The Bed Bug Book

ebook

Bedbugs were believed to have been eradicated in the 1940s and '50s, but after a 1972 ban on the use of DDT, the dreaded insects are now reaching epidemic levels. Recent high profile infestations include the Empire State Building, the New York Public Library, the Times Square AMC Theatre, the Time Warner Center, Fox News, the New York City Department of Health, and the Victoria's Secret and Elle Magazine headquarters. Even the Rtiz isn't safe! Exterminators were unprepared for the resurgence of these tiny pests and the public is now scrambling for information on how bedbugs spread and how to get rid of them. The Bedbug Book has the answers. Based on years of pest control experience, bedbug expert Ralph H. Maestre tells you how to spot bedbugs (they look like poppy seeds), how to identify a bedbug bite (it's not a mosquito bite, sorry!), and most importantly, the steps you must take to rid your home of these pests. Includes handy tips for travelers (hotels are a common hideout for these critters), advice on buying secondhand goods, and the know–how for protecting yourself against future infestations. It also incorporates environmentally friendly methods and solutions.

Remember, bedbugs can affect anyone. But having bedbugs need not be a traumatic experience—spot them early, take action, and get on with your life with the help of The Bedbug Book. This is a must–have handbook for every homeowner, renter, landlord, and traveler.
