Here is your latest Bed Bugs Tips news.
Finding out if your house is infested with bed bugs is simple, you just have to sleep in your bed and wake up early morning. If you find some red spots around your legs, arms neck or face, then you probably have bed bug infestations. Finding out if the house is that simple, but finding out where the bed bugs are is another matter.
The bed bugs were almost eradicated in the 1940’s but there have been a huge boom of bed bug infestations in the year 1995. This is mostly attributed to the increased travel activities of people and the constant exchange of furniture like cabinets and especially beds. These bugs are exceptionally good at hiding. They are mostly found in the crevices in beds and other furniture near the bed. These creatures are only active at night, making their detection really hard.
There are several ways to detect these pesky pests. One is to use a heater and carbon dioxide. Bed bugs are known to detect their host through heat and the air people exhale, which is carbon dioxide. By using a heater and carbon dioxide, probably by using dry ice, you create a lure to think that the host is the heater. Leave it at night and wait until the bed bugs swarm your device.
Another traditional method is to call the exterminator. Their availability is almost a certainty and you can always find their phone numbers by simply flipping the yellow pages or contacting them through the World Wide Web. Paying is a must as always with this kind of method but the exterminators can always give you advice on how to prevent bed bug infestations in the future.
Another, less common way to find bed bugs is to use dogs trained to sniff out bed bugs. Dogs’ keen sense of smell is a hundred times more sensitive than humans and sniffing out those pesky pests is almost a certainty, with a 97% success rate according to studies.
These are just few of the many ways to find out where those bed bugs are. Never torch your house again as you can always outsmart these pests.
