Bed Bugs: The Taboo Topic That Really Needs to be Addressed
It is embarrassing to talk about having bed bugs, but we must set a new tone. When an infestation of bed bugs is discovered, it is essential to immediately get the word out to any potential hosts for these pests.
The Earlier They Are Detected, The Easier and Faster They Can Be Treated
Early detection is critical for fast and effective intervention. Even a minor bed bug infestation can wreak havoc on a home. Still, if caught early enough - it can be quickly managed without constantly repeating treatments and treatment steps. Plus, it drastically cuts down on who is affected by the infestation because folks can practice safety measures to avoid picking up one of these sneaky hitchhikers and becoming a host to a whole new infestation.
Reporting a Bed Bug Infestation
One of the most frustrating aspects of dealing with an infestation is that often, when they were first discovered - it had gone unreported. There are various reasons why this may occur. Generally, it is to keep people who may have been exposed to bed bugs from panic. However, while that may be based on good intentions, this can cause an infestation to spread to unknowing victims if they are not made aware to look out for them and take the appropriate steps to protect themselves.
