Have bed bugs at home is a sign of uncleanliness. We did find that in the slums.
False and archifaux . These insects feed on blood, not waste. Anyone who has blood in the veins (ie all warm-blooded organisms!), Are likely to be the host of bugs, or to take home. Rich or poor, clean as dirty.
Have a proliferation of bed bugs at home is a sign of uncleanliness.
True and false. bugs adult female can lay up 5 eggs per day and have a reproductive period of several months. They never cease to copulate (more than a hundred times a day!). So they proliferate at an alarming rate. However, the fact of keeping his own dwelling or home (vacuuming frequently and thoroughly, frequently washing linens and clothes) can slow proliferation. Have walls and white sheets can help to better detect them.
Bed bugs can make depression.
True. I even heard an urban legend like what they inject a hormone that promote depression (of course it is false). But this legend has very realistic foundation: the infested states often go through depression.
One of my friends who is a social worker has already received several people in his office that were infested with bedbugs. They suffered emotional distress, sometimes even a slight post-traumatic shock. Often ostracized
(who wants to visit someone who has parasites in it? Not me!), The abject infested feels rejected.
The bed is a sanctuary. And with insects inside, the sanctuary is necessarily violated. It becomes a pile of torture. The infested poor sleep, which helps depression. It takes courage and a good social network.
Bed bugs can fly and jump on people.
False. Do not confuse the bed bug (Cimex lectularius ) with Chip (Pulex irritans ). The cimex can not jump and has no wings that she can not crawl. This is also a good place for you, because you can make your bed it inaccessible.
The bed bug is invisible to the naked eye.
False. Although small, the mature bug is detected. It is a reddish brown when engorged and measuring about 5 mm at its last stage of maturity (see the picture of the enemy at the top of the page). As for the nymph, it measures between 1-3 mm and is translucent, so it is much more difficult (or impossible) to find.
bugs can take on people or their clothing during the day.
True. But from what I've read and heard, it is only seen in cases of infestation out of control. In normal times, bugs remain hidden during the day and you will not go on.
Bedbugs, as its name suggests, are only found in the beds.
False. The Cimex lectularius, commonly called the "bed bug" was so named because it generally sits in the beds (mattress, mattress seams, mattress), but it can be found literally everywhere (hence the difficulty to get rid of them!): behind the tapestry, under baseboards, in furniture wood bedside tables ... even the most unexpected places: under a lamp, a stereo speaker in a nut ...
bugs carry diseases.
False. It was long thought that they could transmit certain types of hepatitis, but this has never been clearly demonstrated.
