Studies on bedbugs and ticks can reveal the morphological and taxonomical characters of species. This study was based on the analysis of different bedbugs and ticks with respect to the species. Bed bugs and mites samples were collected from Utkal University boy’s hostel and Nayapali area respectively. Bed bugs were collected during night time by using forceps whereas ticks were collected during day time from street dogs. After the collection of species there were preserved by using formalin in a plastic box for 24 hours. After preservation the test was examined under stereo zoom microscope. In this present study the ectoparasites Cimex lectularius, Cimex pilosellus, Adjunciusoeciacus, Boophilusannulatus, Rhipicepalus sanguinius, were respectively examined.
