nearly half of bed bug victims do not react to their bites, bed bug bites can cause mild to severe allergic reactions and, in rare cases, life-threatening anaphylactic shock. But it is the mental anguish that many bed bug victims experience that most concerns public health officials. Anxiety, insomnia, depression, stress and paranoia are common. “Probably one of the most under-reported issues is the mental anguish that comes with having bedbugs,” Henriksen told USA Today.
No business is immune from bed bugs. Some of Manhattan’s elite hotels have been sued in high profile lawsuits from guests claiming to have been bitten by bed bugs. While hotels and apartment buildings still garner the bulk of bed bug lawsuits, recent suits have also targeted dry cleaners, laundries, furniture stores, moving companies, universities and cruise lines. Most businesses prefer to settle bed bug claims out of court to avoid negative publicity and potentially high jury awards. Settlement amounts are generally much less than the jury-awarded sums that capture national headlines. Lawyers note that many bed bug victims expect to be compensated for mental anguish above reimbursement for medical treatment and replacement of infested belongings. “If I’m trying to settle a case, I might be offering $8,000, $10,000, and the person wants millions. They feel violated,” Christian Hardigree, a lawyer and professor of hospitality law at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, told Bloomberg Businessweek in a 2007 article.
Bed bug lawsuits started attracting attention in 2003 when a Chicago jury awarded two bed bug victims $382,000 in punitive and compensatory damages for bites suffered at a budget chain motel. The generous verdict unleashed an avalanche of bed bug lawsuits. In 2004, a well known hotelier settled a bed bug suit brought against its posh hotel in New York City for a reported $150,000. In 2007, a Chicago couple filed a $20 million lawsuit against a Catskills resort after the woman had to be hospitalized for a severe allergic reaction to bed bug bites. In 2008 a news channel employee sued the owner and manager of the building that houses the studio where he works for bed bug bites sustained at work. In 2008, a New Jersey couple claiming they had been sold bed bug-infested furniture by a top department store was awarded $49,000. Last March, elderly and disabled residents of two Des Moines apartment buildings filed a class-action suit against building owners and managers over inadequate bed bug control.
While lawsuits damage a business’ bottom line, negative publicity can deliver the knock-out punch. Consumer reports of bed bug activity on BedBugRegistry.com, the new bed bug-tracking iPhone app or popular bed bug blogs can scare off potential customers and erode brand value. Unfortunately for business owners, self-reported sites make no effort to verify consumer reports of bed bug activity nor do they update reports when bed bug problems are corrected.
There is no magic bullet that will make bed bugs disappear. “The main defense against bed bugs is education and awareness because everybody has a role to play in managing bed bugs, and it’s much easier to manage if you catch it early,” Edwin Rajotte, professor of entomology and IPM coordinator at Penn State University, told Forbes.com in a recent article on the most bed bug-infested cities. Privacy issues prevent questioning employees, visitors and suppliers about personal exposure to bed bugs or performing visual inspections of clothing and belongings, but there are effective, proactive measures business owners can take to reduce the risk of bed bug infestation.
Prevention. Scheduling regular facility inspections by a licensed pest control company with demonstrated bed bug expertise ensures early detection of bed bug activity. Early detection can contain bed bug activity to a small area, minimizing disruption to your business and extermination expense. Pest control professionals can also recommend Integrated Pest Management (IPM) procedures that can help keep your business bed bug free. To prevent bed bug transportation between home and work, some companies now provide tight-sealing plastic containers for storage of personal belongings while employees are at work.
Education. Maintaining a bed bug free work environment is a communal effort that requires employee cooperation. Employees should be taught how to identify bed bugs and signs of infestation, where to look for bed bugs, preventative steps they can take to avoid bringing bed bugs to work or taking them home, and what to do if they see or suspect bed bug activity. Licensed pest control professionals may be able to assist with employee training.
Action Plan. A bed bug action plan that clearly spells out the responsibilities of employees and employer should be implemented and communicated to managers and employees. The importance of early detection should be emphasized.
Communication. Employees should be encouraged to report bed bug activity at work or home and be assured that doing so will incur no penalty or jeopardize their employment. Employers should inform employees immediately of any bed bug activity and tell employees what steps are being taken to control the infestation.
Treatment. Bed bug-treatment protocols should be developed and in place to ensure prompt response and treatment by a licensed pest control professional if bed bug activity is detected.
Staff Training by Professionals. ChemTec Pest Control provides comprehensive training for commercial clients in how to prevent and monitor for bed bugs. Many other pest control firms nationwide are following suit; understanding that prevention and careful monitoring will allow for early intervention and treatment mitigating damage to a business’ reputation.

Landlords Vs. Tenants: Who Pays When Bed Bugs Invade?
When bed bugs invade an apartment, who calls the exterminator and who pays? The conundrum in the emerging field of bed bug law is pitting landlords against tenants and filling court dockets.
