Bed Bugs on Memory Foams? Ah, the bed bug problem. It’s a perpetual dilemma. Hence mattress manufacturers continuously come up with all kinds of products to fig...

According to this news story, one of the most bug-infested cities in the country is in Cincinnati, prompting residents and business leaders to campaign for more proactive awareness in the hopes of reducing and fighting off this…sucky problem. For instance, thrift stores have started refusing used mattresses or stuffed furniture and there is always a constant need to spray products for their own safety.

“I spray blankets, all coats, socks, I spray everything.””While many people believe that if your furniture is really infested with bedbugs, the only choice is to throw it out, experts are now saying you may not have to go quite that far, there are some options.”

Dale Grigsby, Cincinnati Health Department: “Mattresses and furniture can be treated, thoroughly vacuumed and steam cleaned. There’s ways to do this, so arbitrarily throwing out your furniture is not a wise practice.”

But real precautions need to be used when you’re travelling.

“Personally what I do, I take the sheets off the bed, look at the seams around the mattress, the tufts around the mattress, see that there’s no bed bug evidence, look behind the headboard, that’s where they hide in cracks and crevices, behind pictures, you don’t want to put your luggage down on the floor, shoes on the floor, keep everything elevated up off the floor.”

Health department officials say some of Cincinnati’s most infested neighborhoods are on the west side of the city.
