Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius L.; Hemiptera: Cimicidae) have re-emerged as important public health pests in the past decade, with increasing intensity of urban infestations in Canada, the USA, Western Europe and Australia. The exact cause of this resurgence is unclear, but may be a consequence in part owing to the development of resistance in bed bugs to commonly used domestic insecticides. Bed bugs are obligate blood feeders on humans. Bed bug infestations often require expensive ongoing inspections and treatments, disposal and replacement of infested beds and other furnishings and quarantine of infested areas. They have an especially negative impact on the hospitality industry. There is an urgent need to develop pest management tools that are not only effective, but that do not themselves have undue negative impacts on human health.

在过去的十年里，随着加拿大、美国、西欧和澳大利亚城市危害的加剧，臭虫(Cimex lectularius L.；半翅目：叶蝉科)重新成为一种重要的公共卫生害虫。这种卷土重来的确切原因尚不清楚，但部分原因可能是床虱对常用的家用杀虫剂产生了抗药性。臭虫是人类的专职吸血动物。臭虫的侵扰往往需要昂贵的持续检查和治疗，处理和更换受感染的床和其他家具，并对受感染的地区进行检疫。它们对酒店业的负面影响尤其严重。迫切需要开发不仅有效而且本身不会对人类健康产生不适当负面影响的虫害管理工具。
