There's a comeback happening across the nation and it's not the good kind. Read the newspaper. Go online. You'll see what this resurgence is all about - bed bugs. The old standby treatments aren't cutting it any more. New Jersey pest control company Ross Environmental Solutions is using cutting-edge ways to stop this invasion from spreading any more than it already has. But before we talk about ways on how to kill bed bugs, we must first learn all about them.

What do bed bugs look like? Bed Bugs are small, about the size of a seed from an apple. They are blood suckers who feast on human blood, particularly the blood of sleeping people. They spread easily because they are difficult to detect. In fact, only about half of all people react to bed bug bites. Sometimes all you can do is take a look at bed bug bites pictures and compare them to ones you have in order to see if you've been bitten.

Ross Environmental Solutions is exploring the new treatment option of detecting bed bugs and stomping them out with the help of Super-Sniff, a bedbug sniffing Dog Company.

They are often found in box springs, mattresses, baseboards, floorboards, carpeting, furniture, electrical outlets, and even wallpaper. While they are disgusting insects, they aren't known for carrying diseases. Instead, bed bug bites result in red, itchy welts on the skin. The emotional damage is far worse because many people can't handle knowing they've been attacked in their sleep.

Don't give bed bugs the chance. They can be easily found no matter where they are hiding thanks to their sweet, raspberry-like scent that makes them easily detectable by dogs.

A trained dog can thoroughly check out a room and infestations of bed bugs in just a few minutes, must less time than a pest control expert, who must rely on visual signs, can spend detecting bed bugs. They train dogs to let their handlers know of the presence of the blood-suckers by simply barking or swatting their paws. Typically, small dogs are used in this process because they can get into tight places.

Detecting bed bugs is a business that's booming these days and only stands to grow with every story published in news outlets. Combined with cutting-edge pest control technology, dogs can be your best weapon against the invaders, no matter if you have an infestation in your home, hotel, apartment complex, cruise ships, or your camp.

Before you choose a company to check and kill bed bugs, you should ask the representative several questions, like whether the dog the company uses is certified and can it sniff out bed bug eggs.

Keep in mind that locating bed bugs is only the first step. The extermination is the key to protecting yourself and your loved ones from bed bug bites. The team of Ross Environmental Solutions and Super-Sniff can be your best weapon against little, blood-sucking creatures.
