Bed Bug Problems Grow in Houston
Across the country, the bed bug problem continues to increase.
The situation in New York City is one example of what is happening in many areas – including our Houston area.
A New Daily News-Marist poll revealed that one person in 10 in New York City has had bed bugs in their homes – twice as many as last year. Put another way, the poll suggests that 800,000 people in the city have had these bloodsuckers crawling around in their sheets!
It’s just not homes that are infested but people are reporting bed bugs in their workplace too. They’ve been even discovered recently in places like upscale clothing stores, health clubs, judge’s chambers and movie theaters.
The number of calls to the city’s hot-line shot up 33% last year. The city recently provided $500,000 in anti-bed bug funds and is considering naming a special bed bug “czar” to combat this modern-day plague.
Part of the reason for the rapid spread of bed bugs in New York, and everywhere, is that these bugs can easily “hitchhike”on people’s clothes, in gym bags, pocketbooks, etc., without a person knowing they are there.
Often the first indications of an infestation are welts or bite marks, but about 20% of us don’t show a reactionto bed bug bites.
Bed bug control is time-consuming and requires a thorough knowledge of these pests, as well as the proper materials to control them. Some people have tried to control bed bugs themselves, but this rarely works.
Don’t wait while the bugs spread to other rooms and your friends – call us to do it right.
