Garden Help: Don't become the next victim of bedbugs
With all the preparations for the holidays, bedbugs might the last thing on your agenda. However, if you have kids coming home from college or are hosting out-of-town guests, you may get more than you bargained for.
I recently had a scare when my son was traveling with the baseball team and stayed overnight in a hotel. He described insects that resembled ticks on two of his roommates when they woke up the next morning. Collecting the insects would have been helpful so I could have ruled out bedbugs, but what 20-year-old thinks of that? I immediately went into action and proceeded to heat treat everything before his belongings were allowed entry into the house. Folks need to take this seriously. Bedbugs are showing up in area hotels, schools, dormitories, and apartments, so the problem is real. They move around easily on students’ backpacks from their home, to school and then to your home.
So what is a bedbug? Bedbugs are about one-quarter-inch long, are brown and have an oval flattened body. Before feeding, they are clear in color but, after consuming blood, they change to a dark red color. Female bedbugs lay eggs that are 1/25 of an inch long in clusters where adults reside. Eggs hatch in four to 12 days and take 35 to 48 days to mature. For a bedbug to grow, it needs to feed. An adult bedbug, however, can go up to a year without a bloodmeal. In the absence of humans, they may feed on birds and rodents.
