THE STATUS OF THE BARN SWALLOW BUG. OECIACUS VICARIUS HORVATH
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 May 2012
Extract
In 1909 I was interested to hear from a farmer in Ontario, that barn swallows are undesirable because they harbour bedbugs which spread from their nests to human habitations. Several times since I have heard the same complaint from various sources. In 1926 an instance cropped up in Vancouver where cliff swallows nests were systematically knocked down from some public buildings, for the same alleged reason.
