Don’t Let the Bed Bugs Bite! By Anna Gehres (who is now feeling very itchy after writing this!)
August 27th, 2010
An average bed bugSo what are bed bugs? Bed bugs are wingless insects that feed on the blood of humans and other mammals. They are a rusty brown color and oval shaped. Bed bugs are not known to carry disease but bed bugs themselves can spread easily.
Bed bugs can happen to anyone! Even the cleanest homes and hotel rooms can get bed bugs. It is important to know how to tell if bed bugs are present in your home. Look for the following:
Small rusty spots on mattresses and bed liners.
Red itchy welts on the skin (often in a row) that occur overnight.
While bed bugs are often found on mattresses, they can also hide in electrical outlets, window/door frames, drapery, baseboards, furniture, or loose wallpaper. Removing bed bugs is possible, but in many cases requires the help of a professional exterminator. Awareness of bed bugs and early detection can help protect your family. Here are a few suggestions to prevent bed bugs:
Regularly check mattresses and linens.
Inspect secondhand items thoroughly for bed bugs.
Check for bed bugs when traveling to hotels.

Hey I realy enjoyed reading your blog Bed Bugs Freak Me Out, I found it on Bing I book marked it to show to my wife.
People are not aware how pesticides used to treat bed bugs can be dangerous. Just a couple days ago on the page NJ.com was published an article how one Newark company was punished because they used hazard pesticides to treat bed bugs at people’s homes?! And they should be professional’s! I have a problem with bed bugs too and I found this article with useful information What kills bed bugs is not harmless at all! I will go with their method.
Bed bugs are not just a discomfort, but a serious health hazard as well. They live in your home and feed on human blood so they are not to be taken lightly. The ultimate question is what kills bed bugs efficiently?
I am only leaving this comment for a backlink. Thanks.
Good day… I am Tanya Lee and I am a high school teacher living in Thailand. I’d prefer to be frank. I need to have backlinks to my esl learning site and I hope you could allow my post here. This site is an absolutely free website which facilitates students on the essentials of writing essays and I am certain that lots of students will consider it helpful. Again, I appreciate you will accept my posting, and I thank you in earnest.
Thank for posting. Very nice good site.
It’s really interesting how bed bugs have made a comeback. When you’re a kid, your folks would always say “don’t let the bed bugs bite” but we never knew what they were. Now we do. Ewwwww…….
