Lifetime of a bedbug
The article states that a bedbugs can survive without feeding for 70 days and then later states that bedbugs can survive without food for 100 to 300 days. 2A01:B340:60:60CA:E13D:5117:444D:E5F3 (talk) 08:42, 31 October 2022 (UTC)
: Fixed (reconciled two sources; neither source mentioned the figure of "70 days" that I could see). OhNoitsJamie Talk 12:58, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
Unclear and blocked citations
Citation 5/8 (why does it change to 5 when editing??) is blocked by a paywall. Other sources suggested. There are other sources, but it's far too many articles to reasonably get the referenced, rather basic info from. FormalityInducer (talk) 17:06, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
:See WP:PAYWALL - paywalled sources are acceptable here. MrOllie (talk) 17:18, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Reverse author order in references
Reference 62 and 63 appear to present the authors in reverse order (starting with the last author and working backwards). Is this intentional? I haven't checked all other references but the few I did check don't appear to have this issue. Steffen Roth is the first (and corresponding) author on both of these papers, not Reindhart.
