The common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) is an insect that has various stages inits life cycle: eggs, five juvenile or nymphal stages, and adult males and females. All stages feed on blood but they are not known to transmit any pathogens that cause diseases. Once an infestation is established, bed bugs can be found anywhere in a room; not just on the bed. They dont jump or fly but move around by crawling.
Bed bugs have a long history with humans and are found worldwide. Bed bugs were eradicated in the US after World War II, but since the mid-1990s, bed bugs have made a comeback due to many reasons including increased international and domestic travel and the used-furniture trade.
According to Cornell University, the best strategy to deal with bed bugs is integrated pest management (IPM), which combines a variety of practical or non-chemical techniques (e.g. vacuuming, removing clutter, steam) and chemical products that pose the lowest risk to human health and to the environment.
