Where do bed bugs hide in Omaha?

Bed bugs are very adept at hiding to avoid detection. They hide in far more locations than just your mattress. Bed bugs hide in bed frames, dressers, upholstered furniture, along baseboards and behind wall pictures or clocks.

People sometimes discover bed bugs after moving into a residence where bed bugs already exist or after staying at an Omaha-area hotel and carrying the bed bugs home or sustaining bites while staying at the hotel. People sometimes discover bed bugs after delivery of new furniture.

Do bed bugs cause illness or disease?

Some sources incorrectly claim that bed bugs are a “Nuisance” and do not cause illness or disease. However, this is not true.

In 2011, the Oxford University Press published research from Bedbugs and Infectious Diseases. Researchers described “45 candidate pathogens potentially transmitted by bedbugs, according to their vectorial capacity…”

In 2014, Penn Medicine researchers, along with researchers from Peru’s Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, reported that bed bugs have the capability of carrying and transmitting “Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease,” which kills up to 50,000 people annually.

Senior study author Michael Z. Levy, PhD, Assistant professor in the department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology, stated, ““We’ve shown that the bed bug can acquire and transmit the parasite.”

There are other consequences of suffering bed bug infestations. Suffering from bed bug bites or infestations potentially results in mental health issues, as reported in the National Post. A Canadian study concluded that people potentially suffer mental health repercussions because of coming in contact with bed bugs. Dr. Stéphane Perron and colleagues concluded that bed bug victims “Are much more likely than others to suffer anxiety disorder, sleeplessness and possibly depression.”
