Reaction to USA Today Report



















In its TravelTips section, USA Today recently published an article titled "How to Check a Room for Bed Bugs". While it was generally well-written, I want to discuss what I believe to be factually inaccurate as well as the main point that is completely missed by this article.

Firstly, the overview states, "You can identify bedbug infestations by noting reactions to bedbug bites." The fact is that sometimes bedbug bites are very noticeable, and sometimes they are not. Bedbug bites often don't show up for weeks or months. The real problem is not only the concern of getting bitten, but of actually bringing them home, where they can also cause an infestation. Use of an early detection product like Catchmaster BBEDS is key.
