Bed bugs have no chewing mouth pieces; therefore you cannot use any type of baits which are normally used to control the proliferation of other parasites.
Another uniqueness of bedbugs is that they can live in a dormant state without any feeding for a period of more than a year. It might be the case they exist in an empty house or other building not in use for a long time. As they detect the presence of a live host they become active again, as they can sense the warmth and presence of carbon dioxide which is exhaled by human breathing.
Bed bug bite can cause red, itchy welts or rash on skin. When it comes to the treatment of bed bug bites than, firstly avoid the scratching. If your skin is broken due to scratching, this will allow the infectious bacteria to penetrate into your skin. These bacteria can cause severe skin infection that is because of scratching not because of bed bug bite.

Eggs generally hatch in almost 12 days. Bed bug’s life cycle consists of five stages- from new born nymph to an adult bed bug - which can be differentiated on the basis of its size and formation of exoskeleton. First stage larva is just of 1.5 mm long which gets a size of 4.5 mm after increasing .5 mm in size at every new stage in its life cycle.
