The bedbug (or bed bug) is an insect of the family Cimicidae that lives by feeding on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded hosts. The name comes from its preferred habitat: mattresses, sofas, and other furniture. Although not strictly nocturnal, bedbugs are mainly active at night.
Bed bug infestations often go undetected until they are widespread. They are elusive, coming out mainly at night to feed on their sleeping victims and then go back to their hiding places undetected. They can however get onto clothing, luggage, backpacks etc and be transmitted from place to place.

Bed bugs gets onto a backpack or piece of clothing by an unknowing carrier and is brought to school, it then transfers to another backpack and goes home to a different house.
