Fun Facts About Bedbugs

September 4, 2017 by Rama K Leave a Comment

Bedbugs get their name because they are nearly always found in beds, however, they can also be found in places where we spend a lot of time. This includes in airplane seats, inside the couch and even in hotels. They spread very easily from one area to another and as long as they have a human host to feed on, they will continue to survive and breed in whatever piece of furniture they inhabit.

Fun Facts About Bedbugs

Quick Facts About Bedbugs

Bedbugs are normally around 1/4” in size and they are flat and broad in their shape. They turn red after they have fed on blood and they have 6 legs with no wings. They have an antenna to help them to navigate around the furniture they are living in and they are a part of the Arthropoda kingdom. They are part of the Cimicidae family, with the scientific species name of Cimex Lectularius. They feed on the blood of any warm-blooded animal and they normally target humans because they don’t have fur.

Bedbugs Can Live Anywhere

We have discussed above that bedbugs can live in hotels, but they can also take up residence in schools, buses, theatres, stores, trains, hospitals and more. 89% of pest control experts have stated that they have treated bedbugs in family homes. 88% have said that they have exterminated bedbugs in condos, and 67% have experienced them in hotels. What’s even more shocking is that 9% have found them on various methods of transportation and 5% have found them in launderettes.

Bedbugs Are In All 50 States

A lot of people believe that bedbugs are only city dwellers. This isn’t the case at all and they can be found in all 50 states across America. The population of bedbugs is 3 times higher in city/town areas when compared to rural areas, however, this is all down to high traffic and closer living spaces.

Bedbugs Can Survive Months Without Feeding

Bedbugs can go for long periods of time without any food sources. This means that they can live in your suitcase, your bag or your furniture and they can even survive temperatures of over 122 degrees as well. A lot of people believe that they can just leave their infested furniture outside for a month and everything will be fine but this isn’t true at all.

Bedbugs Are Smart

Bedbugs are incredibly elusive. They stay completely out of sight during the day and they also hide in hard-to-get-to places such as the crevices in the mattress, the baseboard, the box spring and more. There have been some instances where they hide behind the wallpaper, and they are drawn out by the carbon dioxide we exhale at night.

So as you can see, bedbugs are incredible creatures but that doesn’t mean that you want them in your home.
