Bedbug | Facts & Information

The nasty insect, even more nasty than lice, because it not only sucks the blood out of man, but splashes a juice so stinky that barely washing yourself with soap, you can wipe it off your fingers.

The scientific name of bedbug is: Cimex lectularius.

Feeding Bedbugs

The bedbug feeds during the night. His favorite food is human blood; he does not refuse animal blood either. In hot weather it sucks blood every two days, and when temperatures drop, once a week.

This suctioning process takes 5-10 minutes. The bedbug looks for the surface suitable for blood sucking with the help of the organ located at the end of the suction cup.

It's a dichotomy as greedy as it is resistant. She can sit idle for half a year without dying. It ends up like a stravezian scale, but it still moves. When he came across the prey, the poor man especially, sucks-sucks until it swells like a "cylinder".

Then as slowly as it came, you can barely feel it on your skin, it returns to its place, slowly eating its food. If it seems to him that the road is too long to the bed of the man he senses by the smell of sweat, the bedbug lets go from the bridge or the beam, on the bedspread.

Features Bedbug

Favorite suction places are the ankles, neck and wrist area. Itching appears after a few hours. Its nature obliges her to settle in a certain place, and as long as she has all the conditions necessary for regular nutrition, she will hardly leave the area.

Despite the fact that the bedbug feeds on human blood, this insect does not transmit diseases from person to person. The most common conditions are stress, insomnia and anxiety.

Avoid light. During the day it hides in dark places, protected from wind and noise, such as various cracks, bends, narrow breaks, where the back and belly come into direct contact with the wall of the hide.

The hiding places are very varied. She likes to move in upward directions; therefore, we often find her in the area of photo frames, canopies and chandeliers or in the cracks between the walls.

It also feels very good in the tapestry of the bed or around upholstered furniture, but also between books or clothes. The sensory organs are not well developed. He does not like wet or steamy places.

The first ones are not bedbugs perished, but chitin clothing, left to molt.
