Nightie-Night, Sleep Tight, Don’t Let The Bed Bugs Bite!
It is official – Type in the terms "bed bug" on Google and you’ll get more than 35 million hits, with 7 of the top 10 results from top medical websites, government health organizations and universities. That’s how you know that the problem has recurred, and this time with a vengeance. For example, in a recently conducted research, it was discovered that 64% of all employees in a building in the United States was found to have been suffering from bed bug bites ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Baumblatt", "given" : "Jane A.

Meanwhile, at least one pest control company claims that the growth of their business is due to the resurgence of bed bugs ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Orkin LLC", "given" : "", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "container-title" : "Market Watch", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2014", "1", "16" ] ] }, "title" : "Chicago Replaces Cincinnati as Orkin\u2019s Number One Bed Bug City", "type" : "article-newspaper" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=9994749f-7658-47d5-b25e-7c6b0e6c98e5" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Orkin LLC)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Orkin LLC). Perhaps the best proof of the resurgence of bed bugs is the 2012 joint statement released by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) which said, "the United States is [now] one of many countries experiencing an alarming resurgence in the population of bed bugs" ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "dropping-particle" : "", "family" : "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention", "given" : "", "non-dropping-particle" : "", "parse-names" : false, "suffix" : "" } ], "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2013" ] ] }, "title" : "Joint Statement on Bed Bug Control in the United States from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)", "type" : "report" }, "uris" : [ "/documents/?uuid=7b2a068a-1ecc-445f-a237-fd670377234a" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Most people think that bed bugs are found only in dirty surroundings, but research shows that hygiene does not matter – if a bed bug happens to ride in your luggage, you can expect to have bed bugs at home.
The population of bed bugs dropped dramatically after World War II, thanks to synthetic, residual pesticides. In fact, bed bugs have become so uncommon it became very difficult to obtain species for medical study ADDIN CSL_CITATION ...
