Bed Bugs: What are they and how to treat them?

Bed bugs often go unnoticed until they become a real nightmare. These tiny insects, known scientifically as Cimex lectularius, are adept at hiding in cracks and crevices, and feed on the blood of animals and humans during the night. However, their impact goes beyond annoying bites; they can also pose a serious threat to wood and other objects in the home.

Nature of Bed Bugs:

Bed bugs are nocturnal insects with flat bodies, reddish-brown in color, that can grow to a few millimeters long. They are skilled at hiding in dark and narrow places during the day, such as cracks in furniture, mattresses, baseboards, and behind pictures. During the night, they emerge in search of their meal: blood.

Composition and Reproduction:

Bed bugs go through several stages of development, from eggs to immature nymphs and, finally, adults. Females can lay up to hundreds of eggs in their lifetime. Under optimal conditions of temperature and feeding, they can reproduce rapidly, leading to a severe infestation in a short time.

Conditions for Pest Proliferation:

Bed bugs thrive in warm and dark environments, where they can easily find food sources. Indoor living spaces, especially bedrooms and areas where people spend a lot of time, offer the ideal conditions for their reproduction and survival. The presence of cracks in wood or other materials also provides perfect hiding spots for them to breed.
