Bed Bugs New Haven are something most of us have heard about but we thought that this kind of pest was something that only existed in the past, before modern hygiene, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners. However, bed bugs are a pest that has made a strong resurgence in the United States in the past couple of years. They’re everywhere, even in the cleanest hotels and the cleanest homes. Anyone, no matter how clean their home is, can find their home infested with bed bugs.
How do these bugs manage to get into our homes in the first place? They’re travelers. Bed Bugs New Haven could be in a hotel. All it takes is once person to pick up bed bugs in their luggage by placing their luggage open on the floor or open on top of the bed, or not placing their dirty items in a sealed bag before putting them in the suitcase for the trip home. Once on the airplane, the bugs can actually migrate from one person’s suitcase or carry-on item to another person’s bag. That’s how they hitch a ride all the way back to your house. They’re able to thrive in our homes because since the 1940’s and 1950’s, we’ve made an effort to not use as much insecticides in our homes. Unfortunately, not using harmful chemicals in our homes makes them more hospitable to these creatures.
What bed bugs do is actually the stuff nightmares are made of. They do feast on humans and pets. They are attracted to the carbon monoxide our bodies produce, and they attach themselves right to our skin and drink our blood. We don’t feel it because they inject our skin first with their own little numbing solution. It takes them 1 to 7 minutes to complete a feeding. If they get their blood meals, then they go lay their eggs, and the cycle continues.
