Identifying bed bugs rash and treatment

It is very difficult to identify bed bugs rash and bites. You will not even realize that the bugs have bitten you. It is difficult to examine them because these rashes and bites are visible only after a few days. If the skin is very sensitive then these bites are immediately visible. The rash sometimes can be very painful for the victim. Medication is available for immediate use when you are bitten by bed bugs. If the pain is severe or the rash gets aggravated then an immediate doctor visit is advisable.

While these bugs bite they release saliva onto the body which will not let you feel the pain. They will continue to suck the blood. Once the effect of the saliva is gone in two to three days, the affected area starts itching and paining. This saliva has a special chemical which will make things easy for the bed bug. This itching will then lead to bed bugs rash. These rashes appear as big blotches on the skin. In worst cases, these rashes turn out to become blisters or white raised blotches.

The best home remedy is to apply and not rub a good calamine lotion to get temporary relief from the itching sensation. You can take oral antihistamine to prevent any kind of allergy. Keep the bites open and never scratch them. For severe allergic reactions see a doctor immediately and take proper medication or a course suggested by the practitioner.

Bed bugs are not essentially nocturnal, but studies and records of information on bed bugs show that bed bugs prefer to operate during the night (early hours before dawn) because that is the time when all the humans are asleep and most inactive, so these vile insects can suck out blood without disturbance or fear of discovery.

How to set bed bug traps?

It is now possible to develop a bed bug trap within the convenience of your home. For normal to moderate level of bed bug infestation, these methods can be used to fight the pest before calling in an expert. The first thing to be done when you discover that your mattress or sheets have been infested with bed bugs is to carry them to the Laundromat in a SEALED bag.  We suggest sealing so that you will not leave a trail of bugs in the hall way and all the places that you carry the pile through. Once in the Laundromat, you can dump the whole pile into a machine and run a very hot wash which will kill all the mites and bugs in a few minutes of exposure to the hot water. Carbon Dioxide tanks can also be used along with clothing steamers which are available in malls for such purposes. They can be used for prolonged steaming and after which they can be sterilized until the next wash by drying out the moisture. This step is important because it prevents the germs, bacteria or pests from spreading around the site.

For more serious infestation, the answer is to find a good exterminator and work along with him. The idea would be to first study pest extermination and bed bug trap procedures online and then join forces with the exterminator so that you launch a two pronged attack on the vile bed bug.

Tough Cookies! – Bed bugs freezing

If you have a bed bug infestation at home we can completely understand how much you hate them! These cruel, blood-sucking parasites can make night times very uncomfortable and besides, they leave ugly red bumps on the skin! These disgusting pests must be taught a lesson you think. And we completely agree! Maybe if we do something particularly gruesome to them that’ll help get the message across. We say you go for it!

Do you think bed bugs freezing will do the trick? It does seem wicked enough! Scientifically speaking, just the freezing won’t do the trick. When bed bugs are frozen, the go into a sort of deep sleep state where their rate of body functions is highly reduced. This means they are technically still alive! What you need to do is allow them to freeze completely. This turns all the water content in their bodies into ice. As they defrost, their legs begin to fall off and this when they die.

This also goes a long way to say that just because its winter and the bed bugs activities have become much less pronounced, it doesn’t mean their dead or have been eradicated from your house. They are merely enjoying their long hibernation! Bed bugs freezing will do the trick but it seems to us as fairly pointless and impractical. Of course, if you live in the Antarctica and leave your house open for a bit you’d never need to call an exterminator!
