In simple terms it is very difficult. The only real way is by preventing bedbugs infesting your home or having any bedbug infestation in your home exterminated. Because once they have infested a bed it can be almost impossible to stop them biting people in that home at night particularly when you sleep. And once one bed is infested they will move to other beds in same home. Unfortunately cleanliness is not a solution. All evidence suggests people who are spotlessly clean and have newly laundered bedding are just as likely to get bitten by bedbugs are people who are slovenly, dirty and whiff and sleep with unwashed bed linen.
Bedbugs are attracted to you by the CO2 you breathe out when you are asleep, and when any bedbug so detects somebody asleep it senses food. So, it will be attracted to the source of that breath looking for its food and once located climb in to the bed and on to that person's body, pierce their skin and suck their blood. Bedbugs most usually make their day time hiding place in the folds of mattresses, but they can be anywhere usually either in or near to a bed.

Because bedbugs hurt when they bite! You say "don't let the bedbugs bite" as part of a nightly ritual - the entire phrase is "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite." This phrase comes from the time when matresses rested on rope supports on the bed, and you slept better if the ropes were tight instead of sagging.

They are usually found in bodies of water and they feed on plants and insects. Some of the common species of water beetles can even be kept as pets as they are relatively easy to take care of. The following are some of the ways you can distinguish water beetles from bedbugs: Water beetles are usually bigger than bedbugs ranging in size from 0.2 to 2.0 inches. Water beetles have long antennae while bedbugs do not. Water beetles have wings and can fly while bedbugs cannot.In conclusion water beetles are not known to bite humans like bedbugs do.

Are the kissing bug and the bED bug are the same?
No they are from different insect families. The bedbug is from the Cimicadae family, kissing bugs are of the insect family Triatominae. Bedbugs are attracted to make their home in or near somebody's bed by detecting the CO2 breath of the person asleep. They are called bedbugs because they are normally found in or near a bed and because they bite the occupant of that bed when he or she is asleep in it. They are becoming increasingly common all over the world. Kissing bugs are only found in certain countries and are very much rarer, and their bite is even more unpleasant than a bedbug's bite. They are called kissing bugs because they only seem to bite people on their face, where somebody kisses you. But some kissing bugs are also called assassin bugs and they actually attack and eat live bedbugs, particularly bedbugs that have recently had a meal of some person's blood.
