The science behind the treatment

Biology and Management of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are small, wingless, blood-feeding insects that have become one of the most challenging urban pests worldwide. They infest homes, hotels, hospitals, hostels, dormitories, public transport and other places where people sleep or rest. Although bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases to humans, their bites can cause itching, allergic reactions, sleep disturbances, anxiety and economic losses. The most common species affecting humans is Cimex lectularius.

An adult bed bug — reddish-brown, flattened and oval, turning darker and swollen after feeding.

Life cycle

Egg → five nymphal instars → adult — a blood meal is required before each moult.

Eggs per day

1–5, up to 200–500 in a lifetime

Egg hatch

6–10 days, depending on temperature

Egg to adult

Usually 5–8 weeks under favourable conditions

Adult lifespan

6–12 months; longer without feeding in cool conditions

Signs of infestation

  • Live bed bugs, eggs and eggshells
  • Cast skins (shed exoskeletons)
  • Small black faecal spots on mattresses and furniture
  • Blood stains on bed sheets
  • Sweet, musty odour in heavy infestations
  • Itchy bite marks, often in rows or clusters

Integrated management approach

Inspection

  • Mattresses, bed frames, headboards and upholstered furniture
  • Curtains, electrical outlets and wall cracks
  • Luggage and adjacent rooms in hotels and apartments

Monitoring

  • Interceptor traps under bed legs and sticky monitoring traps
  • Visual inspections with flashlights and inspection tools
  • Detection by trained personnel or canine detection where available

Sanitation & housekeeping

  • Reduce clutter around sleeping areas
  • Vacuum mattresses, furniture and floor edges thoroughly, disposing of contents in sealed bags
  • Wash bedding and clothing regularly after infestation is detected

Physical control

  • Wash infested fabrics in hot water (≥60°C) and dry on high heat for at least 30 minutes
  • Steam-treat mattresses, furniture and cracks
  • Mattress and box-spring encasements
  • Freeze small infested items at −18°C or below for several days, if practical

Heat treatment

  • Whole-room or localised heat to 50–60°C, maintained for several hours
  • Chemical-free; kills eggs, nymphs and adults
  • Suitable for sensitive environments when performed correctly

Chemical control

  • Applied only to harbourages, per product label — deltamethrin, lambda-cyhalothrin, alpha-cypermethrin, bifenthrin
  • Silica gel dust and diatomaceous earth for cracks and voids
  • Resistance to some pyrethroids is documented — combine with non-chemical methods

Follow-up

  • Reinspect after 10–14 days
  • Repeat treatment if live bugs or newly hatched nymphs are found
  • Continue monitoring until no activity is detected over multiple inspections

Bed bugs are resilient, blood-feeding pests that reproduce rapidly and conceal themselves in very small harbourages. Successful control requires an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach combining detailed inspection, sanitation, physical methods (vacuuming, steam, laundering and heat treatment), continuous monitoring and carefully targeted insecticide applications. Early detection and prompt intervention are the keys to preventing widespread infestations in homes, hotels, healthcare facilities and other occupied buildings.
