KISSING bugs have over 40 different species. They are similar to the bedbugs and have fully adapted themselves to the habits of man. A kissing bug is a nuisance and most a vector of trypanosomiasis.

Rated as one of the most dangerous parasites, kissing bugs hatch from eggs to larvae and adults hide during day in cracked walls and crevices, behind pictures and cupboards and under mattresses, where they lay eggs. They emerge at night for a blood meal.

Control measure:
To get rid of these dangerous vectors, spray all surfaces, corners, cracks and crevices with Baygon WP using a knapsack sprayer. Spray at least thrice in a month and you will have killed, even the eggs.
