Bedbugs feed on blood and are able to drink more than their own body weight. They avoid the light and hunt their victims at night, while they sleep. Although they are not only a human parasite and also attack other mammals, birds and even domestic reptiles, humans are a particularly attractive host for them. They provide them with food, warmth and shelter. Larvae of these parasites are able to take blood even a few hours after birth. Their presence in the house betrays a specific smell that resembles rotting raspberries.
