The bedbug : $b Its relation to public health, its habits and life history, and methods of control

"The Bedbug: Its Relation to Public Health, Its Habits and Life History, and Methods of Control" by Hugh S. Cumming is a straightforward scientific analysis of a common household pest, explaining the bugs biology, behaviors, and how to deal with infestations. The book points out that the bedbug belongs to the Hemiptera family, usually comes out at night, and lays out its diet and young. It's also important to note that the book explains that bedbugs might spread diseases if you don't keep things clean, but that's not usually how diseases get around. The book argues for why we should keep our surroundings clean to promote hygienic surroundings to prevent the spread of bedbugs in places like houses, hospitals, and boats, and also contains a list of ways to get rid of them, such as fumigation and simple home treatments.
