Bed Bugs Cure - Get The Facts and Lower The Noise About Social Stigma!
Bed bug infestation is on the rise
Bed bug infestation is on the rise. Just the thought of these bugs makes you itch. The best weapon to have in your arsenal is information. Getting the facts can lower the noise about an unwarranted social stigma, despite its irritation factor.
For moms with school kids, the headlines cause further alarm. Now that the kids are back in school, moms await that first school memo advising of lice in the classroom. Any mom who has spent miserable nights 'nit picking' those devils and vacuuming incessantly knows what I mean.
While neither lice nor bed bugs are disease spreaders, the social stigma and 'ugh' value run rampant.
Google's bed bug problem was posted by a marketing employee who tweeted the news on her twitter account. The account was subsequently and quickly closed, suggesting that this publicity was unwelcome.
Strange, considering that exterminator companies were then jockeying for position on Google's ranking for their advertising.
What is the cure for bed bugs?
Prevention comes first. If you think you have a bite, identified by small rows of welts, do a full sweep of your home. Get online to view the 'close up' of the enemy so you will know what to look for. Clean and vacuum all areas when people rest.
If someone in your household travels frequently, clean out luggage and wash all traveling clothes in hot temperatures immediately. Bed bugs favor places that are used frequently: dorms, hotels and, especially, used furniture stores.
After proper identification, you need to bring out the sanitization artillery. Buying a new mattress is a good idea. If not possible, vacuum the mattress thorough and apply a new, sealed cover. All clothes and bedding should be washed in hot, hot, hot water.
Views on the application of various insecticides are all over the board. Insecticides should never be applied to a sleeping area. Sticky traps can be placed to trap rogue bugs that escape vacuum exorcism.
Some advise using Boric Acid in areas around the bed and furniture but never on these items themselves. Online vendors offer a variety of solutions that should be checked out carefully because of health concerns.
There is a grassroots movement in many big cities to bring back DDT, a pesticide that was banned years ago because of serious health issues. More informed professionals call this idea 'nonsense.' They allege that the upswing of infestation is most likely DDT resistant as a result of mutation or will become so, ultimately perpetuating the problem.
Until there is a known safe cure, these are the best weapons we have. Be attentive for the first signs: containment is a major line of defense.
It also helps to be educated. Hopefully, the stigma that affects innocent folks everywhere will die down as the public becomes more informed. Let's face it: it could happen to anyone.
There may be no complete bed bug cure but now you know what to do. Sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite!
