Parents have been telling their children to sleep tight and “don’t let the bedbugs bite” for years, and until the last few decades, children could sleep soundly, as bed bug populations were not an issue in the United States. Jeffrey Ritchey, director of environmental health at the Wyandot County Health District explained that bedbugs were almost completely eradicated in the United States thanks to the chemical DDT. However, use of DDT was discontinued after it was found to also have harmful effects on wildlife and the environment. With increased tourism to countries where bedbugs were not, for the most part, eradicated, the tiny bloodsucking bugs that creep and crawl at night made their way back to the United States in the late 1990s, he said.
