Bed bugs have not been found to transmit any diseases, in marked contrast to many other blood-feeding pests, such as mosquitoes, fleas and ticks.
The bite is painless to most people, but bites can lead to allergic reactions. People vary greatly in their reactions to bites; some develop dark red wheals while others show no reaction. Individuals who do not respond to bites initially, can become sensitized from repeated bites and subsequently develop dramatic reactions from later bites.
People who realize that their homes are infested, or have suffered a sleepless night at an infested hotel, or whose children bring bed bugs back from college, are faced with a problem which is very hard to solve. Bed bug sufferers should seek the services of a pest management company experienced in controlling this pest.
