For the third year in a row, Chicago ranked No. 1 on Orkin's bed bug cities list. Did your city avoid a ranking?
Bed bugs are typically 3/16 inch long and red to dark brown, according to the Atlanta-based Orkin.
Bed bugs are also known for their rapid population growth, with females depositing one to five eggs a day and up to 200 to 500 eggs in their lifetime. Orkin recommends that homeowners inspect their residences for signs of bed bugs regularly, including mattress tags and seams, and behind baseboards, headboards, electrical outlets, and picture frames.
Individuals should also decrease clutter in the home to make them easier to spot and be sure to examine any secondhand furniture being bringing it inside.People concerned about bed bugs should also be aware of the signs while traveling. Orkin recommends the acronym S.L.E.E.P. when inspecting for pests during a trip:urvey the hotel room for signs of an infestation, including tiny, ink-colored stains on mattress seams, in soft furniture, and behind headboards, Orkin said.
