“Bedbugs are spreading on the trains, and aircraft”
“Decontamination of bedbugs is becoming increasingly common on public transport like boats, trains and airplanes, according to saneringsfirman Anticimex.”
“Hotels and apartments remains the worst affected, but saneringsfirman Anticimex notice of an increase of inquiries about cleaning up, including trains and aircraft, reports the P4 Stockholm.”
“A reason to skadedjuret of the spread is that the lice have become resistant to multiple pesticides,” says Anticimex skadedjursexpert Håkan Kjellberg.”
“– the Bug live in very closed societies where the genes spread very fast to the surroundings. The resistance has spread to very many individuals, he says to TT.”
“But there are alternatives to harsh chemicals.”
“– Heating in particular, but also steam and silicon. Also other pesticides that have a more drying effect is good alternative.”
“20 years ago, was the art of the bedbugs who thrive among a people almost extinct. But in pace with the increase in travel and resistance it has spread more and more. This time it’s here to stay, according to Håkan Kjellberg, who at the same time believe that proliferation can be stopped.”
“– The important thing is not to act in panic by to throw out the furniture. Then only increases the spread. I understand that it is disgusting with bedbugs, but they spread no infection and will not chase you.”
“An adult bedbug is 4-5 mm long. It has a broad, oval and flattened body.”
“Its body’s upper surface is covered with short golden yellow hair, which is why it can see the striped out.”
“An empty bedbug is almost transparent, while a bedbug that has sucked blood is light yellow or brown.”
“Character on the vägglusangrepp are blood stains on the bedding, and a distinctive, sweet and strange smell.”
