Bedbugs (cimex lectulariuis) are small, sneaky parasites that feed on human blood. They are difficult to detect because they hide so well during daylight hours or anytime victims are active.
Once bedbugs sense that activity is reduced and the victim may be asleep, they come out from hiding to feed. The longer the bugs live in your bedroom, the harder it is to get rid of them.

Bedbugs can squeeze into nearly any crevice; tiny cracks in plaster or even the narrow seam of electrical outlet plates are no barrier to these hungry little parasites. They can crawl freely on nearly any surface, navigate while inverted, and have been observed falling up to ten feet without being harmed.

Rats & Mice

Rats and mice are habitually nocturnal and secretive and are rarely seen during the day except when infestations are heavy. Therefore, to plan control work, it is necessary to properly interpret signs of their activities. These signs are found in secluded places, such as along walls, under piles of rubbish and behind or under boxes, boards and thick vegetation. From the rodent signs, one can tell the species present and whether a rodent infestation is current or old, heavy or light.

Fleas

Fleas mainly live on host, but the eggs hatched by them are left on the host and the host's bedding. The eggs that are laid on the host drop down and accumulate on beds, clothes, carpets and the under areas of many furniture. In about one to two weeks, the eggs hatch and larvae is born. These stick to the carpets and bedding for a stretch of 200 days. Gradually the larvae transforms into legless pupae, which remain like that for a whole year. If conditions are favorable then the pupae transform into fleas.
