Follow on Google News | Illinois, One of a Few States with Bedbug LegislationThe building consulting experts at EC2 provide inspection services and testing solutions for the Midwest’s infested properties.
Last year, Chicago was listed as the 5th most bedbug infested city by Terminix. The pest control company based their findings on both call volume of the blood sucking pests and confirmed cases. Just last month, Canadian scientists reported that they had discovered Methicillin- “Bedbugs are from the Cimicidae family of insects,” reported Ed Chambers, President of EC2, a leading building sciences consulting firm based in the greater Chicago area. “They feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, including people, usually while they sleep. Adult bedbugs grow to a size of only 4 to 5 millimeters which makes them difficult to identify. They also have a tolerance for various environmental conditions which makes them difficult to eradicate. Identification techniques in the field have typically relied on visual inspections, and in some cases, through the use of dogs trained to smell their presence. Both of these techniques are prone to false positive and negative conclusions. Fortunately there are also PCR based techniques that identify DNA characteristics from bedbugs. This is one of the most accurate testing techniques and is now available to homeowners and property managers across the Midwest,” he continued.
