Until recently, there were very few cases of bed bug infestations. Over the past few years however, there have been reports of increasing numbers of bed bugs in many cities including Chicago.
In addition to the home, they are now being found in theatres, stores, hotels, condos, airlines, colleges – and other places where people gather. One reason for their spreading so quickly is that they love to hitch a ride. They can be carried by people from one place to another, totally unknown to the host.
What are bed bugs?Bed Bugs are blood feeding pests that can cause considerable health issues with those that they choose as hosts. These problems can be both physical and emotional. These tiny, almost-invisible, blood-sucking insects are very difficult to spot and can be extremely difficult to eradicate.
Detecting bed bugsEarly detection of bed bug activity is the best way to protect yourself from an introduction of bed bugs turning into a nightmare that is difficult and costly to eliminate.Because bed bugs often go undetected and hide from human eyes, it’s important to know what symptoms to look for.
How can you tell if you have a bed bug infestation?
1 – Bites from bed bugsBite-like marks may appear. If you wake up in the morning with bite-like marks on your body that weren’t there before you went to sleep, that’s a telltale sign. They generally – but not always – look like inflamed, itchy welts, a bit like mosquito bites and often appear in groups.
2 – StainingFecal droppings appearing as dark stains or spots may be found on bedding or furnishings.
3 – Blood spottingUnexplained blood spotting on sheets or carpeting may also indicate the presence of bed bugs.
What to do if you think you may have bed bugs?
If at any time you have reason to believe that you are experiencing a problem with bed bugs it is very important that you act swiftly and contact a pest management professional who specializes in bed bugs. They can offer advice and conduct a thorough inspection and evaluate the situation. Bed bugs are extremely difficult to control especially if they are not caught during the early stages of the infestation.
Exterminating bed bugsThere is a certain amount of uniqueness to every bed bug problem. You need a provider who understands this and who can deal with the problem in a number of ways, for example; dogs that are specially trained to find bed bugs, heat treatments, vacuuming, chemical and non chemical options, and other strategies that can be implemented if needed.
This specialized area of pest control requires the provider to have the knowledge to formulate a program, the proper training for technicians, the commitment to spend the time to treat the issue, and the ability to make adjustments in procedures, not just chemicals, if the normal protocols do not end the situation in a reasonable amount of time.
But not all pest control companies are experienced in exterminating bed bugs effectively.
How to choose a pest control company to eliminate bed bugs permanently…
Here are a few questions you will want to ask before contracting a pest control company to deal with your bed bug problem:
Is the company licensed and insured?What experience do they have treating bed bug infestations?Do they have references and positive reviews?What is their plan of action to handle infestations?
Following the tips above, and asking these questions will help you make sure that you have not only correctly identified the problem, but have also chosen the best way to eliminate bed bugs from your life – permanently.

There were like 2000 Chicago athletes who poured into the stadium, giving the ever-massive San Francisco and California delegations (which were separate, as Chicago was from the embarassingly-tiny Illinois delegation), a run for its money. Major standing ovation (although you’re catching the tail end of that–many sat back down because it was taking FOREVER to get them all out there!).
Several hundred more came in after this photo was taken. You can only see probably about 3/4 of Chicago’s delegation so far here.
Chicago Bedbug Summit-pest Control For Property Managers-freeze
Chicago Bedbug Summit-Pest Control for Property Managers-Freeze Bed Bugs with Cryonite
The Chicago Bed Bug Summit was a great success, raising awareness and providing options for pest control, extermination and the obliteration of bed bugs. We all knew that once bedbugs had invaded the sanctity of Victorias Secret, the evil bugs would need to be exterminated.
Adding insult to injury they also violated the pristine environments of Abercrombie & Fitch and challenged Nike by -just doing it- in their New York store.
America can only take so much of this type of insolence so this week America was exposed a myriad of solutions to annihilating the annoying pests. Bed bug extermination methods use heat trailers to bake them, frying them, chemical pesticides, tracking them down with Scooby the Bedbug sniffing dog and starving them with mattress covers for bed bugs. But, by far, the most interesting method was Cryonite, which turns CO2 gas into a snow that freeze bed bugs.
-Cryonite was developed in Sweden and has been in use in Europe and Australia since 2005,-explained Lorne Chadnick of Restassured dot com, the only licensed Cryonite distributors in North America. Their patented machine takes liquid CO2 and produces tiny snowflakes. Bedbugs have a hard outer skin that is called an exoskeleton and is very much like a space suit, in that it protects the bugs from extreme temperature changes. Therefore Cryonites claim to fame is that it produces two snowflake sizes that are able to penetrate their armor and rapid freeze them from the inside out.
Aside from being effective, the Cryonite process is also one of the most environmentally friendly pest control methods on the market. The snow is made from CO2 gas which is widely used in the creation of soda pop, it does not leave a residue or chemical smell, it does not stain fabric or furniture, it dissipates quickly and it can be safely used around people. If you have ever been to rock concert or the science center where you saw dry ice roll off the stage like fog, then you have seen what Cryonite is made of.
