It is very important to get a good night's sleep. If you drive to your job or / and if you have a perilous career, you are a hazard if you are tired and if you work with colleagues you are likely to become more short-tempered if, you are tired. These are common concerns for parents with babies, but they are growing problems for others without children as well.
Bed bugs are a fairly significant cause of sleepless nights. Imagine it Would you be able to sleep if you had tens of blood-sucking beetles in your bed with you? it is a mushrooming problem in the developed world where bed bugs have made a big come-back over the last fifteen years.
The ordinary bed bug that attacks human beings are called Cimex lectularius. They are small, beetle-like creatures that are similar to apple pips. They are red to brown, depending on whether they have recently fed or not. They are fairly fast runners while they are hungry, but often appear sluggish when they are full.
Bedbugs do not have normal mouths and teeth, so they cannot eat rubbish food. Their mouths are merely two tubes, one to squirt anti-coagulant and analgesic in and one to suck blood out. The analgesic is the reason why most people do not know they are or have been bitten, unless they are allergic to the bugs' saliva.
Bedbugs like to live near their source of food and hence their name. They often live in ripped mattresses, but they will also live behind skirtings and other woodwork in the bedroom. They do not build nests and will live alone or in a huddle with tens of others.
If you do get a reaction to the bite, you will often see five or six bites in a line. The bites might look like the end of a rubber on a pencil: pink-red a quarter of an inch in diameter. There might also be a swelling, but the bites might not show up for several days, which can make it hard to know where you were bitten, if you are travelling.
It is very hard to be rid of bed bugs, so you ought to call in the experts, if you can afford it. Otherwise, tie a bedbug mattress cover to the bed and use bedbug pillows. Throw out all your clutter and boil-wash or dry clean all your clothes and then seal them in plastic bags,
Repair any rents in your sheets, furniture and wallpaper and cracks in your plaster. Redecorate if you can. Strip everything, even the woodwork and steam-clean behind it. Seal the woodwork back with mastic or silicone. Steam-clean the carpets.
Purchase a specialist insecticide for bed bugs too. Most of these do not work, but there are new products coming on the market all the time, so stay abreast of developments by doing some research first. Good luck, if you have bedbugs, you will need it.
