Recent entomological research indicates that bed bugs prefer certain colors over others.
Researchers found that bed bugs prefer shelters that are colored red and black. Yellow and green seemed to repel the critters.
The paper, by researchers at Union College in Nebraska and the University of Florida, was published online on April 25 by the “Journal of Medical Entomology.”
Although Cimex lectularius—as they are known to the scientific community—generally prefer red and black habitats, their color preferences vary slightly. These variations are dependent on the insects’ gender, nutritional status, and life stage.
