Bed bug infestations continue to rise in New York and on Long Island. Just 15 years ago, fewer than 25% of pest professionals had ever treated customers for bed bugs. Now rarely a day goes by that we don’t get at least one call for help getting rid of bed bugs.
Expect a Spike in Bed Bug Infestations
Summer is usually our busiest bed bug season. Though bed bugs themselves aren’t seasonal, the activities of the people they feed on are. Kids coming home from school, visiting friends and summer vacations give bed bugs the lift they need to move from place to place, possibly to settle in your home. According to the joint University of Kentucky-National Pest Management Association 2015 Bugs without Borders Survey, the three leading places where bed bugs are found are apartments/condominiums and single-family homes followed by hotels and motels.
Missy Henricksen, the vice president of public affairs for the National Pest Management Association said, “As summer travelers eagerly visit destinations, new and familiar, it’s important to remind them that the best way to stem the spread of bed bugs is to be vigilant during and after their trip.”
