History of bed bugs
 We haven’t seen these insects in the U.S. for about 40 years, having been eradicated during World War 2 with the now-outlawed pesticide, DDT. What brought them back?
The simplest explanation is globalization. With more and more of us traveling abroad to regions where bedbugs were never eradicated, more and more of us are likely to bring them back. And worst of all these painful pests are on the rise! Extermination companies say bed bug calls are up 70 percent in the last 2 years.
