Another Halloween has come and gone. Fake cobwebs no longer litter the landscape, candy sales are back down to sustainable levels, and all the familiar decorations, costumes, and seasonal films concerning things that go bump in the night have been retired until next October. But, there is one little pesky sect of nightmarish ghouls that know no down time.
We’re talking about bedbugs. As kids many of us thought them to be mythical creatures created by older siblings to keep us on edge after sundown. “Good night. Sleep tight. Don’t let the bedbugs bite,” probably rings an all too familiar bell to all the “youngest-child” readers out there. But these little pests are the real bloodsuckers, and in the more frigid regions such as our beloved New England, Cimex lectularius have a track record that would put even Count Dracula to shame.
So why bring this topic up now? According to the National Pest Management Association bedbugs are once again on the rise. The nocturnal creature continues to capitalize on increases in human travel, hitching rides in cars, suitcases, clothing, and laundry. Bed bugs are expertly elusive and are although they are large enough; they are rarely spotted by the human eye in broad daylight.
Although properly protecting yourself against bed bugs is a personal undertaking, protecting yourself against many of life’s larger potential hazards requires putting your trust in the hands of a professional company.
