Bed bugs derive from one of the three lineages of the Heteroptera suborder that have all adapted specifically as blood feeders. This adaptation to require a meal of blood is called hematophagy, or hematophagia. Bed bugs began as a family primarily feeding on bats or birds as hosts. The transition from birds to bats then bats to humans took place in the era of humans living in caves. The human time frame of living in caves dates back to the paleolithic period which is said to have taken place anywhere from 10,000 to 2 million years ago during the Stone Age. The history of bed bugs and human relationship is reflected in both language and legend. The Indo-European African and Oriental languages all have names for bed bugs. These bugs are mentioned throughout Greek literature. Bed bugs are even mentioned in the New Testament. Between the 11th and 19th centuries it was said that bed bugs were introduced into the European civilizations in the wood shipments that were sent to rebuild London after the great fire’s destruction. Bed bugs were repelled and killed in many unique ways. The people would use anything from oils, plants, fungi, peppers, insect juices, tobacco and other herbs. The later centuries used smoked plant fires to produce a fumigant. They also use other soil types as well to repel the bugs. All of the early techniques took a long time to affect the bed bugs. The use of plants with micro hooks, like Bean leaves, proved to be a helpful form of trapping the bedbugs then the leaves were burned. During these centuries it was said that bed bugs thrived in the warmer seasons. It is suspected that the invention of heat and temperature systems aided in the survival of the species year-round.
