What can you do to prevent bed bugs at your home?

Living with bed bugs is notoriously unpleasant. These opportunistic pests hide close to humans to sneak out and draw the blood of the host without them noticing. A bed bug injects saliva to numb the area it bites, so the bitten person does not feel the pain. Some ways that can prevent you from hosting these pests at your home are-

• Inspect second-hand furniture closely for bed bugs before you bring it home.
• Inspect your home regularly for bed bugs.
• Keep your luggage away from your bed after travelling.
• Clean or change your bed sheets regularly to expose a bed bug infestation.
• Remove all clutter from your home.

How do I know that my home is infested with bedbugs?

These signs may help you to find bedbug infestation though these signs may be misunderstood with similar ones of other insects.

1. Bed bug faecal matter leaves stains on the fabric

2. Bed bugs shed skin in moulting and the skins from many bed bugs are evidence of their presence

3. Blood stains from crushed bed bugs that have fed on blood

Bedbugs are more likely to harbour more in or on materials made of wood, paper, or fabric and less in those materials made of metal or plastic. Common hiding places are located within six or fewer feet from where humans sleep or rest.

Places where you can find bed bugs include mattress seams and tufts, wood joints of box springs beneath covers, joints of bed frames, behind headboards, under loose wallpaper, behind picture frames, and inside furniture.

Let’s dive into more facts and trivia about bed bugs!

Bedbugs are small, reddish-brown, and oval-shaped. The nymphs are less than 5 mm long and almost colourless and are extremely difficult to identify.

Bedbugs can produce three or more generations each year. Female bedbugs lay 200-500 eggs over their lifetimes usually two to five eggs per day, on rough surfaces such as wood or paper near their hosts’ sleeping places, resting places, or both.

These pests cover their eggs with a glue-like material and the eggs hatch in 10 to 15 days at room temperature. After hatching, bed bugs’ eggshells frequently remain stuck in their place.

1. The Lifecycle

Bedbugs have five nymphal stages. They need at least one blood meal before moulting to the next stage.

The Bedbug life cycle from an egg to an adult takes about four months, depending on the temperature and availability of blood, and food. Bed bugs grow faster with the rise of temperatures.

Bed bugs can live up to 20 to 400 days without food, depending on the temperature and humidity. Older stages of bed bug nymphs can survive longer without food as compared to the younger ones, and adults can survive without food for more than 400 days in a laboratory at low temperatures. Adult bed bugs may live up to one year or more.

2. What Attracts bed bugs?

Bed bugs are attracted to heat and carbon monoxide from human breath. The senses of the bed bugs help them to find the blood vessels closest to the surface of the skin.

3. How do bed bugs find their way to our homes?

Untidiness and the presence of bed bugs do not correlate. You can find bed bugs in clean hotel beds too as they might have gotten transported with the luggage or bags of travellers.

People may pick up bed bugs in theatres or on buses and trains or by bringing infested clothing, bedding, furniture, and luggage into their homes.
