Hello fellow bloggers! Today I'll be blogging about bed bugs today. The article is featured in the Strait Times, 27 January 2010.
You may not realize right away that bed bugs are the source of the annoying sores on your legs when you wake up in the mornings. Bed bugs are attracted by both warmth and the presence of carbon dioxide, which is what we exhale in breathing. The bugs climb up onto your skin and pierce you with two hollow tubes, one of which injects anti-coagulants and anesthetics. The other tube is used to withdraw your blood, feeding for about five minutes before returning to their hiding places.
According to local pest control firm PestBusters there were close to 250 cases of bed bug infestations treated in 2009. This is becoming a major problem. PestBusters' assistant supervisor, Mohamed Amir Bin Yahya said, 'Nowadays, because of cheaper travel bed bugs are easily transported in. We've even had cases in 5 star hotels and big mansions.'
Now here is the video for you all to enjoy.
