Bedbug Infestations

Hi:I'm Boruch Fishman, and welcome to another episode of Close-Up. Today I will be offering you some academic information about bedbugs, provided by Harvard University. Bedbugs , as you may know, have recently made a come-back. There is a modern resurgence in bedbug infestations, believed to be due to modern restrictions on the use of powerful insecticides , such as DDT, increased travel and the rise in urban congestion.

An unfed bed bug is between 1/4 and 3/8 inches long, and extremely thin. It is so thin it can fit into the head of a screw, or hang out between pages of a book.
