Bed Bug Facts
According to the National Pest Management Association, one out of every five Americans has either a bed bug infestation in their home or knows someone who’s battled this pest at home or in a hotel. All 50 U.S. states are currently battling the growing bed bug epidemic. In a 2020 study, three Ohio cities have ranked in the top 10 of 50 bed bug-infested cities in the country, with Columbus ranking at number 5.
What Are Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are wingless insects that feed off of the blood of humans and other mammals. This pest is a rusty brown colored bug, approximately 1/4 inch in length with a flattened oval shape, similar to an apple seed. Bed bugs are found in many common places and are becoming more frequent in shared living spaces like hotels, fabric and are easily carried from location to location. A female bed bug lays an average of five eggs per day, quickly turning a single bug into a bed bug infestation.

Bed Bug Infestations Are A Problem
How Do I Get Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs are “hitchhikers”. They hide in furniture, in cracks and crevices, or on fabrics, and travel from place to place by riding on the clothes or shoes of a carrier, through air vents or pipes, and more. Bed bugs are not a sign of uncleanliness and can be found in many homes, hotels, and apartments.
What Damage Can Bed Bugs Cause?
Although the bite from this pest is painless, the bed bug injects salivary fluid into the skin that may cause irritation, including welts, inflammation, and itching. Additionally, the emotional and mental toll of experiencing a bed bug infestation can be severe and should not be taken lightly. In the NPMA’s Bugs Without Borders survey, professional pest management company respondents reported that 99% of their clients who have noted bed bug symptoms were “upset and concerned.”
How Can I Prevent Beg Bugs?
There’s no true way to prevent getting bed bugs, but there are some good habits you can form to decrease your chances of bringing a bed bug home.
- Inspect hotel beds by removing bedding and looking for signs of bugs or bloodstains.
- Avoid used furniture or clothing.
- Use mattress and box spring covers to prevent a female bed bug from laying eggs in places such as mattress seams and crevices in box springs.
- Inspect clothing and shopping bags from retail stores carefully before bringing them into your home.
- Vacuum suitcases thoroughly when returning to Ohio from vacation to prevent a bed bug infestation.
