| What you should know about Bedbugs |
|
Bedbugs were very common in the 1940’s and 1950’s but the wide spread use of long- term residual insecticides virtually eliminated them. Recently however, bedbugs have undergone a dramatic resurgence. They are great travellers and are readily transported via luggage, clothing, bedding, stuffed animals and furniture. They are now found in homes, apartments, hotels, motels, dormitories, shelters and modes of transportation. Reliable is a Pickering based company engaged in bed bugs extermination in towns such as Toronto, Whitby and Ajax. Bedbugs are small (1/8 inch), brownish, flattened insects that feed solely on blood. The immature stages (nymphs) resemble the adults but are smaller. Female bedbugs lay thin eggs in secluded areas depositing up to 5 a day, and 500 during a lifetime. The eggs hatch; the nymphs (young) emerge and actively seek a blood meal, preferably a human. If no human is available they will feed on other warm-blooded animals, including pets. Adult bedbugs can survive for 6-7 months without a blood meal and have been known to live in abandoned houses for one year. These creatures are small but can create a lot of trouble. Bedbugs, if stuck on to the human body continuously for weeks, may cause some serious allergies and rashes on the body. In that case a physician should be immediately contacted to reduce the effect of the allergy caused by the bedbugs. It is always advisable to the residents to not to use the insecticides on the mattresses or at any other thing or place to kill bed bugs that is just in direct contact with the person.
