What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs belong to the class Insecta, order Hemiptera, family Bugidae, and genus Bedbug. They are a group of medically important insects in the order Hemiptera. According to reports, there are about 75 species in the world, but most of them are parasitic on bats and birds, and there are fewer species related to humans. They have odor glands and their secretions have a special smell, so they are also called bed bugs.

Bed bugs hide in crevices of beds and in other furniture; they also like to hide behind wainscoting or under loose wallpaper. They can survive for up to a year even without any food. Bed bugs can be introduced into a house from old beds or furniture, or from personal belongings. After invading a house, bed bugs can spread from room to room.

If there are bedbugs on the wall, it is best to place the bed where the bed board is in contact with the wall. This will help the bedbugs crawl back and forth to contact the medicine and improve the insecticidal effect. This method does not require any equipment, is simple to make, easy to use, easy to carry, and has certain killing and repelling effects on other reptile sanitary pests.
