| This is the life cycle of a bed bug. |
An ongoing epidemic has been occurring in New York City, due to the bloodsucking bed bug. These reddish-brown bugs can be from one eighth of an inch to one quarter of an inch. They have been causing inconvenience to New Yorkers recently. They have been in many places including the AMC theater in Times Square and the Niketown in Manhattan. They hitch hike on people's bags and clothing. That is how they travel from place to place.

Although bed bugs can be a pain, there are ways to prevent them from coming into your home. One way you can prevent carrying bed bugs into your house is to not leave any bags or luggage on the floor when you travel. Another thing you can do to avoid bed bugs are to wash your clothes in really hot water. Bed bugs like to hide in crevices so be sure to check any crevices for the big, red adults and the small, black eggs. What do you think about about this problem? Well as the saying goes- good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite.
