The Jersey Journal reports that this week, a man in Hudson County, New Jersey entered into the Hudson County Superior Court for his scheduled drug court appearance. Nothing about this incident would have been out of the ordinary, but the man was described as being “covered in bed bugs.” As a result, a large part of the court needed to be sprayed for the pests to avoid anyone else taking the bed bugs home. Unfortunately, what happened with these bed bugs in Hudson County was not an isolated incident and bed bug populations have been on the rise lately. Because bed bugs can be so easily spread from person to person through clothing, everyone should be vigilant in order to avoid an infestation of their own. Here are a few ways to handle bed bugs in your house. Chemicals/Products There are products that are sold at most retail stores that can help to lessen the likelihood of an infestation. Most of these are sprays that are applied to your mattress and any other furniture that might become infested. Choose one that is safe for your family and pets and is also environmentally friendly. Cleanliness It should go without saying, but cleanliness goes a long way toward keeping Hudson County bed bugs away from your family. When washing linens, be sure to do it consistently and always use hot water to kill any unwanted living creatures in the wash. Regular vacuuming will eliminate most of the population if they are in your home, but it is not enough to entirely rid yourself of the pests. Inspection Like any problem, the first step to solving it is realizing that you actually have a problem on your hands. Look for bite marks on your skin when you wake up to see if anything has been feasting in the night. Also, check for blood stains on your sheets and look for the bugs themselves as well. Dead ones can probably be found in your linens, but closely inspect them to know they are bed bugs and not any other small insect. There are many sites on which you can compare pictures. Professional Assistance There is no doubt that the best thing a family can do to rid their home of bed bugs is to seek the help of a professional insect control company for bed bugs in Hudson County. Through the most innovative and advanced methods, it will give you peace of mind to know that their work has been effective in eliminating the infestation. Bed bugs are a big issue in highly populated areas. If you suspect that your home is infested with bed bugs, do not wait for the problem to fix itself; take the steps you can on your own and call the professionals too.
