Know The Enemy!
Bedbugs are small, flat, wingless insects with six legs that, like mosquitoes, feed on blood from animals or people. Bedbugs have microscopic hairs that give them their banded appearance.
They range in color from almost white to brown, but they turn rusty red after feeding. Nymphs (newly hatched bedbugs) are translucent, but they become browner as they reach maturity.
The common bedbug (Cimex lectularius) doesn’t grow much longer than 0.2 inches (0.5 centimeters) and can be seen by the naked eye to the astute observer. This species is best adapted to human environments.
Bedbugs can survive in a wide range of temperatures. However, they do not like high heat. The thermal death point is approximately 113 degrees for bedbugs.
