Bedbug Registry Bedbug Registry – Bedbugs Bedbugs registry is a registry of hotels and motels which you should not stay in if you want to avoid bedbugs bites and infestation, but first let us introduce you what actually bedbugs are. Bedbugs are small parasitic insects. The species in this family usually feed on human or animal blood. As a warm blooded host we are perfect home for these insects. They usually “attack” during sleep and leave their saliva into our skin gaps. Usual reaction is that everyone thinks it was a bite from mosquitoes or spiders, with time we develop allergic reactions to their saliva and red itchy dots are starting to appear. Bedbug bites allergies are some of the most dangerous ones and if not treated on time some serious diseases may occur. These species were not affected by climate changes during their history and they managed to adapt to human environment (similar to cockroaches).

Bedbug Registry – Bedbug Bites Their most active time for feeding is one hour before sunrise. Then these critters crawl out of their hiding places and start to look for a good warm-blooded host. If you don’t have a pet in your home then you are their first choice. Then they are attracted to the host by it’s body heat and a presence of CO₂ (carbon dioxide). When they get on host they will pierce the its skin with two tubes. One tube injects saliva which contains anesthetics and anticoagulants. By doing this the victim will not feel anything and blood will flow out freely. With the other tube they suck blood in. The feeding lasts for five minutes. The first time host can be aware that they are bitten is by scratching the bedbug infestation spot. Usually we will all think those were mosquito’s or spider bytes. Bedbugs can live very long without food and then they become dormant for one year.
