Bed Bug

Primarily residential settings, including mattresses, bedding, bed frames, and furniture in close proximity to human sleeping areas.

Obligate hematophagy; they feed exclusively on the blood of warm-blooded animals, primarily humans.

Nocturnal insects that hide in cracks and crevices during the day and emerge at night to feed. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Risks include itchy skin welts, allergic reactions, insomnia, and psychological distress. While they do not transmit diseases, they are significant domestic pests that are difficult to eradicate.
