Are Bedbugs Making a Comeback?

The resurgence of bedbugs is causing concern in Indiana and all over the country. The bedbug is back in a big way, and unfortunately they can be found everywhere, including five star hotels and even in your very own mattress.

There's a home in Indianapolis so infested with this problem that it has become so severe that some are calling it close to an epidemic. Some pest ontrol companies believe the pests are here to stay and can and will be transferred anywhere humans are. Bedbugs are about the size of an apple seed and they are exploding across the country. Hiding in mattresses, bed sheets, couches and even luggage, they have a sole purpose.

Their purpose is that they are predators on mammals and blood feeders. Their prey includes humans, sleeping soundly while the bedbug, travelling through walls and electrical outlets, finds its prey and feeds, gorging on human blood and often leaving bite marks on their victims.

After the war, insecticides came alone and wiped out the bedbug in North America until international travel reintroduced the population, now up by some estimates as much as 400 percent. They're found in apartments, five-star hotels and everywhere in between.
