Chicago has claimed the top spot on Orkin’s Top 50 Bed Bug Cities List for the second year in a row, the pest control business said Monday.
Bed bugs are red to dark brown in color, can travel with ease and cling to items such as luggage, purses and other personal belongings.
Known for rapid population grown, the insects can survive for several months while waiting for their next"blood meal," making them more likely to emerge when humans are available, Orkin stated. "Bed bugs are a concern for everyone because they are master hitchhikers, traveling home with people when they likely don’t realize it,” Ben Hottel, an Orkin entomologist, said in a news release. “Their nature of hiding in difficult-to-find cracks and crevices can make them hard to control, which is why involving a trained professional at the sight of an introduction is recommended.”
To prevent bed bugs inside your home, professionals recommend that you specifically check the spots where they hide during the day such as mattress tags and seams, behind baseboards, electrical outlets and picture frames. Also, to make it easier to spot the insects, Orkin advises people to decrease clutter. Furthermore, it's recommended you examine secondhand furniture before bringing it inside your home.
