Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs (Cimex lectularius - AKA Bed Bugs)

Prior to the 1950’s bed bugs were common pests in many households throughout the United States.
DDT arrived in the 1940’s and within a decade most all bed bug populations were eradicated.
In 1972 DDT was found to be dangerous for the environment and wildlife so the EPA cancelled the use of it, Then in 2001 DDT was banned worldwide.
In the late 90’s bed bugs were starting to show up in hotels across the nation.
As the years passed, the numbers of new sightings and severities of bed bug infestations continued to grow exponentially and were found in all 50 states.
Before long they were found in residential homes, apartments and schools, businesses, movie theaters, senior health care facilities, furniture outlets, public transportation of all kinds, emergency vehicles and fire stations, libraries, churches and wherever people socialized or congregated.
