Bedbug Treatment
Bed bugs are a significant problem in India and around the world. They are easily spread and
difficult to treat resulting in rapid growth in the number of bed bug outbreaks. The key to
beating this problem is to raise awareness of what to look for and to ensure bed bugs are
dealt with quickly once discovered.
Bed bugs feed on the blood of humans and other mammals. While bedbugs can transmit
disease, in India it is very rare. Instead, the primary concern is the irritation and distress
caused by bed bug bites.
Bed bug bites do not hurt. It is the itchiness that results from the body’s reaction to them
that causes discomfort. Treating the bites soothes the irritation, but it can still be very
distressing when there are multiple bites as is often the case with bedbugs. Multiple bites
and contact with bedbugs can also lead to an itchy rash or eczema. Consult a pharmacist for
advice and treatment if this occurs.
Adult Bed bugs are 5mm long. Before feeding they are a flattened oval shape and light
brown, but become rounder and darker after feeding.
They come out at night and are attracted to the warmth of our bodies and carbon dioxide in
our breath. They are usually found in bedrooms and hide in cracks and crevices during the
daytime.
