This time, however, it\u2019s not mosquitoes to blame, but another blood-sucking parasite\u2014the bed bug. This tiny insect, measuring up to 5 millimeters, has plagued many a household. It\u2019s not exactlyeasy to tell that they\u2019ve just moved in. You and your doctor might easily mistake the bumps for hives. Plus, this small, flat bug is only active at night. Early detection is the key to success. The bites themselves can be a clue. Bed bugs tend to bite in several spots close together. Do you have three or more bites in a small area of skin? Look under the mattress or behind the bed. If you find a cluster of black dots in one of these places\u2014which are bed bug droppings\u2014you\u2019ve got a problem on your hands. Getting rid of this parasite is often a nearly impossible task.\u00a0You can\u2019t understand how they could have gotten there when you take such good care of your home. But bed bugs aren\u2019t just a problem for people who can\u2019t keep their homes clean. All it takes is for a single egg to make its way into your home.Here are a few scenarios of how these blood-sucking parasites might have found their way to you:\t\tYou brought them home in your suitcase from vacation (not just abroad, but also within the Czech Republic).\t\tYou brought them home on your clothes from a bus or tram.\t\tYou bought secondhand furniture, toys, or clothing.\t\tThey got to you from your neighbors via the risers or a window.\t\tYou visited a movie theater or a theater.\t\tChildren can bring them home from school from their classmates.\u00a0Have you found signs of bed bugs? Don\u2019t panic. While it\u2019s true that bed bugs are hard to get rid of, all is not lost. Especially if you\u2019ve spotted these uninvited guests early and follow the advice below, you\u2019ll definitely get rid of them soon.\u00a0How to deal with the pests:\t\tDon\u2019t try to get rid of them on your own. Call a professional pest control company. They are immune to over-the-counter sprays. At best, these will only cause them to move to other areas.\t\tIf you live in an apartment, you must set aside your embarrassment and inform your neighbors. It\u2019s necessary for the experts to inspect their homes as well. It\u2019s possible that the beetles are there too and could spread throughout the entire building.\t\tOne visit from the experts will likely not be enough. They tend to choose hard-to-reach places as their hiding spots\u2014cracks, upholstery, and behind pictures.\t\tWash laundry from an infested household at a minimum of 60 degrees.\t\tIt\u2019s best to politely decline all visitors.
