New York City has long been considered the “Capitol” of bed bug infestations of the United States since the resurgence of the bloodsuckers began about five years ago. A survey of New York City residents reveals that one out of every fifteen homes has suffered with a NYC bed bug infestation thus far. This week, New York City Council has been hard at work fighting back against the ghoulish nighttime pests.
The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene has created a new online portal that will provide useful information to NYC, NJ, and anyone else who is seeking information about bed bugs, report NJ pest control professionals. The online portal answers these bed bug related questions:
• What are bed bugs?
• How can I tell if I have bed bugs?
• Are bed bugs harmful to my health?
• How can I get rid of bed bugs?
• How can bed bugs be prevented?
In addition, you will find valuable information about bed bug myths, facts, biology, behavior, travel precautions, bed bugs in the workplace, preventing bed bugs in moving and storage facilities, information about how to hire a pest control professional, plus so much more. NJ pest control professionals recommend that you use this online portal to keep informed of current bed bug information.
Following WWII, thanks to the works of the pest control industry, the dreaded bed bug was mostly eradicated from homes within the United States. If you think you have bed bugs in your home or business, it’s important that you call a trusted NJ pest control professional for proper identification of the pest so that proper treatment can be completed.
