Abstract

Unfortunately, bedbugs are back and are found in many different places such as homes, hotels, hospitals, movie theaters, and clothing stores. Bedbugs are not related to lower socioeconomic status and are an equal-opportunity problem. This article describes bedbugs, inspection and treatment, and nursing interventions when bedbugs are found.
