Bed bugs are the talk of the town in recent months, and that town, among others, is Yonkers. As a result of increased travel among Americans, as well as the banning of several pesticides in recent years, bed bugs are on the rise. According to exterminators in Yonkers, New York city isn’t the only area affected in New York. The small, blood-sucking insects feast on human blood and usually hide out under mattresses. Yonkers pest control services say that while the bug is not know to transmit any disease, it does leave an itchy, irritating bite. Experts suggest being extra careful when staying in a hotel or traveling, and checking beds and other furniture for the black stains that the bugs leave behind.
