The global population of bed bugs (Cimex lectularius and Cimex hemipterus, family Cimicidae) has undergone a significant resurgence since the late 1990s. This is likely due to an increase in global travel, trade, and the number of insecticide-resistant bed bugs. The global bed bug population is estimated to be increasing by 100–500 % annually. The worldwide spread of bed bugs is concerning, because they are a significant socioeconomic burden and a major concern to public health. About 45 disease pathogens have been reported in bed bugs. Recent studies report that bed bugs may be competent vectors for pathogens, such as Bartonella quintana and Trypanosoma cruzi. However, public health reports have thus far failed to produce evidence that major infectious disease outbreaks have been associated with Bed- Bugs. Since many disease pathogens have previously been reported in bed bugs and the worldwide bed bug population is now drastically increasing, it stands to reason to wonder if bed bugs might transmit human pathogens. This review includes a literature search on recently published clinical and laboratory studies (1990–2016) investigating bed bugs as potential vectors of infectious disease, and reports the significant findings and limitations of the reviewed studies. To date, no published study has demonstrated a causal relationship between bed bugs and infectious disease transmission in humans. Also, we present and propose to expand on previous hypotheses as to why bed bugs do not transmit human pathogens. Bed bugs may contain “neutralizing factors” that attenuate pathogen virulence and, thereby, decrease the ability of bed bugs to transmit infectious disease.

*Bed bugs not only feed up on human blood, they also feed on any warm blood like Dog, Cat, Rat etc.*Bed bugs can lay 5 eggs at a time and 500 eggs in lifetime. So it is very important to get service as quick as possible*Children won't be able to understand Bed bug’s bite for this reason they suffer from Itching/Skin allergies etc.*Bedbugs can migrate with you anywhere with your cloths and luggage. So time to time nontoxic treatment is required. Can you get poisoning from bed bugs? The good news is that bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases to humans. But Bed bug bites may appear like other insect bites causing red spots and itchiness sometimes serious skin disease may be happened. Such bites may lead to skin infections. Some people have an allergic-like response.

Bed bugs are resilient. Nymphs and adults can persist months without feeding which is unusual for most insects. The ability to survive without a blood meal is longer at cooler temperatures ― potentially up to a year or longer at 55°F or less. In temperature-controlled buildings, a more typical duration without feeding is about 1 to 4 months. Consequently, it is usually impractical to leave homes unoccupied in hopes of ‘starving’ an infestation. When infested dwellings such as apartments are vacant, bed bugs often disperse to nearby units, or reduce their activity until the unit is reoccupied.
Bed bugs are active mainly at night. During the day, they tend to hide close to where people sleep. Bed bugs prefer to hide close to where they feed, but if necessary will crawl longer distances in search of a meal. Initially they tend to be concentrated around beds, sofas, and other sleeping and resting areas—but if infestations are allowed to persist, they may disperse elsewhere making elimination more difficult.
Bed bugs are active mainly at night.
*As per advice of Dr. Bhattacharyay our Technicians will scratch the eggs of bedbugs from corners of furniture, bed & mattresses using brush & Heat treatment. *We use Water based chemicals for cloth materials like bed sheets, pillow covers, curtains, we inject the chemicals into the mattresses, crevices and other upholstery as Bed bugs are most often found in the above mentioned bed parts.*Some time oil based chemicals also used for furniture which are infected by BEDBUGS, electric switch boards, equipment & metallic items.*Our technicians will visit for service & treatment will take times depending on house configuration.*Post treatment customer is requested to close the doors & windows for 2-3 hours post which you can open them & properly ventilate the room.*Generally it is safest and most effective to hire an experienced pest control professional who use non-toxic pesticides like Pest Quest Pvt. Ltd.
Safety: Do not allow Non professional pest controller or any unscientific spray from market which may create dangerous problem for Asthma patient or children.
*Beds - Seams in mattresses and box springs and joint gaps in bed frames also in blankets, bed sheets, pillow etc. *Walls/ floors – In cracks and crevices, under loose wallpaper and behind picture frames *Furniture - Inside furniture and upholstery and in corners of desks and dressers also showcase.
Pest Quest treat BEDBUG through NON TOXIC Pesticides.
If you live in a warmer climate, then you know how frustrating mosquitoes can be. And since mosquitoes are most active during warmer months, in many places, that can mean mosquitoes hang around from March through early November. Our organization always belief “Pest Science” and scientifically we control MOSQUITO and other PESTS.
Scientifically we control MOSQUITO and other PESTS.
