Bed-bugs are without doubt among the most disagreeable and loathsome of all insects. They remain hidden away in the walls of houses, behind loose wall-paper and pictures, mouldings, beds, mattresses, etc., eto. They usually gain entrance to a dwelling through transmission in clothing, laundry, etc., and it is necessary to be constantly on the alert to prevent these pests from invading the home.

Some of the worst tropical diseases including plague and leprosy, are believed to be transmitted by the bed bug.
