Bed bugs are becoming a serious issue throughout the world. Some main cities that have the worst bed bug problems are Ohio, Chicago, New York, Florida, Washington DC, San Francisco and Baltimore as surveyed by The Daily Beast.

Bed bugs are small, wingless insects that live off biting humans and other mammals. A small bed bug can bring an infestation in your home and can plague even the most hygienic person. Coming into contact with these creatures can allow them to be brought into your home and start the problem. They are becoming more common in hotel rooms, summer camps and cruise ship cabins. The best prevention against bed bugs is checking you and your children's laundry, luggage and clothing after camping; traveling that involves a hotel room stay. These creatures are not easy to kill, but here are some of the best ways to eliminate the tiny critters and have a good night's sleep.

· Vacuum thoroughly and often.
· Keep your bed several inches away from a wall
· Buy a mattress encasement.
· Wash sheets and blankets separately in very hot water.
...
... · Store clothes etc in resealable bags to prevent further infestation.

A bed bug can live for more than a year without feeding, so you have to check your mattresses and linen thoroughly and often if you have reason to think you have bed bugs. Do not depend on seeing bites as a sign of infestation.

If the above remedies do not work then it is time to take help from professional exterminator or Pest-control Company to get rid of bed bugs. While a thorough cleaning is a good way toward removing bed bugs, it is often necessary to also use pesticides to make sure that bugs really do hit the road for good.
