PROTECTING YOUR HOME AND FAMILY FROM BEDBUGS

Bedbugs are becoming a significant problem in this country and around the world. They are easily spread and difficult to treat resulting in a rapid growth in the number of bedbug outbreaks. The key to beating this problem is to raise awareness of what to look for and to ensure bedbugs are dealt with quickly once discovered.

THE IMPACT OF BEDBUGS

Bedbugs feed on the blood of humans and other mammals. While it is possible for bedbugs to transmit disease, in this country it is very rare. Instead, the primary concern is the irritation and distress caused by bedbug bites.
Bedbug bites do not hurt. It is the itchiness that results from the body’s reaction to them that causes discomfort.
Treating the bites soothes the irritation, but it can still be very distressing when there are multiple bites as is often the case with bedbugs.
Multiple bites and contact with bedbugs can also lead to an itchy rash or eczema. Consult a pharmacist for advice and treatment if this occurs.

IDENTIFYING BEDBUGS

Bedbug
Adult bedbugs are 5mm long. Before feeding they are a flattened oval shape and light brown, but become rounder and darker after feeding.
They come out at night and are attracted to the warmth of our bodies and carbon dioxide in our breath. They are usually found in bedrooms but hide in cracks and crevices during the day.
