A kissing bug, also known as a paper barge fly, is a small insect that lives in your home. They are typically found in the kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom.
Kissing bugs are non-seasonal insects that fly during seasonality such as summer and autumn. They often land near windows or doors to find a warm, favorable environment to laid its eggs.
They do not fly during cold weather conditions so if you see one flying then it must be winter time because they usually hide during the winter months. They like to stay in buildings so if you have one in your home then it is probably frozen inside.

Behind pictures
Many people find this creepy, behind-a-curtain type of experience. However, there are ways to make this kind of hiding experience for your bugs and you easier.
If you do not want to install bug sensor devices in your home, then you can trace the paths of your bugs using an automated bug sensor application. The way it works is by adding in information about humidity, temperature, and air quality data for each room in your home.
By creating an app that tracks humidity, temperature, and air quality data for each room in your home, you can more easily find the bugs behind the picture doors. By having this app available through a smart device or application, more people can try this tracking method.
This app can also be modified to track things other than bugs, such as moisture levels or radiation levels.
Inside drawers
Most hidden under the bed, under the kitchen counter, or in a closet are bugs of some sort such as cockroaches, ants, and oak eggs. These bugs are very smart and will find their way into a home through a crushed carton of milk!
If you see one, you can quickly get rid of it by putting it in water!
However, if you want to get rid of these bugs yourself, you must seal up all openings and places they can move in. You can do this by using corked containers or old cereal boxes as cubbyholes. Leave about an inch of open space at the bottom to allow for air flow.
You can also place baking soda and water around the holes to help seal up the bugup! Make sure to check your home regularly for changes in structure to keep these bugproof.
Inside cabinets
Very few insects are safe from the power of a bug zapper. Some brands advertise that their products can stop or start the process of digestion for certain bugs, so this may be a factor in choosing one model for your home.
If you choose a bug zapper, make sure it has an effective IR radiation device built into it. These reduce unwanted heat and motion thatbugs might generate, making them easier to control.
Most models have adjustable settings that vary how strongly the bugs are shielded.
Behind the refrigerator
Most kissing bugs like warm, dry environments and they will enjoy your home for that reason. They will also hide when someone else is in the home because they are insect attackers and can be dangerous.
If you notice a kissing bug feeding, it may be possible to catch it in a jar! Most insects will leave their young unharmed and behind once they have ingested their prey.
By placing your jar on a windowsill or under a desk lamp, you may be able to track them down easily. You can then place your bug in a sealed container and let it sit for awhile until it pops out.
You can try putting some citronella spray or eucalyptus oil on the bottom of your jar to help prevent any transfers between bugs.
Under the stove
Surprising as it sounds, under your kitchen sink or under the stoveussie may be the best place for kissing bugs. While these bugs are not a threat to humans, they can be a problem for diatomaceous earth users as they feed on our water lines.
Kissing bugs are small hard-shelled insects about an inch in length. They are found in many shapes and sizes, from cute little wasps to large millipede-like creatures.
Both males and females are interchangeable, making this bug’s species a bit of an escape artist. When confronted, this bug will run away or fold its body in half to protect itself.
If you see a kissing bug acting suspiciously like it is hiding or folding its body away from something, it may be trying to protect itself from something that is attempting to harm it.
In the basement
It is believed that kissing bugs hide in the bas- zard in the subfloor of a home. Therefore, it is important to check all ceilings, walls, and flooring areas for these little insects.
To find a kissing bug, you need to look for small brown or black circles on your home’s surface. These circles are probably made by the beetle’s chitin. If you see many of these chitin dots, you have a good chance of finding a kissing bug.
Kissing bugs are very visual creatures and can be spotted even without their predators. If you see a kissing bug being eaten or disturbed, chances are it was trying to escape!
Since these bugs are very hard to spot, it is important to know what to do if you find one.
Behind the trash can
While bugs are very much a staple of the home bug, you should never see them when they are present. They are known flüe, which means “heavenly’ in German, and these bugs are renowned for their sweet scent and beautiful patterns.
Kissing bugs will stick to walls and can even make a home. They prefer to live on plant roots, so your bug habitat will need to be replaced frequently. They also love to feed so be careful about leaving food outside of the house.
Kissing bugs are easy to spot as they have red spots on their wings and tail. If you see one in the distance, run away before it catches you! These creepy-crawlers can be threats if they get inside of your home, where they can fly around looking for a host.

On top of the fridge
Look out! There’s a kissing bug on your fridge ! It looks like a piece of fruit, but it is actually a female kissing bug.
Female bugs spend a lot of time hiding in hidden spaces, such as the top of the fridge or under the dishwasher. This is because when she comes out, she needs to search for a place to lay her eggs and raise her young.
If you see one trapped under the dishwasher, it is likely that something has been washed away, making it easy for it to escape. Luckily, these bugs are singularly adorable and you can just wipe them off your food.
There are many ways to prevent kissing bugs from entering your home. The easiest way is to cover any open windows or doors with plastic covers. Also, if you have pets, keep them away from your home to keep these bugs from reproducing.
