Bed bugs
According to The Bugo, bed bugs live in houses and apartments, hotels, movie theaters, recreational vehicles (RVs), nursing homes, student accommodations and offices. They are great hitchhikers and are well known to travel in suitcases or clothes. Recent studies have shown a global increase in bed bugs and have attributed it to the rise in international travel and an increased resistance to pesticides.
Bed bug bites can turn into itchy red bumps and rashes that last for days; some people may have allergic reactions or develop secondary skin infections from scratching the bites. They may also cause psychological manifestations such as insomnia or sleeplessness, anxiety or increased nervousness.
The Bugo Tape (new)
For beds or other furniture with no legs, the company has now developed The Bugo Tape. Each packet of the new tape will be available in rolls of 10 m / 32.8 ft., which is enough for one application around a king-size bed. Like the original Bugo Discs, it will act as a barrier against bed bugs and as a detector to bed bug infestations.
