"If you are planning to travel during the mid to late summer, and this is a big time of the year to get away I have an uncomfortable problem to bring up, bedbugs.

Bedbugs have become a major problem in the past decade.

It is a problem that travelers heading to hotels worry about and parents of college students hope they aren’t dealing with.

The increase in bedbugs has been attributed to pesticide resistance, more frequent travel, and inadequate pest control programs.

Bedbugs feed just before dawn.

As for recognizing the signs of rash, bedbug bites can be confused with many skin conditions.

This is not a new problem.

Infestations of bedbugs date back to ancient Egypt, today the biggest means of spread are luggage, bedding and furniture."
