"The Bedbug [1916] by C. L. Marlatt" is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work, produced by the United States Department of Agriculture, presents a comprehensive examination of the common bedbug, known scientifically as "Cimex lectularius". The book delves into various aspects of the bedbug's biology, habits, and control measures, centering on its interactions with humans and its pest status in domestic settings. In this well-structured publication, C. L. Marlatt explores topics such as the bedbug's origin, life cycle, feeding habits, and survival strategies. The book highlights how bedbugs can easily enter human habitats through luggage and laundry, dispelling the myth that their presence is purely due to neglect. Moreover, Marlatt notes their adaptability and ability to thrive in various environments, as well as the potential for transmitting human diseases. The latter sections provide practical remedies for infestations, ranging from chemical treatments to preventive measures, emphasizing the necessity of vigilance and prompt action to manage these pests effectively. Overall, this detailed work serves as an informative guide for understanding and controlling bedbug populations in homes. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