What about the recent EPA/CDC joint statement on the use of Pesticides in bed bug control? Another bonus with using Cryonite is that it is not a restricted substance. There is no licensing required, so for the first time Property Management Companies can take control of their pest management with a highly effective weapon. When you think you may have a bed bug problem, you can attack it immediately without having to call a pest control company, without having to close rooms, without having to wait hours or days, or displace your tenants it is a concept that some Property Managers are having trouble understanding. DDT is gone, wake up, the future is here!
So, the next time that you are drinking a soda at a rock concert, think of Cryonite. More info can be had at restassuredmc.com or by calling Dean toll free at 1 877 411 0053.
http://www.restassuredmc.com/ is the sole supplier of Cryonite in North America. Cryonite can be safely applied in homes, apartments, condominiums, kitchens, hotel rooms, or commercial establishments.
Cryonite is an organic, non-disruptive approach to controlling and managing bug infestations in health-care supplies. It will kill bed bugs, flour beetles, cockroaches and kitchen pests without disturbing your patients, without leaving an odor and without any side effects. The carbon dioxide snow kills bugs through rapid freezing. The Cryonite effect is dependent on snow particle size and speed which combine to overwhelm the bug and flash freeze them from the outside in and from the inside out. Beca
You may have been able “to lose the blues in Chicago” in Sinatra’s day but nowadays you’re just as likely to lose your life.
Our president hails from the Windy City-by way of New York, California, Hawaii, and some still say Kenya-as do many of his top advisers and Chicago is now ruled by the heavy hand of his former Chief of Staff, Rahm “Dead Fish” Emanuel. Coincidentally, neither Obama nor Emanuel is doing very well.
Known for its beef, mobsters, and dead people voting, the Chicago metropolitan area with almost 10 million residents and the city proper with almost 3 million were awarded the dubious title of “Murder Capital of America.” Its murder stats show Chicago triples the rate of New York City and they’re near the top in robberies and aggravated assaults.
As for rapes, no one knows since for some reason Chicago doesn’t keep track of those numbers. Too many to count, maybe, or maybe it’s not worth the bother.
All in all, Chicago isn’t just Sinatra’s “toddling town,” it’s a teetering town.
Interestingly, considering developments in the Big Apple’s Zuccotti Park and across the nation, a mere 10 years ago Barack Obama was busily supporting and addressing Chicago anti-war protests comparable in acrimony if not the unruliness of the Occupy Wall Streeters. Twenty years ago, he would have organized them, according to Stanley Kurtz.
Today, Chicagoland is witnessing a resurgence of similar civil protests which go far beyond the relatively peaceful Occupy Chicago demonstrations. Those protests stand in sharp contrast to their fellows in New York, Portland, and elsewhere where the crazies have taken over and anarchy prevails.
Chicago, on the other hand, is experiencing something almost worse, a breakdown of both civil and moral behavior, a total disregard for common decency, a foreboding of things to come resulting from Mayor Emanuel’s weak-kneed response to violence in his city and his former boss’ endorsement of un-civil OWSers.
Back in April, an elderly man was standing on the platform of the Chicago Avenue Red Line subway station.
As NBCChicago.com commented on a just-released video, “An elderly man in a tan jacket [is seen] wandering around passengers on the CTA platform. . . a group of teens is seen laughing and taunting the older man. A man, dressed in a black vest and hoodie, begins following the older man as the train approaches. The train lets off passengers, and the younger man tries to get the older man’s attention. The two talk briefly before he suddenly punches the older man, knocking him to the ground on his back. The older man’s cap falls off in the blow.”
That senseless assault isn’t the whole story, by any means.
NBC continues, “Some teens in the group laugh and board the train. One of them mimics the punch, and as the train pulls away, a woman is seen checking on the man and calling someone on her phone.”
What the video shows but what NBC doesn’t mention is that both the victim and the assailant were black and that the woman on the platform who went to the victim’s aid was white. After more than six months, the attacker and the old man remain unidentified by Chicago police.
See the full story and sick video. . .
This is not to suggest that only blacks commit mindless, vicious crimes nor that only white people accord succor to crime victims nor that Chicago is Calcutta. The worst offenses aren’t even the assault but the uproarious approbation given the goon who cold-cocked the defenseless victim and NBC.com’s race-neutral description of the scene.
Crime is hardly exclusive to Chicago but taking obvious delight in viciousness is an unsettling negative change in human behavior.
Compounding that negativity is the mainstream media’s refusal to identify the race of those involved, what African-American professor Walter E. Williams characterizes as journalistic malpractice and attributes to elitists, including Barack Obama.
A new CNN poll shows a radical change in the nation’s racial perceptions of the president, despite Obama’s pledge of racial healing in 2008: “White Americans give Obama a thumbs down by a 61%-36% margin, with non-white Americans give [sic] the president a thumbs up by a more than 2-1 margin.”
One incident and one video do not constitute a trend but increasing black violence does. Chicago is merely a microcosm of African-American devolution into violence and insensitivity, a consequence if not the purpose of Obama’s racist politics, hope and change transformed into despair and chaos.(See all sources at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=5977.)
