Why are bed bugs a problem?
Like mosquitos, bed bugs consume blood. They don’t eat anything else. Their bites can be extremely irritating, red, and itchy. Some people have severe allergic reactions resulting from bed bug bites. So, although bed bugs don’t carry diseases, they’re still considered a public health pest. Left untreated, bed bugs are notoriously prolific and they can spread rapidly. Bed bugs are also extremely distressing. It’s not uncommon to experience anxiety, paranoia, stress or even insomnia when dealing with bed bugs.
