Beg bug extermination calls are on the rise and just about anyone can be a victim! The National Pest Management Association (NPMA) reports that member pest control companies who received one or two bed bug calls a year are now reporting one or two each week.
And the infestations are occurring all over the nation, regardless of location, type of dwelling or sanitary conditions. When it comes to finding a place to call home, bed bugs will settle down just about anywhere including multi-family homes, apartments, hotels and even hospitals. When it comes to location, they are spread evenly throughout the U.S — pest control companies can easily find bed bugs in Alexandra, VA as they can in Los Angeles, CA, making the bed bug resurgence a national pest control issue.
While commonly associated with unclean or unsanitary conditions, it is important to clarify that a bed bug infestation can happen anywhere, regardless of how clean a bedroom or living area may be. Once inside a home or hotel room, they can then rapidly travel from room to room, making it all the more difficult to control. Even if you find one bed bug in McLean, Virginia, make sure you contact a pest control professional to handle it for you.
