How did people in the past control bedbug?

How did people in the past control bedbug?

Written by Abet Tonny

Egypt and magic! The acient Egyptians used to cast spells to try restrain bedbugs. I guess the bedbugs had infested Pharaoh's throne. Whether this worked or not...that can burst a scientist's brain.

Important ancient records also reveal people employed use of plants like black pepper and eucalyptus oil to repell bedbugs. People in Lango, northern Uganda, used 'iboke cwari' (some wild leafy plant) to trap the bedbug.
