...Whatcha gonna do when they come for youuuuu???
Ok, I saw something in one of this week's local papers, and I just thought it was too cool NOT to share with you. It starts out asking the question, "How can a dog protect you and your family from bedbugs?" Well, I have a moose of a dog, and he'd probably be willing to let bedbugs share the bed with him, as long as they just nibble and don't wake him. (Not that anything smaller than a Mack TRUCK would wake him...)
Now bed bugs WERE a thing of the past, back to the 40's and 50's. My mom told me stories years ago that the neighbors had to blowtorch the bedframes to kill them. And given what we know about how they can infest the woodwork, well, I dunno. But regardless, THEY'RE BAAAAAAAAAAACK.....
This article was a real eye opener. You can bring bedbugs home from ANYWHERE, hotels, gyms, schools, movie theaters, even the homes we show. They act like a flea, and a roach at the same time. They hide all day in clusters, in small dark cracks and crevices, so you won't see them. They come out at nite to play, errrr, I mean eat. Literally, while you're asleep, they feed on your blood. According to the article, 70% of people that get bitten have no marks or reactions, so you can go months without knowing they're there, by which time you have a full blown infestation, into the thousands. (Brings a whole new meaning to the term "bite me....") Like roaches, they will go into alarm clocks, electrical outlets, etc., to stay hidden until it's too late.
So here's the deal. This company, "Sleep Tight Inspections LLC" (remember? sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite???) has trained bed bug dogs to do canine bed bug inspections. Why use dogs instead of humans? Well, humans can miss them. And, a human inspection can take 30 minutes or more. AND they may not see them until the problem is full blown. A bed bug dog will find them within less than 5 minutes. The dogs have a 95-98% accuracy rate. They can find precisely where they are to make target treatment easier. Thus, after treatment is completed, the dog can ensure that all bugs have been eliminated. Now THAT, my friends, is Man's Best Friend! Anyway, I just think this company deserves mention. Their website is http://www.sleeptightinspections.com. They can be reached at (732)701-3324, or toll free (877)843-3558. Check them out, they even have 24 hour emergency service. (!!!) Not sure how many locations they may have, but you never know....
