Bedbug

Bedbug is an insect that is small, oval, and brownish in color, and feeds on the blood of animals or humans. These pests are known for their resilience and ability to multiply quickly, leading to infestations in homes, hotels, and other dwellings. Bedbugs are particularly bothersome because they can cause irritation and allergic reactions when they bite, plus they have a knack for hiding in mattresses, bed linens, and cracks in furniture, making them difficult to eradicate. Despite their name, bedbugs can also inhabit other areas where people sleep or lounge such as couches. Significant measures, often involving professional pest control services, are necessary to completely remove a bedbug infestation.
