It seemed like bed bugs were simply a myth, or at least a pest that existed in the past in third world countries. The world changed, and no longer were these pests mentioned as a means to say goodnight. With world travel becoming limitless, their resurgence has become an important part of life in North America. People from all walks of life are dealing with infestations and how to treat them. One of the best ways comes with a specialized bed bug dog. While this canine is not meant to hunt them, it is an aid in the entire process.
It's unfortunate, but Boston, MA citizens aren't spared of this nightmare. Many of its top hotels are accommodating them, as are some residential upscale neighborhoods. No one is immune. The problem is that they can be anywhere, and as such, they can be carried to the next place. It's important to be cautious, to minimize the risk of helping their spread.
One precaution is to inspect the accommodations before spending the night and bringing personal items in the space. Do this by checking for different signs of their presence, such as by inspecting the headboard and the scenes of mattresses. Also, look in the crevices of nightstands and lamps for any signs of life.
Leave personal items in the suitcase, on the luggage rack. When packing to return home, leave luggage outdoors for close inspection. Wash and dry clothes in the hottest possible setting without damaging them. Bedbugs are small, and can easily be missed unless their bellies are full with blood, which turns them a reddish-brown color.
If they reside in the home, there could be lots of trouble. The infestation can grow easily out of control unless thoroughly treated, and quickly so. The canine specialized in this field will sniff out these pests so that they can be successfully eradicated. The dog is one part of the overall extermination plan.
Their purpose is to guide the exterminator to their preferred hiding spots. Once uncovered, the rest of the treatment for extermination can be followed. Certainly, no one claims that this is an inexpensive part of the overall plan, but it can give people peace of mind.
Rest assured it will be a lengthy process, mostly because they hide so well. Additionally, they can survive without food for quite a while. They can hide in the smallest of crevices and can be virtually anywhere, as in furniture, mattresses, pillows, floorboards, walls, and so on.
Remember their preference for proximity to the bed. As they are active at night, when humans and pets sleep, they feed on their host. They pose no risk to one's health, but their bites usually leave a rash and cause discomfort, which can interfere with sleep. The important thing is to understand what they can do, and how easily they can be brought home, so be cautious. For instance, avoid picking up curbside discarded furniture and items, which may be infested with these pests.
