One of the chief threats that are making all New Yorkers lose their sleep are the Bed Bugs – tiny reddish brown bugs that have found their way to high-end hotels, apartments, dormitories and the like.

Locating these tiny monsters is a heavy task as they look like rice specks when not fed. It is only when they feed on human blood that they attain the reddish-brown tinge; but it is too late by then.

To relieve the worried folks from this tensed situation, a new iPhone app – Bed Bug Alert – has been developed by AppsGenius that tracks bed bugs infestations in across ten US cities. This iPhone app enables the people to arrange for precautionary measures beforehand if they happen to visit any of these ten cities.

The Bed Bug Alert app for iPhone compiles information with regards to the pest outbreak and how it has plagued multiple cities in the US. In short, Bed Bug Alert app enables the users to locate the places where the outbreak has recently taken place or reported to have taken place.

Users can enter a specific location on the Bed Bug Alert app and find out if that specific location is infested. Users can submit their own findings of a location on the app if that location is not listed.

The Bed Bug Alert app compiles information based on the bulletins published by media, local health departments in the US and by individuals. The information is hence up-to-date. Also, it is commendable that the app records as many as thousand reports on a daily basis. The individual reports submitted by users are promptly reviewed by the staff of AppsGenius and are authenticated.

Once the information about bedbug outbreaks is compiled, the app with the help of geolocation charts the info. Adam Kotkin, AppsGenius’ CEO, has announced that the Bed Bug Alert app in its next version will color coordinate the sightings time. This will enable the users to know the age of the reports.

According to Adam Kotkin, the Bedbug outbreak has become a nightmare for one and all. This app will help all those who are freaked out with this not-so-easily curable situation. This latest iPhone app will help all those like Adam Kotkin himself who want to rest assured of the bedbug outbreak in a particular place before visiting it.

Users can avail the Bed Bug Alert iPhone app for $2 at App Store.
