Bed Bugs

Hello everyone. You all should see this video about the dangerous bed bugs. And I mean DANGEROUS. Bed bugs are nasty parasites. When your mother tucked you in bed and said, " Don't let the bed bugs bite!" she wasn't joking.



Here are some information about the bed bugs:

Bed bugs can lay between one and five eggs per day with an incubation period of 10 days in warm weather (slightly longer when cool). These newly hatched bed bugs will require five significant blood feedings to reach adult size. They will molt in between feedings by shedding their exoskeleton. One mature they will begin the process of laying new eggs.

You may not realize right away that bed bugs are the source of the annoying sores on your legs when you wake up in the mornings. Bed bugs are attracted by both warmth and the presence of carbon dioxide, which is what we exhale in breathing. The bugs climb up onto your skin and pierce you with two hollow tubes, one of which injects anti-coagulants and anesthetics. The other tube is used to withdraw your blood, feeding for about five minutes before returning to their hiding places.

That's all folks!
Joel.
