Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Bed bug bites may cause which of the following illnesses?

Answer: Cimicosis

Cimicosis is the scientific term for red, itchy bumps on the skin caused by bed bug bites. Bed bugs do not spread infectious diseases. Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes. Chagas Disease is spread by the South American "kissing bug". There is no known insect vector for HIV/AIDS.
2. If you suspect your home is infested with bed bugs, what would be the best initial course of action for you to take?

Answer: Have your home inspected by a professional pest control company

An experienced, professional pest control company can confirm whether bed bugs are present and advise you on treatment options. Pesticides available to consumers may be ineffective against bed bugs and dangerous to humans when used indoors. Replacing or destroying household items is an extreme step and will not necessarily end the infestation.
3. Bed bugs frequently leave a line of three bites close together, often referred to as what?

Answer: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

"Breakfast, lunch, and dinner" is not to be taken literally. Bed bugs may leave numerous bites over the course of a single feeding, which lasts less than an hour.
4. Which of the following has not proven to be an effective method of treating bed bug infestations?

Answer: Bombardier beetles

There is no practical way to eradicate bed bugs by introducing predatory insects into the infested areas. Any of the other methods, when administered by an experienced professional, may be effective. Many companies will recommend a combination of treatments for the best results.
5. Some dogs have been trained to detect bed bugs using what sense?

Answer: Smell

Bed bugs have a distinctive odor and dogs have been used to successfully locate the exact areas where bed bugs are present.
6. What is the typical lifespan of an adult bed bug?

Answer: Up to one year

With regular feeding and favorable temperatures, adult bed bugs may live for around one year. They can survive without feeding for several months.
7. Which of the following locations does not need to be included when inspecting for bed bugs?

Answer: Bathroom drains

Despite their name, bed bugs may make their home in many areas in addition to beds! However, you don't need to worry about an army of bed bugs suddenly emerging from your plumbing.
8. The stages of a bed bug's life cycle are:

Answer: Egg, nymph, adult

After hatching, bed bug nymphs must molt five times before becoming adults.
9. Bed bug infestations have occurred in all of the following places except:

Answer: The International Space Station

Virtually any area occupied by humans may be susceptible to bed bug infestation. Luxury and wealth do not afford any special protection. The protocols for space travel, however, seem to be effective.
10. If you live in an apartment building and suspect that your unit has become infested with bed bugs, what should you do?

Answer: Report the problem to management and cooperate with their remediation plan

Most landlords in the United States are becoming aware of and educated about the recent resurgence of bed bugs. They can occur even in the best-managed properties. To eradicate the pests, multiple apartments will probably need to be treated. There is rarely a reliable way to determine exactly how bed bugs first entered the premises.
