Bedbugs were at one time a common pest of the slum and other poor properties but were much reduced by higher standards of hygiene and the use of insecticides such as DDT from the 1930s to the 1980s. However, in recent years, there is a resurgence of bed bug infestations globally. While the exact causes remain unclear, increases in international travel, resistance to pesticides, and a greater focus on the control of other pests may have played an active part. Infestations are common in apartment buildings, hotels & motels with rapid turnover of residents. Bed bug fumigation is the best solution for bed bug control.
Adult bedbugs (5mm long) are oval, flattened, red- brown, without wings, and can live several months up to a year without food. Bedbugs are nocturnal insects that feed at night and are not evident in the day, hiding in cracks, crevices, furniture, mattresses, bed frame, bed spring headboards, etc. These harborages are also their breeding places with their eggs cemented to these surfaces, close to where the meal (blood) is.
The male, female, and young nymphs all feed on blood. Responses to their bites vary, ranging from no visible effects to small, hard swelling, prominent wheals with intense itching that last several days for some. Severe infestations and chronic attacks often caused anxiety, stress, and even insomnia in some individuals. Regarded by most with abhorrence but no evidence that bedbug is a carrier of the disease.
A tell-tale sign of bedbug infestation is the unpleasant smell they emit from their stink glands. Another sign is the spots of their faecal deposits.
