The Windy City settled in as the No. 1 city on Orkin's Top 50 Bed Bug Cities List for the third year in a row.
Bedbugs are oval-shaped insects that are about 5 millimeters long as adults. They come out at night and can’t fly, though they can crawl very quickly.According to Orkin, they are known for rapid population growth. Female bedbugs can deposit one to five eggs a day and may lay 200 to 500 eggs in their lifetime. They can survive for several months while waiting for their next blood meal, so they’re likely to emerge when a food source, e.g., humans or animals, become available.
“Bedbugs are extremely resilient, making them difficult to control. As people begin to ramp up their travel plans this year, it’s important they know how to protect themselves through pest identification and proper control,” Ben Hottel, Orkin entomologist said “Contrary to popular belief, bedbugs are visible to the naked eye, but are excellent at hiding.”and other items.
The critters can be brought into the home from places where people are dormant for periods of time, like bus seats, airplanes or theater cushions, etc. They can sneak into your home through purses and luggage as well. Once they are in the home, they can hide in bedroom furniture such as a mattress, box spring and bed frame.
