Bed Bug Epidemic: An Old Plague Is Resurfacing. You Should Be Worried.

Bed Bug Epidemic: An old plague is resurfacing

. You should be worried.

Have ever given any thought to the popular nighttime sentiment "Sweet dreams, sleep tight, don"t let the bed bugs bite"? This phrase is actually thought to have come from colonial times when matresses were laid on ropes and pests were a big problem.

Bed Bugs have been an issue for centuries even in the United States up until the poison DDT was introduced in the 1950s. The use of DDT as a pesticide was banned in the 1970"s and these mighty little bed bugs welcomed the news.

The absence of DDT along with advancing technology causing increased world travel has allowed Bed Bugs to thrive. In the past few years the number of bed bug infestations has been very similar with what was known previous to the mid century mark and it continues to rise.

Bed bug infestations have been so relevant that even famous actors and actress are not immune to the problem. In 2006 Saturday Night Live star Maya Rudolph and her husband movie director Paul Anderson were chewed upon by bed bugs in their $13,500-a-month SoHo luxury condo.

Also in 2006, Bed bugs made a cameo appearance on the popular series The King of Queens episode "Buggie Nights" and the Dateline NBC special "Bedbugs Bite". Currently there are shows on the Discovery and TLC channels which show the daily life of an exterminator and many of the episodes are filled with bed bug drama.
