What are bed bugs and where do they come from ?

Bed bugs are small, brownish insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals.

They are most active at night and can bite people without them even knowing it. Bed bugs are attracted to warmth and darkness, which is why they often hide in mattresses, bedding, and furniture.

These insects can be found in hotels, schools, retail businesses, and even public benches.

Once you are near them, they hide in your clothing, backpacks, suitcases, and shoes, and can easily travel from one place to another. They are very difficult to get rid of once they have entered a house.

Bed bugs may survive for months without eating and will therefore go undetected until they begin to feed.

What are the risks of having bed bugs ?

Bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, but their bites can be very uncomfortable and cause serious itching.

In some cases, people may have an allergic reaction to the bites.

What's latex mattress and can bed bugs live in latex mattress?

A latex mattress is a mattress made from natural materials, such as latex rubber. Latex mattresses are durable and comfortable, and they are less likely to cause an allergic reaction than other types of mattresses.

Though latex mattresses are anti-dust mites, bed bugs can still live in them. The key is to find a latex mattress with a high density, as bed bugs cannot penetrate it. This means that you are less likely to get a huge infestation of bed bugs inside the mattress.

However, latex mattresses are not immune to bed bugs and can be just as susceptible as any other type of mattress.

Bed bugs also hide in other areas of your bedroom, such as in cracks and crevices in the walls or floor.

• First, make sure to regularly vacuum and dust your furniture and floors. This will help to remove any bed bugs that may be hiding in these areas.
