## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great way to educate yourself about the bed bug threat
*by W***9 on January 29, 2012*

Recently I discovered that I had bed bugs in my home. No way to know how long they have been here, because I didn't have any physical reaction to their bites. Since that happened I have become determined to get on top of this problem and keep it from reoccurring in the future. A professional pest control company has started treatment, and that is good, but I know that it won't be enough. There are so many ways that these little critters can get into your home undetected, that you have to be vigilant about prevention.Yesterday I received a copy of "The Bed Bug Book" in the mail. It is EXCELLENT! The author is a board certified entomologist, and he has done a tremendous public service by putting all this information in one book. He starts out with a fascinating history of human encounters with bed bugs, from ancient times to the present. Then he explains the biology of these creatures, a guide to prevention and treatment, case studies, and what is likely to happen in the future.Be sure to check out the last chapter, "104 Things to Know About Bed Bugs", by Paul J. Bello (pest management consultant). That chapter is PURE GOLD!!! It's worth the purchase price all by itself. And the list of references has several useful websites.If you or somebody you know has discovered bed bugs, or if you want to know how to prevent these parasites from coming into your home, you will do well to buy this excellent (and inexpensive) book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Annoying Humans Since Cave Dwellers
*by L***M on June 22, 2018*

It’s not a subject most people care to talk about, and I suspect author Ralph Maestre’s main readers are those who have suffered through bed bug infestations and want to know more about what he terms “these minute vampires.” There is information about the history of bed bugs and the attempts over centuries to eradicate them. There are photos, and a chapter titled “Over 220 things to Know About Bed Bugs.” Just as a house or apartment can be riddled with bed bugs, the bed bug book is riddled with typos. An example from page 69: “...DNA bed bug swab testing detects the presents of bed bug DNA.” “Presents” should be “presence.” (The only “presents” left behind by bed bugs are itchy bite marks.) Either the author or publisher (Skyhorse) needs to rely less on Spell Check software and hire a copy editor who has at least graduated high school.Another book on the subject, Infested, by Brooke Borel (Chicago University Press), has more detailed research into the science of killing these critters, and even a list of bed bug songs. Maestre is a professional exterminator; Borel comes to the subject as a three-time victim of bed bug infestation, which prompted her far-ranging research. Maestre has some pretty horrifying actual case studies, while Borel reviews an Off-Off-Broadway rock opera titled BEDBUGS!!! Both books are useful, but Borel’s is also entertaining and has an index.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book !
*by J***L on November 2, 2011*

Thanks for putting that book together ! We had some bedbug problems and I was reading up on it everywhere. There is a lot of information everywhere and a lot of them contradict one another. This book is an easy read, but also is very throughout and in detail on history of bedbugs, life cycles, treatment option and prevention. You've got to know your enemy to beat it, right?!It has saved me a lot on money and is a sound investment if you are afraid of- or suspect of having any- or harbor any bedbugs.Thanks Ralph Maestre !!!!
