Bed Bugs are so-called because they are mainly found in beds. They are located across the world, and they spread quickly. Bed bugs are light brown to reddish-brown, flat, and oval-bodied insects. Adult bed bugs can grow up to 4–5 mm (0.16–0.20 in) long and 1.5–3 mm (0.059–0.118 in) wide. Bed Bugs are not just a significant problem in India but also around the world.
Bed Bugs are everywhere globally – in schools, daycare centers, hospitals, hotels, public transport, and offices.
Bed Bugs can exist singly but tend to collect and form groups once in contact with each other. They are naturally parasitic but spend a tiny fraction of their lifecycles physically attached to hosts. Once a Bed Bugs finishes feeding, it will move to a place close to a known host, generally inside the mattress, in or near beds or couches, luggage, inside of vehicles, within furniture, among bedside clutter—even inside electrical sockets, and nearby laptop computers in groups of adults, juveniles. Bed Bugs also make their nests near animals. They can also survive on domestic cats, dogs, rats, and even bats, though humans are their favorite and preferred host.
Bed Bugs have five stages of being a nymph which is sexually inactive, and after this, becomes an adult that becomes sexually active. It discards its skin from one location to another of being a nymph. Newly hatched larvae are translucent, lighter in color, and become browner as they cross each step and move toward adulthood and maturity. Bed Bugs are usually mistaken for insects like booklice, small cockroaches, or carpet beetles; however, when warm and active, their movements are more like ants, emitting a characteristic odor when crushed. The life span of a bed bug ranges from 4 to 6 months.
Bed bugs multiply so quickly that a few Bed Bugs can turn into an army of more than 13,000 or more Bed Bugs in just six months. It is essential to detect the presence of Bed Bugs to break the life cycle before they become a bigger problem.

Bed Bugs suck blood to survive, and these bites don’t let a person sleep peacefully. As the Bed Bugs bite on the skin very close to the blood vessel, these can be very painful, and secondary infections can erupt, especially in children and the elderly who have a weak immune system. People often also develop allergic reactions and will need medical help for treatment.
