Let’s face it — bedbugs are persistent, sneaky, and downright disturbing. These little intruders can ruin your comfort, disrupt your sleep, and make you feel like your home isn’t your sanctuary anymore.
But there’s good news: you don’t have to rely on chemical-laden sprays to get them under control. One powerful, natural weapon in the battle against bedbugs is something you might already have in your kitchen — clove oil.
🕷️ What Exactly Are Bedbugs?
Bedbugs, scientifically known as Cimex lectularius, are small, flat insects that survive solely on blood. They are usually reddish-brown in color and are roughly the size of an apple seed.
These pests are nocturnal, preferring to come out at night to feed. They typically bite exposed skin while you’re sleeping, often leaving behind itchy, red marks.
📍 Where Bedbugs Love to Hide
These bugs are experts at staying hidden. They nestle into tight crevices and can remain unnoticed for weeks.
Common hiding spots include mattress seams, behind headboards, in wall cracks, and even inside electrical outlets or picture frames.
⚙️ How Bedbugs Thrive
Bedbugs feed exclusively on blood and can go months without a meal. This allows them to lie low until a host is available.
A single female can lay hundreds of eggs in her lifetime, making it critical to catch an infestation early before it spreads.
