Bed Bugs Control Of Pests

Ms. Goffio said that the theater sprayed its seats “every few months” for bedbugs, and that the last treatment was recent. “We’re going to keep up with this to make sure we don’t get them,” she said.

Bedbugs (or bed bugs) are small, elusive, parasitic insects of the family Cimicidae. In common use, the term usually refers to one species, Cimex lectularius, that feeds preferentially on human blood; all insects in this family live by feeding exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals. The name 'bed bug' is derived from the insect's preferred habitat of infesting houses and especially beds or other common areas where people may sleep. Bedbugs, though not strictly nocturnal, are mainly active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts.

Most bed bugs feed on their hosts while they are asleep. The host supplies them with blood in a painless way, never knowing it is happening. While feeding they inject a small amount of saliva into the host's skin. The more they feed on one particular host, say a human, over a period of several weeks, the more sensitized that human becomes to their saliva. Until eventually the host develops a mild to intense allergic response.

This is a huge problem if you are fogging in an apartment complex or a hotel, two of the locations where you're most likely to find an infestation. The fear is that you will just cause them to spread to adjacent rooms and actually worsen the infestation. Once the fog wears off, they'll just crawl right back in and now you've got separate infestations in all the nearby rooms as well.
