Midmos Solutions Offers Tips on Managing Bed Bug Problems, and a Product Solution for Monitoring Bed Bug Activity

Tropical Bed bug life cycle

(PRWEB) May 16, 2011

Over the last few years, bed bugs have become a media subject of epic proportion – with many column inches regularly dedicated to the subject. The pest is not a new one – in fact it has been around for thousands of years – however not enough is known about its’ biology and behavior, resulting in a lack of consistent success in the management of bed bug infestations.

As the problem continues to grow more attention is being given to the subject and this week (12th May 2011) has seen new research being released by the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The organization published results of a peer reviewed paper suggesting that bed bugs may be capable of playing a role in disease transmission – something that has traditionally been dismissed. The study, undertaken on a relatively small scale provides evidence of the ability of bed bugs to carry bacteria such as MRSA, and even though the report states a clear need for additional research, it speculates that due to the fact that bed bugs bite or feed on humans there is a potential for transmission of bacteria during this feeding process.

Why do bed bugs bite? Bed bugs go through a series of lifecycle stages from egg, through five stages of nymph before becoming an adult (see right). In order to reach the next stage of their lifecycle, bed bugs must take a blood meal – unfortunately, even though they are known to feed on other mammals, they do also like to feed on human blood. Whilst studies show that many people do not react to bed bug bites , many people do suffer physical reactions to the bites that often then lead to subsequent social and psychological problems, ranging from lack of sleep through to the loss of a job or relationship. It is unclear whether it will be proved in future research that bed bugs can pass disease or bacteria between human hosts or not. What is clear is that the bed bug is a difficult pest to deal with and it is essential that the level of knowledge about bed bugs is increased if we are to start to be effective in tackling the problem.

Although much has been said about the complicated and costly process of exterminating bed bugs, not enough attention has been given to the fact that if their presence is detected soon after entering a space, bed bugs can be removed before they have a chance to feed, breed and infest. The bed bug population growth model created by bed bug experts at MidMos Solutions – which can be seen at http://www.bbpopulationdynamics.com– highlights the fact that if bed bug infestations can be identified before the 90 day marker, the numbers of bed bugs and chance of success in dealing with them is much higher. The BB ALERT® monitoring and early detection system, by MidMos Solutions, is designed to identify bed bug infestations at an early stage before their populations grow out of control. These easy to use, chemical free products also help business owners avoid the potentially disastrous experience of giving bed bugs to clients and guests.

“It’s hard to imagine that anyone can afford not to use early detection,” said Jonathan Kitto of MidMos Solutions. “In multi-unit buildings, monitoring tools can prevent bed bugs from spreading from one apartment to another. In hotels when detected early, bed bugs can be dealt with effectively, at lower cost and before customers get bites and decide to sue, and before rooms have to be closed for weeks for chemical treatments”.

Whatever the outcome of further research into the ability of bed bugs to vector disease, it is clear that early detection of an infestation and quick appropriate action is essential.

Termite identification is the most important step towards fighting these termites. Only if you are able to identify them will you be able to know if your house is infested with these pests. There is a misconception about the fact that these termites look like ants. But the first main difference is the fact that they differ in their color. Formosan Termites are pale in color. The best time to look for them is the evenings because they generally come out of their colonies only after sunset.

These insects use cooperation among themselves to get hold of food supply. Thus they live in colonies with both male and females alike. Each colony consists of the reproductive, the soldiers, workers and nymphs which are young ones. Termite identification becomes easier with the knowledge of how they live.

Under termite identification you need to know that there are two important types of termites that are present and they are the dry wood termites and the subterranean termites. Dry wood termites can be identified by their difference in color as they look red with black or dark brown wings. These are usually confused with the carpenter ant.

Dry wood termites as the name suggests live on wood like dead branches or logs. Once you understand this termite identification step then you can conclude on the best methods to get rod of them. This includes the use of wooden slabs in places where they thrive and these wooden slabs will have chemicals injected into them. This is a kind of bait that you can keep and most of the termites will be killed.

Termite identification steps also involve understanding the behaviour of the queen. The only purpose of the queen is to make the colonies bigger by reproduction. They lay thousands of eggs and live for long. So if you get sight of a queen make sure you destroy it.

8.gregvan.com If your home is suffering from any type of termite damage around your door or doorframe, I recommend that you watch this video to find out if your home is suffering from wood trim that was installed before any concrete porch or sidewalk was poured. It’s not uncommon to run into a situation where a piece of door trim or door casing, ran below the bottom of the threshold, only later to have a concrete porch or sidewalk built, surrounding the stucco molding or door trim. Watch this video to learn more about termite damage and home repairs.

Are you scared stiff if your house is infested with termites? You need to understand that these termites are insects that cause slow destruction to the wood in your house. All the wooden areas will start going hollow once they are infected with termites and the worst part is that you will not even know until great damage is done. It is always better to use termite protection steps in your home and see to it that you are safe and away from termites.

Termite protection of your house starts with preventing these termites to have favourable conditions near your house so that they can thrive. The first step that you need to follow in termite protection is to keep the area surrounding your house clean and clear from wood based commodities like paper, cardboard, wood pieces etc. If you have a ladder then make sure that you do no store it in a manner that it has contacts with your house. These are areas that termites attack for their food supply.

An important termite protection tip is to check and plan your house while you are constructing it. Make sure that the wooden poles and other structures are kept away from the ground so that they do not have direct contact with the earth. If you are planning on wooden fences, then it is necessary that you plan to construct it at a distance and periodic inspections are a must.

All of us love to have a kitchen garden. But make sure that the plants and trees that you plan to have are placed at a safe distance from your house for termite protection, failing which you will surely notice the presence of an entire colony of termites in your garden and affecting your house becomes very easy for them.

The best way to deal with termite protection is to use wood that is borate treated for your house. This will keep away the termites and will not allow them to feed on the wood in your house.
