<\/span><\/p>\n After feeding, an adult bed bug skitters back to its bed-frame joint, screw head, suitcase, or wherever else it has made its home.<\/p>\n All bed bugs also emit alarm pheromones in times of danger to warn others away, and females may also use chemical signals to help nymphs find their first meal.<\/p>\n Once a bed bug has tracked down the aggregation pheromones and it is safe in its hiding spot, it snuggles in with anywhere from five to dozens of others, including both nymphs and adults. They pack in tight amongst their own eggs, cast skins, and faeces, giving off a musty, fruity odor that was described in 1936 by an entomologist as an \u201cobnoxious sweetness\u201d.<\/p>\n After a meal, bed bugs often engage in rough and tumble sex, in part because a satiated female is sluggish and her plump body makes her easy to mount.<\/p>\n Bed bugs mate by an unusual practice called \u201ctraumatic insemination\u201d. The male bed bug climbs onto his lover\u2019s back, his head resting on the left side of her pronotum, the outside of the first segment of the thorax, that is roughly equivalent to her neck.<\/p>\n He grasps her with the claws of his feet and tucks his abdomen so that it curves around her body, holding her in a violent embrace. At the tip of his abdomen is a hypodermic appendage called a lanceolate paramere, which is essentially the bed bug\u2019s penis. He swiftly stabs the female\u2019s underside and ejaculates into her body cavity. It\u2019s more like a shanking than a romantic coupling.<\/p>\n I guess there is a dirty truth about the saying \u201cGoodnight, Sleep Tight and Don\u2019t Let the Bed Bugs Bite!\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#f5f9fc” global_module=”353″ saved_tabs=”all”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”4″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”ms-row-extra” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”1400px” custom_padding=”|10px|0px|10px|false|false”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/healthguard.asia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/HealthGuard-Logo-Formats-01-1.png” title_text=”HealthGuard-Logo-Formats-01-1″ _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||13px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|60px||60px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Lato||||||||” text_text_color=”#a0a0a0″ text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”||14px|||” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”|20px|14px|20px|false|true” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n HealthGuard\u00ae<\/span> Australia is the world leader in innovative disease prevention.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_signup mailchimp_list=”CorporationHealthGuard|b72acf4480″ layout=”bottom_top” first_name_field=”off” last_name_field=”off” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Lato||||||||” body_font=”Lato||||||||” result_message_font=”Lato||||||||” result_message_text_color=”#444444″ form_field_font=”Lato||||||||” background_enable_color=”off” custom_button=”on” button_bg_color=”#0a6fb7″ button_border_color=”#0a6fb7″ button_font=”Lato||||||||” custom_margin=”-13px|-17px||-23px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|90px||90px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” border_color_all_fields=”#0a6fb7″][\/et_pb_signup][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_blurb title=”SOLUTIONS” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Lato|700||on|||||” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_color=”#a0a0a0″ body_line_height=”1.3em” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|20px||20px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n Bed Bug Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Mosquito Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Dust Mite Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Bed Bug Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Microbial Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_blurb title=”OTHER PAGES” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Lato|700||on|||||” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_color=”#a0a0a0″ body_line_height=”1.3em” custom_padding=”||||false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|20px||20px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone”]<\/p>\n Allergy Treatment<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Anti Covid<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Biotech Companies China<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Biotech Companies India<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Biotech Companies London<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Cimex Lectularius\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Mildew\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Mosquito Repellant\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n MRSA<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Oeko Tex<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Preventing Bed Bugs<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Technical Textile\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n VRE<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.6.5″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_blurb title=”IMPORTANT QUICK LINKS” _builder_version=”4.6.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”Lato|700||on|||||” body_font=”Lato||||||||” body_text_color=”#0a6fb7″ body_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”||-16px|||” custom_padding=”||||false|true” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|20px||20px|false|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n Customer Portal<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n FAQ’s<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Videos<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
