bug (Cimex lectularius), are a significant
concern due to their ability to spread easily and
their resistance to many forms of treatment. They
are found across the country in various
environments, especially in residential areas,
hotels, and other places where people sleep.

BED BUG SAFETY TIPS
Bed bugs are tricky pests that can cause
discomfort and stress when they infest your home
or belongings. Here are some safety tips that can
help you avoid bed bugs or deal with an
infestation if one occurs Know the Signs Being
familiar with the signs of bed bugs is crucial.

dark spots on your mattress or bedding, a sweet,
musty odour, and the bugs themselves. They are

BED BUG SPECIES
The most typical bed bug species in Australia is
Cimex lectularius, also known as the common bed
bug. The same species is widespread in many other
parts of the world. Another species that might
be found in Australia, particularly in the
northern, more tropical regions, is Cimex
hemipterus, also known as the common bed bug.
Its important to note that these species behave
similarly, have similar life cycles, and pose the
same risks of biting humans and causing
discomfort. Both species are nocturnal, feeding
on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded
animals, and are adept at hiding in small cracks
and crevices during the day, usually near where
people sleep or rest. Their small size and
ability to disguise make them a challenging pest
to control, often necessitating the assistance of
professional pest control services.
