Bed bugs coexist with humans since centuries in varying global dimensions and distribution. They are a human parasite feeding on blood, preferably during the night as they avoid the light. In Europe, mostly the bed bug species Cimex lectularius occurs. They hide in dry cracks and crevasses of an apartment or house and are therefore often difficult to detect. Bed bugs stay in their hiding place until being attracted by increased carbon dioxide levels present in human breathing air. They are even able to survive up to one year without feeding under favorable conditions.

The bites of a bed bug are often not noticed at first as one does not sense the stab. Later the bites may cause itching or even swelling. The bites are often arranged in a line as the bed bug tries different locations but besides that they do not have a typical appearance. Bed bugs preferably feed on uncovered human body parts such as the hands or feet, they usually do not join you underneath the bedcover. So far, no transmission of any disease is known by a bed bug bite (Lai et al 2016).
