Bed Bug Activity Spikes in Summer

-Based pest control company with branches throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions, warns that as temperatures rise this summer so will the level of bed bug activity. Western Pest Services has already seen an increase in bed bug service calls this year.

"Bed bugs are cold-blooded, so warmer temperatures lead to faster development and allow them to lay more eggs," said , travel by hitchhiking on personal belongings and are very good hiders. While a bed bug's life cycle depends upon a myriad of factors, in general, development from egg to adult is completed in about 40-60 days. However, temperatures in the mid-80s can reduce development time to as short as three weeks.

"Combining warm temperatures with summer travel will likely lead to more cases of bed bugs," said Pierce. "Early detection and prevention are the best methods to reduce your risk."

Western Pest Services experts offer six tips to help you stay bed bug free this summer:

Travel is the most common way bed bugs spread. When you travel, inspect your hotel room for bed bugs. Lift up the mattress and look for adult bed bugs, cast skins and any dark spots that come from feces. In addition, bed bugs are often introduced into a residence by guests. Often, without knowing, they will bring bed bugs that were picked up from another infested location into your home. Reduce the amount of clutter in your home. Bed bugs are more likely to develop in hidden, rarely disturbed locations. Frequently wash and heat-dry your bed linens, bed spreads and any clothing that touches the floor. The heat from a dryer on the hot setting will kill bed bugs and is a great tool to reduce bed bugs without using conventional insecticides. Use mattress and box spring encasements. These items will entomb any bed bugs that might be in or on your mattress and box spring. Vacuum weekly and dispose of the vacuum bag after each use. Vacuuming regularly can reduce bed bug populations. Target rugs, floors, under beds, around bed legs, bed frames and all cracks and crevices around the room. Never bring used bedding or furniture into your home. When you purchase new furniture, ask the store to deliver the furniture with the plastic sheeting still intact. Bed bugs can sometimes be introduced from the moving trucks.

The Sleep for Life Mattress Range | Cheap Mattress Reviews

The “Sleep for Life” mattress is an alternative name for the “ Sleep to Live ” mattress range which is made by Kingsdown – one of America’s oldest and most established manufacturers. Unlike Serta or Simmons , Kingsdown is a small, independent company that has always mixed quality craftsmanship with innovation and the Sleep for Life mattresses demonstrate this perfectly.

Sleep for Life is the name of the Kingsdown body diagnostics system that they have developed which allows them to take 18 different measurements from your body, ask a series of questions about how you sleep, then make over 1000 calculations to suggest the perfect mattress for your body. Once this has been determined Kingsdown will then supply a box spring mattress from its Sleep to Live 200, 400, 600 or 800 series to match your needs. So this traditional box-spring mattress manufacturer that has been making mattresses for over a century, is also at the forefront of innovation, using technology to design a mattress that is tailored to your specific body.

The crux of the Sleep for Life philosophy is to address two basic factors that affect a good night’s sleep : providing a mattress that gives correct posture support  and gives ample pressure relief for your unique body.

The 200 Series mattresses include independent sleeping zones for both partners to minimize disturbance between couples when sleeping. They have semi-rigid foundation for correct support and comfort layers that ease the pressure on the body. They come with a 15 year warranty.

The 400 series includes a high end knit-cover that increases breathe-ability and a torsion box spring which is designed as a shock absorber and to assist with pressure relief. This carries a 20-year warranty.

The 600 and 800 series are even higher-end mattresses and carry a lifetime warranty. They include memory foam which responds to the body’s shape and temperature and enhances comfort and pressure relief. Both mattresses use a zoned torsion box spring which helps with lessening pressure.
