The bed bug’s namesake is a little misleading…
Here’s my first post in a series called “Bed Bugs: 12 Tips to Help You Sleep Easy.” It’s also available as a free eBook on our Web Site at: www.LaruePest.com.
A more appropriate name could very well be, “How did they get there? I want them out!” bug.
The point is, if you want to rid bed bugs from your home, you might have to think outside the box—or bed.
When we say “Bed bug infestation,” you say, “Really? Aren’t bed bugs like so 20th century?”
Here’s a little history lesson on Bed Bugs before I start giving you tips on how to get rid of them. All of our Bed Bug information is available in an eBook on our Web Site as well.
It’s true.
Bed bugs were largely eradicated as pests in the United States in the early 1940s. But (and that’s a fairly big ‘but’) although we thought we left them behind in our past, bed bugs have re-surged in the past decade, kind of like leggings and Scott Baio. And to epidemic proportions like, well, leggings and Scott Baio.
Huh? Bed bugs?
Yes, Bed Bugs OR Cimex lectularius. The same nasty buggers that did this to some poor woman.
As a follow up to my series, “5 Things You Need To Know About Subterranean Termites“…
…I thought you might find it helpful to see a United States map showing the risks of termites.