Legislation recently introduced in the New Jersey Legislature as Assembly Bill 3203 would force landlords to shoulder the entire financial burden of combating bed bugs by making them solely responsible for conducting annual inspections, distributing and displaying educational material created by the state, immediately treating reported bed bug infestations, and maintaining a bed bug-free environment throughout the apartment building or complex. Similar bills are under consideration in other states.
Citing the nationwide 500% increase in bed bug infestations and calling the common bed bug “a public nuisance,” Bill 3203 states, “it is a matter of public welfare to protect New Jersey citizens’ health from this pest.” Noting that owners of multiple dwellings are “in the best position to coordinate the extermination bedbug infestations in that multiple dwelling,” the bill directs, “Every owner of a multiple dwelling shall be responsible, at his own expense, for maintaining the multiple dwelling free of an infestation of bedbugs.” Landlords who fail to act would be fined $300 per infested apartment and $1,000 per infested common area. Local health boards would have the power to act for and bill unresponsive landlords. (You can read the complete text of New Jersey Bill 3203 on the Stern Environmental website.)
Given the exponential increase in bed bug infestations nationwide, landlords are leery of the possible financial repercussions of such legislation. In New York City, bed bug complaints jumped from 1,839 in 2005 to 8,830 in 2008. Violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development rose from 366 to 2,757 over the same period. New York and New Jersey apartment owners are legally tasked with providing pest control for tenants. It’s the apartment owner’s responsibility to provide tenants with a pest-free living environment. That wasn’t always true. Since the 1908 case of Jacobs v. Morand, tenants had been legally obligated to pay their rent even if bed bugs had made their apartment inhabitable. That changed in 2004 with Ludlow Properties, LLC v. Young when Judge Cyril Bedford ruled in favor of a frustrated tenant who had refused to pay rent for six months because of a persistent bed bug problem, writing:
“Although bed bugs are classified as vermin, they are unlike … mice and roaches, which, although offensive, do not have the effect on one’s life as bed bugs do, feeding upon one’s blood in hoards nightly turning what is supposed to be bed rest or sleep into a hellish experience.”
Today, tenants seem to be winning the litigation war against landlords, but it’s a tough fight. When bed bug infestations are discovered, tenants and landlords point the finger of blame at each other. “It gets back to the issue of responsibility,” said attorney Ronald Languedoc. “In law, the party that asserts a claim usually has a burden of proof. I think it is probably hard to track down where, precisely, they came from and how they got in there.”
Under current New York and New Jersey law, apartment owners bear the responsibility and financial expense of providing housing that is rat-free, roach-free and now bed bug-free. For cash-strapped apartment owners, there’s the rub. Rats, roaches and other vermin are attracted by garbage and unclean conditions. The connection to proper maintenance, efficient trash collection and regular pest control is obvious. The cost of such regular maintenance is an expected part of managing an apartment building. Just like electric, water and other utility costs, these expenses are figured into monthly rent payments and recouped.
Bed bugs are an entirely different problem. Bed bugs are not attracted by filth. They are insects of convenience like lice and fleas. These tiny insects crawl from one infected individual to another. They set up house near beds and in bedrooms, hiding in cracks and crevices during the day and creeping out at night to feed on the blood of their unsuspecting prey – humans. The size of an apple seed, bed bugs multiply quickly and are adept hitchhikers. You can get them from contact with an infected individual, visiting his home, brushing his clothing, standing next to him or borrowing his belongings. You can get bed bugs by sitting in a seat just vacated by an infected person on a subway, park bench, taxi or airplane. Since not all people react to bed bug bites, people often spread bed bugs without even knowing they have them.
Bed bugs can come into an apartment on someone’s clothing, in suitcases and backpacks, in the creases of storage boxes, in the cracks and crevices of used furniture, in the upholstery of a rental sofa and in refurbished mattresses. Apartment owners have no control over what attracts bed bugs or how the annoying little buggers get into the building. You can understand their reluctance to take responsibility for a problem they didn’t create and have no control over. Yet that is exactly what housing legislation requires them to do. Particularly exasperating are the strictures in New York City and under consideration in Jersey City and the New Jersey state legislature that prevent apartment owners from passing along the often hefty costs of eliminating bed bug infestations to their tenants.
The life cycle and living habits of bed bugs only confound the problem. A single female bed bug can produce up to 500 eggs during her one-year lifespan, laying about five eggs per day. Moving through five nymphal stages, bed bugs reach maturity in just five to eight weeks. They nibble on their human prey at night, feeding for up to 10 minutes every three to five days. The tiny bugs are often mistaken for other pests and their bites for mosquito or spider bites. Not all people react to their bites which look like raised, red welts and many don’t react (itching is typical) for several days after being bitten. Some people are so embarrassed, they fail to report an infestation or uselessly try to treat it with Raid. By the time the problem is noticed or reported, a considerable infestation can have developed.
