Bed bugs are small blood-sucking parasites that feed on blood from warm-blooded animals, like humans. Bed bugs were almost completely obsolete during the mid-1900s, but have risen in population since around the year 2000. Scientists are not positive as to why this rise took place, but speculations suggest that it is due to an increase in traveling. Bed bugs have several health problems associated with them including allergic reactions and skin rashes. However, there are no major health problems that have occurred from bed bug bites. Bed bugs in NYC typically harbor in places such as mattresses, bedding, carpeting, and upholstery. However, there are many cases where exterminators have found bed bugs hiding in places like remote controls and other uncommon places. This is why it’s extremely important for people to have a professional exterminator take care of the problem if an infestation occurs. Most bed bug infestations at home occur due to recent traveling done by the homeowner. Hotel rooms are very common places for bed bugs to harbor, and most bed bugs are transported from hotel rooms to homes through luggage and suitcases. When visiting a hotel room, there are several precautions that travelers should do to prevent bed bugs from coming home with them. First of all, never place luggage on the floor or bed, as this is where bed bugs typically hide out. Instead, keep luggage on the luggage rack or dresser. Second, cover luggage in protective plastic when it’s not being used. This will prevent bed bugs from entering suitcases when unattended to.
