TBOU: Bed Bugs Are Driving People Crazy

(Newswire.net — December 23, 2015) Houston, TEXAS — Texas Bugs-Or-Us, a family owned and operated residential and commercial pest control company, has announced it is standing by to quickly eliminate any bed bug problem. In light of recent reports of people responding in some cases violently to infestations, the company is reiterating its stance on bed bugs and its heat treatment service and direct-fired heating system. Heat treatment avoids having to use toxic, environmentally harmful pesticides or having chemical residue inside the home.

Bed bugs have plagued every corner of the U.S. In Minneapolis, according to TwinCities.com, a man is reported to have killed his mother when he found bed bugs in their apartment in December. He now faces murder charges for slaying the 89 year old. According to police, the man intended to help clean, but went into a rage when he saw the bed bugs and could not get rid of them. He also feared the landlord would not renew his lease.

A survey by Pest Control Technology found that travelers are having extreme reactions to the sight of bed bugs. About 60% of respondents said they’d switch hotels, or demand a refund, while seeming more restrained regarding other types of room deficiencies. The survey found business travelers were more familiar with the idea of bed bugs and were more tolerant. Leisure travelers were much more likely to react more assertively.

Calvin Thigpen of Texas Bugs-Or-Us said, “The bed bug problems across this country have not gotten any better. We need effective means to fight them, which our company has, and to educate the public. I urge people not to overreact but be proactive. Our bed bug treatment services are effective and our exterminators have a great deal of experience and training in this field.”
