There are many speculations regarding bed bug’s exact period of origin but a prolonged research divulges that bed bugs had come into existence during 20th century in Australia. Though accurate informations on bed bugs are not available, two species of bed bugs found in Australia have revealed bed bugs originating during 20th Century only in Australia. Two species of bed bugs have so far been found in Australia, recognized as Cimex Lectularius and Clime Hemipterus, according to a report published by the Medical Entomology Department in Australia.

The report confirming blood sucking bed bug’s exact origin during the 20th Century has been substantiated by all the ontological research centers of North America and Europe as well. A prolonged research over the origination and infestation of bed bugs has confirmed that Australian soil had produced the bed bugs. And remaining parts of world was victimized of bed bug infestation afterwards.

Looking like cockroaches, the bed bugs can be recognized by dark reddish-brown color, six tiny legs and their flattened shape. Emergence of such small insects in the world is not restricted to any particular region or state as these crawling bed bugs can emerge anywhere else in the world. Contrary to an usual notion that bed bugs emerge only at filthy areas has been belied with large scale bed bug infestation noticed at better hygienic areas as well.

Bed bug infestation takes place much faster. Each female bed bug, after mating with its male partner, lays 2 to 5 eggs per day. The eggs in turn take 5 to 11 days in getting hatched, depending upon the climatic temperature. Hatch-lings of bed bugs happen to be colorless or light cream by their color.

Keeping in view security of hatch-lings, the female bed bug lays its eggs in inaccessible sites of wooden structures like cracks or crevices either of wooden frames of beds, doors or furnitures. Eggs of female bed bug get safely sticked on the rough surfaces thereof and are hatched finding a suitable temperature.

Just after coming out of the eggs, the newly born bed bugs pass through five specific stages of their life, simply known as nymph-stage. Before attaining a complete adulthood, all the infant bed bugs crave for warm blood as each fresh blood meal helps the newly born bed bugs grow much faster and attain complete adulthood during their nymph-stage.

What is remarkable to see over here is sucking the blood by bed bugs catching the victim unawares of bed-bug-bite. Being very expert in sucking the blood stealthily, the bed bugs come out of their hideouts or crevices during the night hours and get involved in sucking the blood of sleeping or idly sitting individual. The victim of bed bug bite remains unaware of his/her blood being drained out by an invisible, smallest and crawling infant bed bug. It really is quaint to digest that despite  bed bug’s taking not less than ten minutes in engorging the blood, the individual remains unaware of bed bug bite.

Being very clever and tenacious by their nature, the bed bugs manage to survive. Even if all the hideouts are obliterated and all the bed bugs thereof are exterminated, the tenacious bed bugs manage to survive on earth by shifting their dwellings. The life of a bed bug spans from six months up to complete one year and dwellings preferred by the bed bugs are dense populated localities, hotels, motels, dormitories, shelters, apartment complexes, tenements, and prisons.

Emergence of bed bugs in the world is the result of theirs free-of-cost worldwide tour through travel bags, suitcases and variety of travel goods used by the tourists staying in hotels. As has already been mentioned in this articles, the bed bug’s emergence is found only in the dense populated areas like hotels, dormitories and guest houses. Outstation people, checking in and checking out the hotels, play their pivotal role in helping unwanted bed bug survive by taking them along across the world involuntarily.

Beware of small bed bugs which can prove to be too big “B”, if you involuntarily invite them to victimize you of their terror. Take prompt action if you notice any sign of bed bug infestation and consult the expert to get rid of such unscrupulous bug’s perilous effect before bed bug infestation engulfs your entire house.
