Bedbugs in bed - what to do?

In the world it is believed that most like to settle bugs in bed, in extreme cases - in sofas and armchairs.

The principle of "hunting" bugs

When the parasites get drunk on blood, bedbugs in the bed( mattresses, sofas, soft chairs) are again hidden and satisfied, where they start the process of assimilation of food and they sleep until the next day of hunting. And this is repeated every day.

In the intervals between sleeping and eating, parasites successfully succeed in laying eggs all in the same beds or in places close to it. For example, bugs in furniture with books or made of porous materials such as chipboard can be perfectly arranged.

Important! Think about it, for a lifetime - and this is about 2 years old, the female bug can postpone up to 500 eggs. It is frightening even to imagine what would happen to the bed if all these eggs were ripe and the bugs that hatched out of them would continue to work on increasing the number of offspring of the pests.

Signs of bedbugs in the bed

The first sign that bed bugs did appear are bites. But do not confuse the bites of bugs with the bites of the same mosquitoes, midges, etc.

Mosquitoes suck blood with the help of a long proboscis, while the bugs have a proboscis several times less. Because of this, they are forced to pierce the skin several times, in order to find the right place.

There are black dots on the bite site. The fact is that during the exhaustion of blood, the parasite simultaneously digests it. That is why at the site of the bite you can see waste of life of the parasite( black dots).

The difference of bites:

1. Mosquitoes bite only in the warm season, namely in the summer. Therefore, if it happens in cold weather, then mosquitoes can be excluded from the list at once.
2. Bedbugs are a blood-sucking species of parasites that do not release substances responsible for blood clotting, as a result, a droplet of dried blood remains on the site of the bug bite.
3. Usually, if there are bedbugs in the bed, then the skin will not have single spots, but the real tracks of bites, since the insect is constantly moving forward for a new portion of food.

Important! In addition to excrement, tracks of bites, there is one more sign that bugs in furniture are got - this is a specific smell in the room remotely resembling the aroma of cognac.
