Abstract

Recent researches on bed bugs (Family: Cimicidae) have taken place because these pests are becoming active again around the world. Bed bugs tend to invade spaces that are both closed off and poorly ventilated. Tightly packed neighborhoods struggle with these more often, as furniture and bedding rarely move during Pakistan’s hot and humid times. Beds bugs can injure people by biting and sucking blood or indirectly affect their mental health. In spite of different ways to control bed bugs, here heat treatment using boiling water was chosen. Cooking water kills insects by causing them to dry out. The strategy works well and is low-cost because it does not require any particular instruments or chemicals.

Keywords:   Bed bug, Heat treatment, Thermal injury, Bite allergy and Mental health.
