Bed bugs Tackling a bed-bug problem

Bed bugs and fleas are tiny parasitic insects that feed on blood. The common bedbug (cimex lectularius) is the most infamous species of the family and has a distinct preference for human blood. The name ‘bed bug’ is derived from the insect’s preferred habitat of houses – especially beds or other areas where people sleep. Bed bugs are mainly active at night, but are not exclusively nocturnal, and are capable of feeding on their hosts without even being noticed. Bed-bug bites can cause a number of adverse health effects, including skin rashes, allergies and psychological issues.pest control sharjah bed bugs

FLEAS
Fleas are a nuisance to their hosts, causing an itching sensation which in turn frequently results in the host attempting to remove the pest by biting, pecking, scratching, etc. Fleas are not simply a source of annoyance, however. Some people and animals suffer allergic reactions to flea saliva, resulting in rashes and other skin irritations. Flea bites generally result in the formation of a slightly raised, swollen itching spot with a single puncture point at the centre (not unlike a mosquito bite).

Allowing pets such as cats or dogs to roam freely in your home increases significantly the chances of a flea infestation. Even though you may think you’re taking good care of your pet, fleas have an unerring ability to defeat even the most conscientious pet lover. They can infiltrate your pet’s blood supply, feasting on their good health while your pet effectively wastes away with flea-induced diseases. A flea infestation is a serious issue that demands a rapid response, preferably by means of a fast-acting solution that is not only efficient in eradicating the parasite but is also safe for you and your pet.
