Bedbug is a common name for a bloodsucking wingless insects. Cimex lectularius, in the family Cimicidae. It is a small, flat and oval bug, reddish brown in colour, with an unpleasant odor. The bedbug infests houses, particularly beds. It often hides during the day and feed at night. Sucking the blood of humans and other mammals, it is both a pest and a carrier of dangerous diseases. Two to four generations breed yearly, depending on the temperature and the food supply. The larvae resemble the adult, and they mature in about 11 weeks. 

In Australia, bed bug infestation is recognised as a huge issue. After the year 1999, there has been a 5000% increase of cases. Moreover, nowadays bed bugs, which commonly infest houses and beds, have also spread in places like shops, planes, public transportation, accommodation, offices, waiting rooms, hospitals, cinemas.

Whilst there’s absolutely no proof to indicate that Bed Bugs transmit infectious disease, life threatening anaphylaxis might happen within a minority of instances where people show signs of serious allergy. Skin rashes and interrupted sleep patterns are a common complaint.

Bed bugs can infest your property for a long time without being noticed or seen, because they hide in dark places, such as deep inside a crevice in the bed frame or box spring, and they come out when we are asleep.
