It is important to know the spot or areas when bedbugs could live in the home. Bedbugs are small, oval, brownish insects that live on human or animals’ blood. Bedbugs are normally active at night and usually take up to 3 to 12 minutes when biting. When bedbugs enter a home without being detected, it can be through clothes, couches, and used bed.

Here are tips that will you when checking for any bedbug on your bed
1. On the bed, especially the edges.
2. Check for stained bedsheets and pillowcases.
3. A musty offensive smell will always generate often in that room
4. All the furniture and other things that are next to the bed should be checked too.
5. They are also in places that are not close to the bed, like electrical appliances, ceiling meet, wallpaper, wall hangings, drawer, and other products.

Some people may become confused if there are differences between dwarf planet and planet. When you say “dwarf planet,” this means that you are looking at the area that surrounds it. It may still be surrounded by different celestial bodies. This is because a dwarf planet has not been able to clear the area around the orbit. When you say planet, this has already cleared the surrounding celestial bodies.

Pluto used to be considered a planet but upon closer inspection, astronomists have decided that it would be more fit to be called a “dwarf planet.” Other dwarf planets include Ceres and Eris. There are also different planets here in our solar system aside from earth.

A planet is any of the major bodies that orbit the sun. A planet is most times described as a rocky or gaseous celestial body that has achieved hydrostatic equilibrium. Currently, there are eight planets in the solar system. They include; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

It used to be nine with the inclusion of Pluto, but since it has not cleared its neighboring region of other competing bodies, it cannot be regarded as a planet. On the other hand, a dwarf planet is also a celestial body. It has sufficient mass, which makes it to overcome other fixed body forces.

Due to this, a dwarf planet also has its own gravity. A lot of celestial bodies are still known as dwarf bodies because they have not cleared their neighboring region of other competing bodies. It was because of this reason that Pluto is now being referred to as a dwarf planet.
