It was discovered that California\u2019s three most densely populated cities also made it to the top 50-bed bug cities in America with Los Angeles, San Francisco and Oakland all ranking in the top ten. And you know what the scary thing about this is? The number of bed bug infestations in America are still on the rise! Dr. Dong Hwan Choe is an assistant professor of entomology at UC Riverside and his most recent study from 2014 discovered that 40% of all tenants and homeowners in California have had to <a href=\"https:\/\/takecaretermite.com\/blog\/bed-bugs-in-your-home-here-is-how-to-deal-with-this-problem-right-now\/\">deal with bed bugs<\/a> at some point. <\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #ffffff;color:#ffffff\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #ffffff;color:#ffffff\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/cnsfly.com\/takecaretermite\/blog\/seasonal-trends-of-bed-bugs-you-should-be-aware-of\/#The_Seasonal_Trend_of_Bed_Bugs_Across_the_Country\" >The Seasonal Trend of Bed Bugs Across the Country<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/cnsfly.com\/takecaretermite\/blog\/seasonal-trends-of-bed-bugs-you-should-be-aware-of\/#Research_Shows_that_Bed_Bug_Reproduction_and_Infestation_is_Higher_During_the_Warmer_Months\" >Research Shows that Bed Bug Reproduction and Infestation is Higher During the Warmer Months<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/cnsfly.com\/takecaretermite\/blog\/seasonal-trends-of-bed-bugs-you-should-be-aware-of\/#Here_are_some_signs_of_bed_bugs_that_you_should_be_aware_of\" >Here are some signs of bed bugs that you should be aware of:<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/cnsfly.com\/takecaretermite\/blog\/seasonal-trends-of-bed-bugs-you-should-be-aware-of\/#Dealing_with_Bed_Bugs\" >Dealing with Bed Bugs?<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #526bbb; line-height: 1.4em; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 32px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Seasonal_Trend_of_Bed_Bugs_Across_the_Country\"><\/span>The Seasonal Trend of Bed Bugs Across the Country<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px !important; font-size: 17px; color: #7d7d7d;\">Bed bugs are generally considered an all year pest and but it has been observed by professionals that bed bug activity increases a lot during the warmer summer months. In the past couple of years, the summer months have come to be known as \u201cthe bed bug season\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px !important; font-size: 17px; color: #7d7d7d;\">It has been suggested that warmer temperatures, more movement and travel of people affect the rate of bed bug activity during the summer months. Unfortunately, California may still continue to see a rise in the overall bed bug activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #526bbb; line-height: 1.4em; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 32px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Research_Shows_that_Bed_Bug_Reproduction_and_Infestation_is_Higher_During_the_Warmer_Months\"><\/span>Research Shows that Bed Bug Reproduction and Infestation is Higher During the Warmer Months<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px !important; font-size: 17px; color: #7d7d7d;\">It has been discovered that bed bugs have different levels of mobility according to the season which also influences how their population size tends to fluctuate during the course of the year. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px !important; font-size: 17px; color: #7d7d7d;\">A study by C.G Johnson in 1941 demonstrated that bed bugs could go from eggs to adults within 60 days at a temperature of 64 degrees Fahrenheit whereas they could complete the same feat within only 14 days at 82 degrees Fahrenheit! This difference of 8 degrees has a huge impact on bed bugs as they not only reproduce faster in warmer temperatures but they also tend to move and spread a lot more rapidly as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px !important; font-size: 17px; color: #7d7d7d;\">Warm weather has been known to be the ideal cause of migration to other homes and breeding.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"color: #526bbb; line-height: 1.4em; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 32px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Here_are_some_signs_of_bed_bugs_that_you_should_be_aware_of\"><\/span>Here are some signs of bed bugs that you should be aware of:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul class=\"list-item\">\n<li style=\"padding-bottom: 12px;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find yourself with itchy red bumps on your skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you find shed their skins which is light brown in color<\/span><\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"color: #526bbb; line-height: 1.4em; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 32px;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dealing_with_Bed_Bugs\"><\/span>Dealing with Bed Bugs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; line-height: 26px !important; font-size: 17px; color: #7d7d7d;\">So how to find and get rid of bed bugs?
