A Long History of Bed Bugs

In case if you have been following the news in the recent times

, bed bugs have become a problem all across the globe. The presence of these bugs have been responsible for closing down major retail stores and these creatures have also been infesting upscale apartment buildings, hotels, schools, theatres, federal buildings, and homes all over the world.

At the same time as it may seem to be a relatively new problem to most people, these blood-sucking creatures have been existent since centuries now. The fossils of these bugs have been found in sites which are 3,550 years old. Bed bugs have also been mentioned in some of the ancient Greek plays performed and written by Aristophanes. The Jewish Talmud mentions the existence of these pests and evidence suggests that these bugs were also used for medicinal purposes. In order to eliminate these bugs effectively, you need to understand the relationship of these bugs with humans and other mammals.

The write-ups documented in the 17th as well as the 18th century, suggest the existence of bedbug colonies. Since these bugs were majorly found amidst bedding or furniture made out of textiles, they were commonly referred to as "bed bugs". A fully grown bed bug is hardly 1/4 inch long and therefore they are difficult to be spotted. These bugs tend to grow rapidly and are majorly found between cracks and crevices of the furniture. Since centuries, people have used all kinds of treatment methods, so as to eliminate the existence of these bugs. They tend to cause a lot of discomfort to the sufferer and eliminating the infestation from the affected areas is an overwhelming task for many.
