The bulletin provides a concise, practical account of the common bedbug: its history, distribution, varieties, and physical characteristics; its habits, life cycle, feeding behavior, longevity, and response to temperature; the nature of its bites and potential disease associations; and its natural enemies. It then surveys remedies and control measures ranging from traditional household treatments to chemical fumigants, stressing careful application, safety, and persistent vigilance to achieve successful eradication.
