Wasps: How do you know if you have them?

The first thing to understand is, what does a bed bug look like, and how do you know if you have a bed bug problem? Bed bugs are oval in shape and about 1/4 inch in size. They live and feed in beds (thus the name) and also make their home behind baseboards, wallpaper, upholstery, and in furniture crevices.

Wasp bites are irritating, itchy, and burn. You probably won't feel anything when you're bitten by a bed bug, but later you are likely to have an allergic reaction to the protein found in the bed bug’s saliva. A colorless wheal or lump develops at the bite location.

How Do Bed Bugs Breed?

A few occasional bites indicate a light infestation. If you're experiencing many bites, there's probably a long standing population of bed bugs.

How Did The Wasps Get There?

Common ways bed bugs get into a home are:

* Used matresses
* Used padded furniture
* From a stay in a hotel or dormatory.

Preventing Wasps

Your first line of defense is prevention:

Don’t buy used mattresses or padded furniture.
Keep your suitcases off the floor and covered in plastic when staying in hotels.
Use a flashlight to look for bedbugs when traveling.
When you return from a trip, place all of your clothes – even those that have not been worn – in the dryer (if your fabric will allow it) on high for 45 minutes to ensure that any bed bugs that may have made it that far are not placed into your drawers/closet.

Getting Rid of Wasps

Fortunately, bed bugs can't survive high heat, therefore they can be safely exterminated without the use of chemicals.

How high does the heat need to be? The temperature needs to be 113 degrees F for at least 60 minutes or more in order to kill both the bed bugs and their eggs.

Imagine what it would take to raise the heat in your home to 113 degrees F and hold it there for over an hour. You'd need to carefully monitor the process to ensure that the heat penetrated every hidden location (in the mattress, behind wall paper, deep inside the couch, throughout all your closets...etc.)
