Temperature stress deteriorates bed bug (Cimex lectularius) populations through decreased survival, fecundity and offspring success
Sublethal heat stress may weaken bed bug infestations to potentially ease control. In the present study, experimental populations exposed to 34, 36 or 38°C for 2 or 3 weeks suffered significant mortality during exposure. Among survivors, egg production, egg hatching, moulting success and offspring p...
