Bedbugs are found worldwide and throughout the UK. They are nocturnal parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and other mammals.
Bedbugs are not regarded as disease carriers, but their blood feeding can cause severe irritation in some people. This can result in loss of sleep and lack of energy, particularly in children.
