Bedbugs are nocturnal, bloodsucking insects which leave bites that are identified as pronounced red welts. Although their bites are reported to be painless, the marks they leave can be physically and emotionally scarring. Victims of infestations report having lingering fears of going to sleep, or even phobias of the beds themselves.
During the day, bedbugs can be difficult to spot, as they hide in crevasses in the mattress, floor joints, and even picture frames, and do not surface to feed until night time. During their short life spans, an individual bedbug can lay around 400 eggs, enabling them to repopulate and re-infest an area in just three to four months!
Although bedbugs had essentially disappeared from the U.S. since the 1940s, they were still thriving in foreign counties. Increased international travel has succeeded in inadvertently bringing the bugs back into North America, as stowaways in the luggage of travelers. Since DDT, a highly effective, though hazardous pesticide, was banned from use in the 1970s, many less effective pesticides have been tried, including harsh, abrasive, toxic chemicals that can cause as much irritation as the pests themselves!
