Bed bugs in Women’s Health magazine

by nobugsonme on May 11, 2008 · 2 comments

in Women's Health, bed bugs, bed bugs in the media, bedbugs, biting insects, chiggers, der ticks, fleas, get rid of bed bugs

This brief article from Women’s Health rather glosses over the difficulty of eradicating many bed bug infestations:

. . . recent stats show that ticks and bedbugs have been ramping up their itty-bitty attacks. Luckily, it’s easier than you think to KO the little creeps.

How easy is it to get rid of bed bugs?
Is it possible? yes.
Worth doing? absolutely.
Easier than you think? Maybe not so much.

It was nevertheless good to see bed bugs listed in an article about how to get rid of biting insects such as chiggers, deer ticks, and fleas.

Our number one enemy in the fight against bed bugs is lack of awareness.

wow, maybe we should write women’s magazines and try to get them to publish our articles–”my personal story of bed bugs”

Yes– this is a good idea. Not just in women’s mags either– Bonnie Friedman did one for the NYTimes:
