Every year, utilities, owners of apartments and private houses in Moscow and the Moscow region spend considerable money on getting rid of pests. And every year the amount of costs increases, but the problem is not solved at all. This is due to the special evolutionary defense mechanism that insects have developed. We are talking about tolerance to weak poisons.

If disinfection treatment from bedbugs in Moscow is a matter of municipal government, then the treatment of bedbugs in an apartment is the primary task of any owner. The question is how to carry it out as quickly as possible and at the same time not waste your energy and money in vain?

The right way to fight insects will bring 100% result if you approach the issue wisely. Most people, bypassing the only effective way, give their preference to folk methods that work only if the bugs have populated the area recently and have not yet managed to give offspring. This distrust of the population in specialized organizations is easy to explain. The consumer is often the victim of dishonest companies because he is not aware of how
fight against bugs.

In order to dispel your doubts about the fact that the bug disinfection service is not the only way out of the situation, let's figure out how, with the help of which technologies and means, the professional extermination of bugs is carried out.

Disinfection: how to act before the arrival of a specialist?

Any action should begin with preparation. An exception is not getting rid of biting pests. Preliminary measures are necessary for you to protect personal care products from the settled particles of a chemical substance. As well as specialists who will take your call and go to the rescue at any time of the day or night.

As a rule, you can already find out what needs to be done before the arrival of the pest control station during a call to the sanitary operator.

Here is the most specific list of preliminary steps:

The bug treatment service is obliged to adhere to a specific charter, according to which the disposal of the territory from pests is carried out. It is subject to precautionary measures and regulatory documents on sanitary services.

Disinfection of bugs in the apartment goes through the following stages:

Problem identification and order processing

The bug disinfection service starts working from the first minute of your call. The operator will help you choose an indicative method for removing insects. And will contact the nearest specialist in your area. After that, expect a call from the pest control, who will call to discuss the conditions of the meeting.

Direct disinfection

Getting rid of dangerous neighbors in an apartment is divided into several actions. The first action will be spraying the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the apartment. Then the specialist proceeds to fabric items of interior and furniture. Then it puts the last layer of protection - a barrier with a special tool.

Disinfection: Technology

Disinfection of premises using the latest technology occurs in three scenarios. When the bugs just appeared, a cold fog treatment method is suitable. If intruders did not find themselves immediately, it is recommended to use the technology of hot fog. And in the case when there’s nowhere to get away from bugs, only combined treatment of the apartment from bugs, which includes spraying fog and installing barrier protection, can help.

Cold fog

The meaning of this procedure is that the area is disinfected thanks to a technological generator. The device injects the active composition of room temperature into the air. Settling indoors, the substance chain sends all adults.

Hot fog

This treatment of the apartment with hot fog from bugs also takes place using a special generator. However, with hot spraying, the temperature of the substance rises to 60 ° C, which has a double effect: sends insects with poison and kills with temperature. With this processing method, both adult clones and larvae die.

Ultrasonic device from bugs

Initially, the idea to use sound waves to repel insects came to the mind of scientists when they created means of protection against mosquitoes that emit and perceive high frequencies for the exchange of information. Sounds of a certain range signal to other individuals about the presence of predators.

This method is only a deterrent, I am not a means to kill insects!

• Ultrasound does not affect bug larvae.
• The budget option is not safe for humans and is caught by the ear.

As mentioned above - the device was originally designed to repel mosquitoes, which themselves produce ultrasound with the help of wings and can communicate in this way. It is known that such devices have a good effect on mammals and can affect rodents and dogs.

One of the most common problems in apartments and houses faced by a modern resident of a metropolis is the appearance of insects. Unpretentious in everyday life, they spread with great speed through an apartment building, because all they need for successful colonization is the availability of food and warmth. How to find out if there are bugs in your house?

You can make sure that a colony of unsolicited insects has appeared in your apartment by some indirect signs: the presence of bedbugs in your favorite places of residence and the detection of products of their vital activity. We will deal with everything in order. Remember that bed bugs - feed on blood, therefore, are carriers of many diseases!

External signs of bed bugs in the apartment

Bed bug (Latin Cimex lectularius). A synanthropic insect that has been adjacent to humans for many millennia.

• Body shape.

Bed insects have a characteristic shape: they are flat and round when hungry and lengthen when full. Wings are absent, the body is divided into segments.

• Color.

Light brown color of a hungry bug, and dark brown color of a well-fed individual. In the body of a well-fed specimen, a crimson drop of blood can be seen through the skin.

• Smell.

When the colony in the apartment grows, then it begins to exude a disgusting smell, similar to the smell of fermented fruit. If you smell something like this, they probably have been living in a room for a long time.

• Life products.

• The consequences of the attack.

Scientists have not found any signs that ultrasound affects bugs.

• Stages of development of the bug.

It has 3 stages of development: egg, larva, imago (adult individual). The white egg is 1 mm long; in this stage it is 1-2 weeks. After that, he hatches and becomes a larva. Her growth takes from 6 to 8 weeks. During this time, it increases in size from 1 to 4 mm and changes color from white to brown. An adult reaches 5 to 7 mm in size and has a brown color. The life expectancy of an adult bug can reach 1.5 - 2 years.

• Body size and shape.

An adult bug has an average size of 5 to 7 mm. The hungry individual is almost round and flattened, resembling its wild relatives. A well-fed person lengthens, takes an oblong body shape and more likely resembles a cockroach. On the carapace, distinct segments and a holistic structure are visible.

• Color.

Color changes depending on the degree of satiety. The hungry bug has a light brown color, well-fed - darkens very much, becomes almost black. Sometimes through a translucent body you can see a drop of blood in his stomach.

• Movement.

The bedbug has lost the ability to fly, but it moves relatively quickly (about 1 meter per minute). Help him in this 6 paws. This feature will help you easily distinguish it from a tick that has 2 paws more.

• Wings.

The bug, unlike its wild relatives from the order of half-winged, has no wings at all. They atrophied due to his cave lifestyle. This trait of the insect will help you distinguish it from a cockroach.

Bed bugs are often confused with some other insects. However, they can be easily distinguished by a number of characteristic features:

• They differ from cockroaches by the absence of antennae and characteristic processes at the end of the body.
• Unlike ticks, they have only 6 paws.
• Do not have wings.

Where to look for bugs in the apartment?

If you think that bed or house bugs have settled in your house, then it is necessary to highlight important features of this type:

How to determine what insects wound up?

The bug starts to feed on blood from the moment of hatching. Bites of just young individuals are palpable, since they have not yet developed an anesthetic substance. You can hardly feel the bites of adults. The peculiarity of the bug’s nutrition is that it takes several (5-7) bites at a time and leaves behind it red itchy dots located on the same line (the bug path).

• Bloody stripes on the sheet.

• Unpleasant smell of berries in the apartment.

Bed bugs regularly emit a smell reminiscent of the aroma of fermented berries. If you sensed something like this, then know that your apartment already has a fairly large colony of insects. This situation requires serious intervention.

• Traces of excrement and chitin.

• Typical nesting sites.

First of all, check the space under the mattress. Look under the carpet, behind the baseboard or crevices under the wallpaper. Inspect inaccessible places: voids under the upholstery of furniture, the inside of household appliances, the ventilation system. Bed bugs hide in all these places.

We have listed several indirect signs by which you can identify these insects. If you make sure that your apartment has become their home, then try to start as soon as possible. Contact a professional sanitation service. Experienced specialists will quickly solve your problem in the best way and give a guarantee of the quality of the work performed.
Bedbugs on a human body

The very first sign of the appearance of bloodsuckers is the appearance of bites on the human body. In any case, the insect needs your blood to acquire offspring.

Where are the bugs found?

If you know that the main source of food for bedbugs is human blood, then it will not be surprising that they settle in sofas, under beds and mattresses. The closer to the food source, the less time you need to spend for lunch. After a human bite, it is enough for an insect to crawl into a nook for several days. During this time, they will have time to postpone the offspring, and then again proceed to sorties.

Indeed, bedbugs quite often live in the sofa and under the bed. They are not so finicky in choosing a nesting place, unlike those who will never settle in the immediate vicinity of a person. For bloodsucking insects, this situation is quite beneficial. The structure of the body allows you to live under the mattress - it is flat and not as fragile as a cockroach.

The most common bugs habitats:

• Under the bed or mattress.
• Inside the furniture, under the upholstery.
• Under the carpets, behind the skirting board or wallpaper.
• In the crevices of the walls.
• Inside household appliances.
• In books, shelves.
• In clothes.

Bed bugs can settle even in the most unexpected places, in this they are very inventive. The problem for humans is that in the process of life, insects secrete blood, excrement, discard the old shell of the shell. In search of food, domestic bugs carry out not only ground operations, but also are capable of falling from the ceiling. Because of this skill, they were often endowed with the ability to fly, which is impossible due to the absence of wings of this species.

A characteristic feature of this species is to leave a peculiar path from bites at a time. An adult causes several at once, while descending in a straight line. Thus, if you can see an even line of red dots on your body - this may be a sign of a night visit by a bed bug.

At the site of the bug bites, red spots are observed that itch. Nevertheless, you should not comb these places very much, since the harmless red dot can turn into a wound, and it, in turn, can fester. It is also worth being especially careful if there are small children in the house. Because of the thin skin, they are much more likely to be attacked by bedbugs, and they are much more painful to survive!

Are the bugs afraid of frost?

For all people who decide to process the room from bedbugs, the question arises: are they afraid of the cold? These insects are dangerous to humans, the bites of which cause discomfort, but also are carriers of infectious diseases.

Bug out bugs with low temperatures

Experts have found that small pests are very sensitive to temperature extremes. Thus, in the winter season, you can get rid of insects by taking infected things to the street - bedding, clothes and other textiles. But the air temperature in this case should not be higher than -18. In the summer there is the possibility of putting things in the freezer for several days. Such a manipulation will also kill adults. When freezing bugs in the apartment there is a risk of damage to the heating system!

About the larvae of bugs

Pest eggs are highly resistant to external factors. However, frost can destroy them. True, it is necessary to contain them at a temperature of more than two days.

Nevertheless, if you have blood-sucking insects, then professionals should be engaged in extermination. We destroy not only adult bugs but also the entire population of larvae in one day. We use only modern equipment and European products. We conclude a warranty agreement with free trips.

Barrier Installation

Found bites on the skin, waking up in the morning - then you certainly got bed bugs. Able to leave over 20 bites in one night. Since it feeds exclusively on blood, it is a carrier of various infectious diseases. Unlike other blood-sucking ones (for example, mosquitoes), it attacks when you are not able to protect yourself - during sleep. We are engaged in pest control (destruction of bugs) in apartments, private houses and change houses.

If cockroaches live mainly in old houses or polluted rooms, then bugs often appear even in the newest and cleanest apartment. They do not have special skills: they run slowly, they have no wings. The only advantage of insects was the ability to do without food for a long time. What gives them the opportunity to travel long distances before finding a new source of food. Destruction of bugs in the apartment must be done immediately, as soon as the first signs of infection appeared!

Bed bugs Bites of bugs Bed bugs in the house

The problem of bugs in the apartment is faced not only by residents of private houses, but also by high-rise buildings. They don’t care about the condition of your home, clean or dirty, damp or dry, wet or cold - they appear everywhere. Sometimes they can even start in apartments renovated and in perfect cleanliness. It is necessary to answer the main questions: how to find out if there are bugs in the apartment, why they appeared there, their favorite places and how to remove pests from the premises.

Simple observations to help determine if there are bugs in the house

What methods will help identify bugs

Eight glasses

To check if there are insects in the house:

• eight plastic cups must be purchased at the hardware store, four should be large and four a little smaller;
• put one glass in another, treat the edges with a piece of sandpaper;
• set them under the bed legs;
• pour a little vegetable oil and sprinkle with talcum powder.

When the insect tries to climb into the bed at night on the leg, it will fall into the prepared trap.

In the mornings, she began to find on the body small red spots that itch. It was not possible to detect bloodsuckers in the apartment. I bought a special trap for insects in the store, in the afternoon some small bug got into it, I thought a bug. I read how to recognize domestic bugs, but it turned out that it was not him. Found on the forum a way with glasses. I set it for the night, and in the morning I found as many as seven bugs in them.

Plate method

Lubricate the outside of disposable plastic plates with oil or greasy cream, pour talcum powder inside. Put a plate near the bed. A bloodsucker, falling into talc, then will not be able to get out of it.

Early rise

This method will help to find out if there are bed bugs in the bed. To do this, you need to make the bed a white sheet and go to bed, having previously set an alarm for four in the morning. Having woken up on the alarm clock, carefully check the sheet for the presence of small blood spots, if you are lucky, you can find a small number of insects.

Using these methods, sometimes it is possible to find a single individual, which makes you wonder if the bug can be alone in the apartment. To do this, you need to carefully examine it, identify the female or male. They can be distinguished by the shape of the body, in females it is round and convex, which indicates the presence of eggs in her body. If a female is found, then it is likely that she is not the only representative of the "bloodthirsty" family.

Bed bugs in bed and in the house - this is a real grief for the owners. Restless sleep, anxiety, the feeling that someone is constantly crawling over you, does not allow you to completely relax and rest after a hard day. Determining a bed bug is very simple, just a small observation is enough. If the suspicions are confirmed, it is urgent to take measures to destroy the bugs.

How to find out if there are bugs in your own home - 5 steps to finding it correctly

Bed bugs in private houses appear much less often than in apartments of multi-storey buildings. Moreover, they settle down both in the old Khrushchevs and in modern apartments. The signs of bed bugs in the apartment are bright and significant, but they appear with a large infection. This is the whole difficulty. How to find out if there are bed bugs in the house?

Smell is a clear sign of the presence of insects.

Why do bloodsuckers smell? The sense of smell plays an important role in the life of insects. Thanks to this feeling, they orient themselves in space, find food, mate and give signs to relatives. Odorous glands are especially active during mating and impending danger. What smell home bugs?

Insects do not like drafts, bright light and excessive humidity. They prefer to settle closer to the victim. Therefore, you need to start the search in the bedroom or in the room where the person is sleeping. Each apartment has places to hide. In this case, insects create nests and families. There is no strict structure, so there can be several bugs. In them you can find adults, larvae, skins after molting, eggs. They do not go hunting in an organized manner. And it looks that way. So, you should check:

• Mattress;
• Pillows
• Bedding, especially stitches;
• Bed frame;
• Sofa;
• Armchairs
• Skirting boards;
• Cabinets;
• Shelves with books;
• The reverse side of mirrors, paintings, carpets;
• Doorways;
• Stuffed Toys;
• Sockets;
• The places where the wallpaper came off;
• Cracks in the floor and wall.

Evidence on the bed

Signs of bloodsuckers can be found in your own bed. Domestic pests activate at night. During the day they hide away from sunlight and human eyes. Catching on the hot is quite difficult. Since they wait until a person falls asleep and becomes immovable. Hungry insects are very mobile and almost invulnerable. What can not be said about well-fed relatives. They can be killed with the slightest touch. Traces of blood remain on the bed. Small insects 3-5 mm. Black dots are excrement.

During bites, home bloodsuckers inject a substance with an analgesic effect under the skin. You can feel the bite in 5-7 minutes. During this time, the insect calmly eats and crawls to the side. In a dream, sensitivity decreases. And in most cases, strange bites are found on the body in the morning. Another clear sign of the presence of pests in the apartment. You can catch on the hot. If you set an alarm for 3-4 am, turn on the light sharply and remove the blanket.

Characteristic bite marks

You can identify bugs in the house by bites. They look like traces from mosquitoes or ants. Swelling, redness, red dots in the center with gore. However, you can trace the track. Bites are located a short distance from each other. This is due to the fact that initially the insect seeks out an artery with blood, then changes the source. A full meal lasts about 20 minutes. During this time, you need to make 5-6 bites.

The frequency depends on the degree of infection. You can determine the number of sleepless nights. In general, bed bugs can not be called voracious. They eat 1 time per week, and they have enough stock for a rainy day for a month. They can starve up to 1.5 years. Therefore, it is almost impossible to get rid of pests in a way with food deprivation. If the number increases, meals can be observed every night. To begin the full development of the larva, it needs to taste the blood.

Most often, women and children suffer from attacks. Soften tender skin is much easier. A husband and wife can sleep in the same bed, and only a woman will suffer. There are such cases.

Reasons for the appearance

• humidity 60%;
• air temperature - about 20 degrees Celsius;
• the presence of food - a person in the apartment;
• shaded places
• lack of natural enemies.

• from dysfunctional neighbors;
• from the store with furniture;
• on clothes that were in the infected room;
• thanks to animals - birds, rodents or pets.

As a preventative measure, you need to check all things that come from other houses or a store. This also applies to business trips, travel and leisure. Upon return, wash and wash everything. Then only lay out in their places.

How to determine if there are bugs in the apartment?

How to understand that home bugs?

The first sign that night "saboteurs" got into the house are bites in the form of red spots on the skin. But how to understand that it’s bedbugs that are the source of trouble, and not, for example, mosquitoes or midges?

There are several signs by which you can distinguish a bug bite from a mosquito bite:

• traces of the “lunch” of bugs itch much stronger and longer than mosquitoes;
• inflamed spots from bedbugs have a middle point from a small point of dried blood, since when piercing the skin, insects only anesthetize the damaged area and do not secrete a substance that promotes coagulation (as mosquitoes do);
• bedbugs avoid places on the victim’s body covered with thick hair, preferring secluded tender corners with blood vessels close to the surface of the skin;
• since bedbugs rarely saturate in one puncture, the bites of these insects are numerous and are arranged in long chains;
• mosquitoes bite only in the warm season, bed bugs are able to hit a person all year round.

Sometimes it’s not so easy to detect the presence of bugs. Individuals lead a nocturnal lifestyle, preferring to hide in the secluded, warm and darkened corners of the house during the day. But to fight with small groups is much easier than with an expanded colony of insects.

Favorite places for sheltering bugs are:

• carpet paths;
• back and bottom walls of furniture;
• cracks behind lagging wallpaper;
• spaces behind ceiling and floor skirting boards;
• cracks in the parquet board;
• roots and book covers;
• wall carpets;
• clothes in the closet;
• boxes with shoes;
• various electrical appliances;
• animal beds, bird cages;
• legs of the bed, sofa.

Bed bugs do not organize into communities with a clear hierarchy, like ants or bees, but tend to coexist in groups in safe places, next to a food source. At the same time, the sanitary condition of the home has little effect on their livelihoods. The house can shine with cleanliness during the day, but at the same time teem with domestic bugs at night. Therefore, at the first bites detected, one should proceed with disinfestation measures, without waiting until the bedbugs become full-fledged home owners.

Dwelling with a bug "ducky"

All species of bugs from the order of Hemoptera have a certain smell, sometimes quite persistent and unpleasant for human smell. Domestic insects do not smell as much as forest ones.

What smell of bed "saboteurs"? The smell of house bugs can cause many fragrant associations. Someone smells strawberries and wild berries, someone - nuts and spices, and someone smells cognac. In any case, the specific “stink” of bed bugs resembles the aroma of these products in a hypertrophied, “overexposed” form.

The odorous glands of bedbugs secrete a special secret, which:

• signals an active stage of reproduction of insects;
• indicates disturbance of calm of adults and larvae (for example, when removing the upholstery from the back wall of the sofa);
• scares off, and in some cases, and kills the enemy suddenly arriving.

Bed "neighbors"

Given that bedbugs eat only at night, and it is best to look for them in the dark. Even if you couldn’t catch the “saboteurs” at the crime scene, you can find out who caused the bites and night restlessness by examining furniture stitches and cracks in the floorboards with a magnifier.

Checking upholstered furniture

Having bred in large numbers, insects feel so free that they no longer bother to carefully hide, preferring not to go far from places of constant food. How to find out if there are bedbugs on the couch where it is so nice to relax with your favorite movie after a hard day? It happens that to identify the enemy it is enough to carefully examine certain places of the upholstered furniture:

• all seams and folds;
• linen boxes;
• joints of parts;
• sofa cushions;
• back wall;
• legs.

If during a quick inspection it was not possible to find bugs, from the evening in front of the legs of the sofa you should spread a light sheet, and at night suddenly light the light and conduct a control inspection.

Detected colonies should be immediately treated with effective insecticides. In some cases, you may need a full dry cleaning of the sofa. Old contaminated furniture is best discarded immediately.

The method of multi-sized dishes

One of the ways to detect bed bugs in an apartment is by using a trap method for dishes of different sizes. In modern conditions, it is quite possible to use plastic glasses or disposable plates. The latter should be deep enough.

The device for bedbug traps:

• take 8 plastic cups or disposable plates (4 larger diameter, 4 smaller);
• insert a small glass into a large one;
• put the legs of the bed in a small container;
• pour any vegetable oil into the resulting space between the glasses;
• leave the device overnight.

Bed bugs making their way from the rookeries to the place of eating are sent to the legs of the bed. Overcoming the first barrier in the form of a wall of a tank of a larger diameter, insects invariably fall into an oil ambush, from which they cannot get out. The method allows you to find out with 100% guarantee whether there are uninvited blood-sucking guests in the house, since at least one insect is sure to come across.

Precautionary measures

• sudden fever;
• swelling of the extremities with bite marks;
• nausea
• dizziness
• respiratory failure;
• loss of consciousness.

Having felt alarming symptoms, it is not worth guessing whether there are bed bugs at home. At the first signs of a dangerous allergic reaction, you should consult a dermatologist or seek emergency medical help.

How to identify bedbugs after applying all pest control methods? It is enough to repeat the above steps. When fighting bugs, one should know that even one surviving female is able to reproduce offspring and return bugs to the house.

How to determine if there are bed bugs at home?

Sometimes we may not even realize that there are bugs in our house. But soon you will find it anyway when you start to wake up and see red spots on your body. But even this method cannot give guaranteed results. Firstly, it’s not the fact that it is the bugs that bite you. And secondly, your body may simply not take bites properly. But it’s better not to get to it, otherwise it will be a little more difficult to disinfect.

Signs by which you can check for bed bugs in the apartment

1. The first sign is, of course, bites. Bedbug bites can be distinguished by the characteristic red dot in the center of the track from the bite. This is due to the fact that bedbugs do not secrete a substance that allows blood to clot quickly. Therefore, in the morning you can see dried blood at the site of the bite. This is the main distinguishing feature from the bite of other insects.
2. If you suddenly find unusual black dots near your bed, don't think it's dirt. Most likely, this is a waste of bugs. This also suggests that it is time to take certain measures.
3. Some time after the settlement of bugs, you can notice their hard shells on the bed. This can only be seen after their molting.
4. Well, of course, if you yourself have already seen bugs or their larvae, then you should not have any doubts. Make light bedding and turn on the light sharply in the middle of the night. Most likely, you will see a lot of bugs near the bed.

How to find bugs in an apartment?

If all the previous methods did not help you, and you continue to think about how to find out if there are bed bugs at home, then read the article further.

The figure shows how to make a bug trap.

Always remember that bugs go hunting only at night. In the afternoon they can not even search. Look for them in hard-to-reach places. For example, under skirting boards, in the seams between furniture or behind a gas stove. Do not take their bites for allergies if you have already discovered other signs of their stay. And also, if you started waking up with bites in late autumn or winter, then, of course, they simply cannot be mosquitoes. There is no doubt that these are bedbugs. In order to dispel doubts, immediately after a new bite, consult a dermatologist, he will easily make a diagnosis immediately, since bedbugs always bite in one line.

Important! If you sharply noticed a severe deterioration in well-being, it is probably a severe stage allergy. Do not self-medicate, but consult a doctor immediately.

To detect bugs, you need a flashlight and a magnifying glass. With these two items, you can easily find bedbug eggs or their droppings.

A method for determining the presence of bed bugs in the house using glasses

If you do not notice bedbug traces on the bed, but you have suspicions that there are bedbugs in your house, then this method is for you. To do this, you will need 8 glasses of plastic. 4 of them should be slightly smaller in diameter. Place one glass in a glass of a smaller diameter and place the bed leg in them. Sand the outside of the cup. So bugs will be much easier to climb and fall into your trap. Pour a little sunflower oil into a glass that has a smaller diameter and sprinkle with a little talcum powder. At night, when the bugs go hunting, they will try to climb to you on the legs of the bed and stumble on a trap from plastic glasses.

The appearance of a bed bug is characterized primarily by a flattened body, which helps it to wade between tissue folds, without risking being crushed by a person. In the length of the bug from 3 to 8.5 mm, depending on gender and blood saturation, females are larger than males in size. Body color - from dark brown to dirty beige and even rusty.

In addition to the proboscis for puncture of the skin, the bug has a sharp bristle to highlight anesthetic saliva at the site of the bite.

Bed bugs are most active at night, especially when they are hungry. A well-fed bug increases in size, becomes not so nimble and more vulnerable, it is from well-fed crushed bugs that blood marks remain on the pillowcase.

  Traces of blood may remain on the pillowcase if you crush a well-fed bug in a dream.

Bed bug lifestyle

Bed bugs have a well-developed sense of smell, this helps them in finding a victim and a place of shelter. For example, they can smell the clothes that you wear most often, such as a dressing gown, and hide in it.
