Historical Perspective ,[object Object],[object Object]

Historical Perspective Bed bugs can be found anywhere they have a host to feed on. They make no discrimination in regard to social standing or status. At one time, bed bugs were primarily found in barracks, camps, jails, rooming houses, homeless shelters, old hotels and other shared sleeping quarters. Today, bed bugs are found in hotels, apartments, schools, private homes, hospitals, trains, planes, buses, cruise ships, theaters, and moving vans.

Treatment of Infestation ,[object Object]

Treatment of Infestation Bed bugs are very sensitive to heat and can be easily killed when exposed to temperature over 100°F (or above 38°C). A bed bug steamer can be used to kill bed bugs and eggs in hard to reach places; steamers can also help clean and sterilize toys, stuffed animals, shoes, luggage or any other items that cannot be easily wash with hot water.