Often by the time they’re identified, bed bugs have spread to other units in a building and the original culprit can be hard to identify. Because bed bugs spread easily through wall voids, elevator shafts, plumbing and wiring conduits, and heating and cooling ducts, next door units and those on the floors above and below an infested unit are also likely to be infested. Treatment of one unit can simply send bed bugs scurrying to find new living quarters. Even vacant apartments are not safe as bed bugs can live for one to seven months without a blood meal.
Eliminating bed bugs in a multi-unit apartment building can be a nightmare for everyone and an unexpected financial burden for the owner. Because of the many variables involved – the need for tenant cooperation, the bugs’ minute and numerous hiding places and their tendency to spread quickly and easily — multiple pest control treatments over a spaced period of time are necessary to completely eradicate bed bugs from an apartment building. Apartment owners are being asked to shoulder the financial burden without remuneration, sometimes without essential tenant cooperation, and with no guarantee that the whole mess won’t happen again. It’s not hard to understand why apartment owners feel new bed bug laws are unfair.

Bed Bugs Are Coming – 31 Symptoms To Sound The Alarm
The disrepute of the bed bugs shows that these are just next to the vampires known for their blood sucking acts. Yet many of us do not get the alarm in time. It is quite understandable with the fact that bed bugs along with some pests had been exterminated well with the widespread usage of DDT in the US right after World War I.
Now, owing to the international travel & immigration, the symptoms of bed bugs are again surfacing. Unfortunately people do not come to know that it is the bed bugs crisis until they actually have excessive itching and the oval-shape insect bites. Even these symptoms seem to fade away the chances of being related to the real cause that is the bed bugs as they get mistaken with the mosquito bites and / or the dust mite bites.
When ever a household experiences the bed bugs symptoms, instead of checking their mattresses, couch upholstery, beddings, etc. for the bed bugs, usually, the members of the family spray the other gel-type insect sprays in order to kill the cockroaches and / or mosquitoes. Of course, this does not restraint the bed bugs, and hence, the furniture & upholstery continue to be infested with the bed bugs.
Here are some tips to understand that it is the bed bugs crisis at home:
1. A house heavily infested with the bed bugs would surely have an offensive, musty, sweet scent. Actually this odor is released by the bed bugs’ through the scent glands.
2. Watch out for the fecal and / or excrement stains, the shed skins of the bed bug nymphs in the crevices, egg cases, cracks or the holes on or near the bed.
3. The furniture near your bed must also be checked.
4. The bedroom wallpapers, the bed springs & the clothing in the dresser – all these areas must be checked for the reddish brown stains of excrement.
5. The living room couch must be checked for the stains, specially in case you or for that matter any other member of the family gets the bed bugs symptoms like the swollen bites, immediately after sitting on the couch.
6. All places in the house where the person stays for 30 minutes or more must surely be checked for the bed bugs.
The hot shot hiding places for the bed bugs are:
7. Thin cracks and / or seams of your mattresses are quite well suited places to locate bed bugs.
8. Actually the bed bugs always want to live as close as possible to their food source that is the human blood.
9. The cracks near to the bed or that are around your bedroom & living room are the key places where the bed bugs love to hide.
10. The moment you sight the bed bug in any part of the house, it becomes obvious that now they are all around the place.
Here are some tips to locate bed bugs:
11. Inspect the entire house the very moment any off the bed bug symptoms are found true.
12. Make sure to dismantle the whole bed.
13. Check the headboard
14. Inspect all the seams of the mattresses thoroughly.
15. In caser you come across a reddish brown excrement & sheddings of the insect skin, it implies that the house is now infested with the bed bugs.
16. Next essential step would be to tear off the wallpaper.
17. There are chances that bed bugs must have created a big colony under that wallpaper.
18. Leave no wooden furniture with out inspection for bed bugs.
19. There are chances that the furniture would have bed bugs as well as this insect prefers wood or cloth for the apt hiding places as compared to plastic or metal.
20. Check the empty night stands by emptying them and examining inside as well as outside.
21. Next, tip it over on the inspection of the crevices, recesses, cracks, corners, etc. of the wood work underneath.
22. Since the bed bugs love wood, chances are that the bed bugs would hide there inside.
Some interesting facts about bed bugs are as follows:
23. Bed bugs feed on as they pierce the human skin using its 2 elongated beaks.
24. One beak injects saliva containing anesthetic that reduces the pain of the pierced skin along with an anticoagulant that keeps the blood from getting clotted.
25. Another beak is used to suck the blood.
26. Bed bugs are actually nocturnal insects. So naturally they become active in the night, majorly for one hour that is when the dawn breaks.
27. These are oval-shaped flat insects that hide in the extremely thin cracks where it is fairly easy for them to breed.
28. The adult bed bug lives for around 18 months or so with out any feed simply hiding or breeding in their colony. They wait there patiently for the victim.
29. Bed bugs are also known as the hitchhikers owing to their ability of traveling long distances simply by riding on the suitcases, luggage & clothing.
30. A female bed bug can lay up to 300 eggs in her lifetime.
31. The eggs of the bed bugs hatch to form nymph with in 10 days.
