With one of America’s busiest highways routed right through the center of Austin, MN, both insect and human travelers, particularly bed bugs, enjoy easy access to the city. These parasitic pests feed on human blood, leaving behind painful and itchy bite marks. Bed bugs cling to the stitching and zippers in luggage and then hide in the seams of mattresses and on headboards once inside a home. Since they are excellent at staying out of sight, inspection of beds and luggage is an essential part of prevention.
Each year, spring flooding of the Cedar River adds to Austin’s mosquito population. Despite recent attempts to construct levies and dams, the blood-sucking pests are still spreading viruses like West Nile throughout Minnesota. Removing standing water from lawns and other areas of the property is the best way to prevent run-ins with mosquitoes, since all it takes for mosquito larvae to develop is a backed-up rain gutter or a puddle in an old flower pot.
