If taking a vacation this spring or summer, you should be aware of the exponential increase of bed bug infestations that are plaguing hotels, motels, and hostels. Cities throughout the State of Florida have had reported cases of bed bugs rise to epidemic proportions. Due to heavy foot traffic in hotels, motels, and hostels, these places have become havens for bed bugs, as travelers serve as vehicles for these pests to spread.
The common bed bug, is oval shaped, light brown to reddish in color, and 5-7 mm long. They are nocturnal, can see in infrared, and are attracted to the carbon dioxide people expel by breathing deeply when they sleep.
It is not your breath that they are after though, but your blood. Much like mosquitos, these bugs have anticoagulants and anesthetics in their saliva, so most people don't feel that they are being bitten.
Bed bug bites can be horrific. Though some people are not adversely affected by the bites, most people claim that they are extremely itchy and annoying, especially if they have been bitten dozens of times throughout the night. It would be bad enough to suffer through the bites that bed bugs leave when you wake up in the morning in your hotel room, but even worse if they spread to your home by hitching a ride on your clothing or in your luggage.
