Sioux Falls Takes Steps to Prevent More Bed Bug Cases, BedBugBully.com Though Suggests to Ditch the Use of Chemicals


Cincinnati, OH (PRWEB) May 17, 2012

Sioux Falls, South Dakota was taking steps to prevent the increase of bed bug cases, a report from argusleader.com said. Officials of the city said that being aggressive in their fight against the pests is the key to preventing more bed bug complaints, added the report. However, to protect the environment and the health of the residents, BedBugBully.com suggested that the city should skip the use of chemicals to prevent and eliminate bed bugs.

According to the report, Sioux Falls only got a minimal bed bug problem. The city has recorded only 20 to 24 bed bug complaints each year as it was detailed. And to prevent that number from going up, actions were taken by the city government, the report said.

Based on the report, one step that the city already took to fight off bed bugs was to spread awareness about the pests from identifying to eliminating them. On May 10, it was said a news conference was held to educate the public. Apart from that, the report added that the city had also been conducting yearly routine lodging inspection to prevent bed bug complaints.

Below is an excerpt of the post Sioux Falls Gets Ahead of Bed Bugs created by BedbugBully.com

A single bed bug infestation can lead to a widespread of the blood-sucking pests. And time and time again, it was proven that they spread quick. Just take, for example, how fast the bed bug epidemic spread in big cities as New York.

Knowing that, officials of Sioux Falls want to get ahead of the pests. Their goal is to not make their bed bug problem escalate to a level the same with big cities. Hence, they are being aggressive with their campaigns against bed bugs. One of the moves that they already took to fight off the pests was holding a news conference to spread awareness to the residents.

Online company BedBugBully.com said that the Sioux Falls’ steps to prevent more bed bug cases are commendable. Nonetheless, officials must consider ditching the use of chemicals, it said.

According to the website, the use of chemicals can harm the health of the residents and can release more pollutants to the environment. Hence, the city should use a safer alternative, it added.

For a safe bed bug prevention and elimination, the site recommended the use Bed Bug Bully. Because it is made from natural ingredients, this bed bug spray poses no risk to health and the environment, said the website. Additionally, as it is pesticide-exempt, it requires no evacuation when used.

In just 48 hours, over 50% of the villas in the project have been sold out. Mr. Shamrez Shaikh, Chief Operations Officer at Shaikh Holdings said: ‘We are very pleased with this achievement. We have been investing in Dubai real estate since 2002 and our research has shown that there is strong end-user demand for quality villa communities. This has led us to conceptualize a niche community experience and develop the concept of resort-style living. The success in sales demonstrates the confidence that buyers have shown in our resort home concept.Â’

The project was well received by both end-users and investors that appreciated the quality of designs and finishes at Sanctuary Falls. Shamrez Shaikh stated: ‘Buyers found it quite refreshing to be able to choose from our gallery of unique architectural styles and interior designs. This ability to customize your home, together with the numerous lifestyle elements that we have provided has made Sanctuary Falls a tremendous success’

Sanctuary Falls has on offer 96 distinctly styled resort homes with traditional, modern and contemporary architecture. Ten floor plan options are available, each with a customized landscaping plan. A number of villa sizes are available which approximately range from 5,600 sq.ft. to 10,600 sq.ft., with prices ranging from AED 7.3 million to 19.7 million.

Shamrez Shaikh added: ‘The feedback we received from savvy Dubai investors was that Sanctuary Falls is a community that they would not only invest in but would also like to call home. This is quite gratifying as we have designed each home with the end-user in mind, not just as a good investment.’

DSA Architects (DSA) are the award-winning architects of Sanctuary Falls that have designed world-class resorts such as the One & Only Royal Mirage, Madinat Jumeirah, Park Hyatt in Dubai and many others worldwide. 40North are the resort landscape architects that have designed the landscaping plans for each of the villas at Sanctuary Falls. Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), world-renowned interior designers of hotel and resorts, have designed the home interiors at Sanctuary Falls.

Each home at Sanctuary Falls has been designed with an arrival water fountain, resort style swimming pool, childrenÂ’s pool area and fully landscaped gardens. The large swimming pools are detailed with custom water fountains, bench seating, timber bridges and stepping stones over water, to give a true resort atmosphere. The poolside majlis seating area provides a shaded venue for barbeques, while the dining and entertainment terraces have been designed to give ample room for formal outdoor parties.

Although certain resort features are standard with each home, Sanctuary Falls affords homeowners the ability to choose the kind of home they would like to live in. They are able to choose from a variety of views – a cascading waterfall, a lake or a panoramic golf course view. When buyers choose their floor plan they are also able to choose the architectural style they prefer the home to be built in – traditional, modern or contemporary. In addition to this, they are also able to choose from three interior design themes. Each interior design theme allows 2 customized kitchen design options as well. This freedom for each homeowner to add their personal touch is what makes the Sanctuary Falls community unique.

Each home also offers state of the art security and technology systems, and features a custom designed kitchen by Scavolini with appliances. A complete Bang & Olufsen 5.1 channel home theatre package is also provided with each home at Sanctuary Falls. In addition, Quintessentially will provide access to a dedicated concierge for each homeowner. Quintessentially will also dedicate two Quintessentially community representatives, who will devote their time to improving the experience of residents in the Sanctuary Falls community.
