| Summary | "The Bedbug [1934] by C. L. Marlatt" is an informative agricultural publication that falls within the category of entomological research, specifically focusing on household pests. Written during the early 20th century, this bulletin addresses the pervasive and troublesome issue of bedbugs, outlining their habits, life cycle, and control methods to assist homeowners in managing these blood-sucking parasites. The content of the book details the biology and behavior of the common bedbug ("Cimex lectularius"), highlighting its ability to invade homes, often through luggage or laundry.
