You may think that cold temperatures are enough to stave off the threat of\u00a0bed bugs<\/a> during the winter months. The fact is that these pests can invade a household at any time of the year.<\/p>\n

Exposing bed bugs to freezing temperatures has long been one of the conventional methods of eliminating them. However, NBC News Science<\/a> recently reported on a study showing that they’re more resistant to cold than was once believed.<\/p>\n

Researchers discovered that bed bugs actually have a fairly high tolerance to cold thanks to their ability to adopt “freeze-intolerant” strategies. These involve lowering the freezing point of their bodily fluids to compensate for the colder\u00a0temperatures. Some of the bugs tested were even able to survive short periods of sub-zero temperatures. It took nearly four days of exposure to a constant temperature of\u00a03.2 degree Fahrenheit to kill off all the specimens.<\/p>\n

Once bed bugs make their way into your home, their minute size and tough exoskeletons make them hard to control<\/a>. Since they’re nocturnal, the\u00a0mere presence of bed bugs\u00a0can cause insomnia and lack of sleep above and beyond any effects from their bites. They can also create a cleanliness hazard from their shed skin, eggs and excrement.<\/p>\n
