The first thought on any of these is EEEEWWW, right? If you said yes, we agree with you 100%! As much as we would all love to believe that we do not have any contact with any of these critters, it is not true by any means, but let us take a moment to understand them a bit more.
Bed bugs are tiny little bugs that typically enjoying nesting in your bed. In 1940, the world had thought they had overcome and rid themselves of bed bugs and they were right. We did not begin to see infestations again until 1995. They can come into your home through pets, second-hand furniture, visitor’s luggage and bodies, wild animals and nearby properties that are infected with them. As tiny as these little critters are, they love to feed on blood which is why they nest in your bed and munch at night.
Fleas are not fun either. They prefer nesting on animals so they have shelter, but flea eggs have the ability to lay dormant on carpets, bedding, or furniture until they find heat sources such as people or animals. Completely developed fleas can live for months without eating blood as long as they remain in their puparia.
There are over 3,000 species of lice, but the main ones we are concerned with are the ones that attach themselves to human hair and body. They prefer to feed on both blood and dead skin and they prefer to be attached directly to us. However, it has been known that lice can survive for a short period of time off of their host. This is why they are so hard to get rid of.
Dust mites are a little friendlier and less dangerous. They are very small and hide everywhere duct work, carpets, beds, and furniture are just a few places. The good news is they really don’t like our blood, they prefer to diet on flakes of dead skin. Many of us do not receive rashes or red spots on our skin, but they are a major cause of allergies and asthma attacks.
All of these tiny bugs pose two problems to. The first is anything that munches on blood has the capability of passing along bacteria and diseases to us and to our pets. Dust mites do not eat blood, but they are a proven source of allergies and asthma attacks. The second is they are hard to get rid of. They all adapt or have the ability to survive in conditions not perfect to them. This is important when you are facing an infestation.
