k Bed bug trap research Bed bug trap research. Trap being tested to see if it attracts bed bugs using odours. This trap combines body temperature 37 degrees Celsius, human odour, and carbon dioxide. Bed bugs are wingless, parasitic insects of the family Cimcidae. The most common species is Cimex lectularius. Bedbugs grasp human skin with their forelegs, pierce the skin, and inject anticoagulant and an anaesthetic containing saliva. They feed at night. The female lays approximately 300 eggs. They dont transmit diseases but can cause skin infections from scratching bites. This research is being carried out by Jean Michel Berenger.
