Blood and carbon dioxide accompanying the expiration of breath brings bedbugs to mammals. They can feed on any animal, although human blood appears to attract them the most. Bedbugs often rely on these factors to find a suitable host for feeding.
Bedbugs are parasites that rely on blood to survive. They can feed on the blood of any mammal, although they appear to prefer the blood of humans. They are attracted to the warmth surrounding mammalian bodies and the carbon dioxide present in breath expiration. It is usually these factors that guide bedbugs to locate a suitable host for feeding. DOES THIS HELP?
