overview
A bed bug
Popup dialog
Bed bugs are small, red-brown parasitic insects that bite the exposed skin of sleeping humans and animals in order to feed on their blood. While bed bugs are not known to spread disease, they can cause other public health and economic problems.
- Bed bugs are the size of an apple seed and hide in cracks and crevices in beds, box spring beds, headboards, bed frames, and everything else around a bed. The risk of running into bed bugs increases when you spend time in places with high numbers of late-night guests – such as hotels, hospitals, or shelters for the homeless.
- If you have bed bugs in your home, a professional layoff is recommended.Bedbugs Treatment Hyderabad

prevention
Prevent bites
Since bed bugs don’t tend to burrow under clothing, you can avoid bites by wearing pajamas that cover as much skin as possible.
Insect repellent. Insect repellants to protect against mosquitoes or ticks are not very effective against bed bugs.
Mosquito net. Nets impregnated with the pesticide permethrin can help protect sleepers from bed bug bites. However, this practice can help bedbugs develop resistance to this pesticide.Bedbugs Treatment Hyderabad
