Peace of mind when vacationing because of the Bed Bug Registry

For vacationers in other nations, bed bugs are always of interest. After getting bitten in a hotel, an angry computer programmer decided to fight back. She come up with Bed Bug Registry. The Bed Bug Registry utilizes user-submitted accounts to map bedbug sightings.

What a bedbug really is

Want to know what a bedbug is? It feeds on blood as a parasite. Most bedbugs are active at night mostly. They are found in upholstered furniture such as beds and couches. Bedbugs that are resistant to normal pesticides have been showing up lately. More bedbugs have come for a reason. The increased international travel is why lots of people think it is. Though bedbugs usually carry a stigma, the truth is that bedbugs can happen just about anywhere, and can be really difficult to get rid of. The natural predators of bedbugs — spiders, ants, cockroaches and centipedes are generally banned from homes.

All about the bedbug registry

The Bedbug registry had been started by computer programmer Maciej Ceglowski. This happened after he was bit by bedbugs in 2006. The site is intended for user-submitted reports of bedbugs. There isn't any kind of verification done by the bedbug registry. That's not what the site is for. The author's report can't be removed without permission if the report meets posting guidelines although any location can dispute a report submitted to the bedbug registry. If a location is reported once and then has no further reports for two years, the location is removed from the bedbug registry.

Get bedbugs from you

Protecting yourself with the Bedbug Registry can be a wise idea when traveling. Make sure you look for patterns since Bedbug Registry reports aren't verified. Bear in mind these views are user-submitted. Some inaccurate ones will show up. Make sure you report any kind of bedbug problem right away. It is really possible the hotel or your host might not know that they have an infestation, and the earlier they’re addressed the more likely they’re to have a chance at beating it.
