With Bed Bugs hitting the press here's everything you need to know about them and how to treat them!
Let's start with the facts...
- Bed Bugs are classed as an ectoparasite which means they feed but do not live on the host
- Bed Bugs can live for up to one year without a host to feed on!
- Bed Bugs locate their food source by following the C02 given off by a living host as it breathes and following the heat signature given off from warmer areas of the body
- Bed Bugs inject the host with an aesthetic to prevent them from feeling the bites and then follow this with an anticoagulant so that they can feed without the blood clotting
- Bed Bugs have been found on aeroplanes, trains, ships & coaches, and can be found in almost every city! (You only have to read the headlines to hear all of the Bed Bug stories)
- Bed Bugs will transfer via any means necessary in order to find food sources.
