bed bugs
Bed bugs, also known as bed bugs, are insects that feed mainly on the blood of humans and other animals, that is, warm-blooded organisms, and they are classified in the family Cimicidae, and are characterized by their flat oval shape and dark brown to reddish color. The other characteristic of this insect is that it secretes glands that have a distinctive smell in the place where it is, and bedbugs are external parasites as they feed on the blood of individuals and animals without living inside them.

Bed bugs are known for their nocturnal activity, as they go out to eat their meal, i.e. absorb blood, and then return to their hiding places to digest food, and the digestion process may require several days to complete, and the adult of them may remain for at least a year without feeding, and bed bugs known as bedbugs live in Temperate or tropical regions, there are types of them that live on bats, and there are types that live on swallows and Martins, and some of them live on the bodies of poultry, but this does not prevent them from sticking to the human body and moving with him to his living places, As this insect was able to adapt to the human environment and its living, and it is worth noting that there are only two types of bugs that prefer feeding on human blood, namely Cimex Lectularius and Cimex Hemipterus, and bugs reproduce in large quantities, as the female lays 200 eggs on average during only one reproductive period It can also produce three or more generations in one year.

Bed bugs have been found since antiquity, when archaeologists found a fossilized one of them, they estimated its age at about 3,500 years, and the Egyptians referred to it in ancient Egyptian literature, and bed bugs were eliminated in the fifties of the twentieth century through a large campaign to exterminate Bed bugs, but it reappeared strongly about 15 years ago, and the infections were large and difficult to treat, and 90% of them developed themselves to become highly resistant to many insecticides, especially pyrethroids, and with the study of their reappearance, it was found that there is no relationship between the types of insects Bugs that live in the bodies of bats and humans, but bats live in churches and in many places where the human race also lives, and thus this insect moved to humans and adapted to their environment.

The use of traps that isolate insects from the bed, as bed bugs cannot fly, and therefore it can be trapped and isolated from the bed and prevent it from reaching the host who will feed on his blood. It reaches the top. The upper part of the interior is slippery, meaning that it slips on it easily and therefore cannot reach its destination.

It is worth noting that when using it, the bed must be kept away from the wall a sufficient distance and make sure that the bed cover does not reach the floor.
The use of insulating bed covers, which is based on trapping the insect inside and preventing its entry to the outside, and these covers must remain for at least a year, until all insects die from lack of nutrition, and this method is more economical than changing the bed completely.
