Bugs in your home are almost always an irritation, but when a few bugs turn into an infestation, it becomes more than just an irritation. It can become a health hazard and can cause damage to your home. One bug in particular has become increasingly prevalent in recent years and cases of infestation have risen across the country causing alarm in many towns and cities: the bed bug. Bed bugs are one of the worst pests to have in your home because you are their food. Bed bugs feed on the blood of warm-blooded mammals and a sleeping human provides the ideal meal. Bed bug bites can result in painful and itchy rashes and may even cause more extensive allergic reactions. These annoying little pests are also difficult to eradicate because they can live for months without feeding and they spread very easily. Though your own home may be bed bug free, it's easy to pick up bed bugs when traveling. Here are a few tips for avoiding bed bugs. When you travel, make sure to inspect your hotel room carefully. Look at the mattress, bedding, and headboard of your bed for signs of bed bugs. These signs might include live bed bugs, which are tiny reddish brown insects, cast skins, or stains on the bedding. Wash all of your clothing the minute you return home from a trip. Another good way to avoid bed bugs is to wash all new clothing before you wear it when you bring it home from a department or thrift store. If you suspect you already have a bed bug infestation, call a professional exterminator.
