Bed bugs are a pest that were virtually unheard of in the developed world for the majority of the 20th century. Having been an assumed presence through most of human history, technology saw their decline at that time. So it was a surprise for many people when develop cities saw the rise of these little pests again throughout the past decade or so.
Some people have cited bans on pesticides as the reason for this, while other have suggested that the insects themselves have an increased tolerance to the treatments that things like mattresses are put through. The reasons as to why this has happened can be debated back and forth, but the fact remains that they have created a number of problems for urban dwellers.
The Spread Of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs spread relatively easily, which explains the rapid increase in their reported population. Cities in particular have been hit hard. This is due to the sheer number of people, and the closeness in which they live. These city centres also tend to have higher rates of renter turnover, which easily allows infected items to be brought into new buildings, in which the infestation will then spread.
Mattresses and bed frames are often the culprit for the being the host of bed bugs, as their name might suggest. But you should not assume that the bed is the only place that they live in. They can borough into wood, and cling to fabrics easily. This means that any second hand wooden furniture or clothing that is purchased would be checked for bed bugs.
The seams of clothing is where the bugs will tend to burrow into, and in wood look for dark spots. It can take a trained eye to spot them, but more aware that you are of the signs of these insects, the better you can protect your home against them.
There have even been reports of library books being the source of infestations. Being made of organic materials, the bugs can cling to and reside in them. They will borough in to the spine of the book which can then being carried to different homes. So it is equally as important to be aware of what is going out of your home if you have a bed bug problem.
