Facts About Bed Bug Infestations
Bed bugs are nocturnal insects that solely feed on warm-blooded hosts, favoring human blood. Being very adaptable, these transient insects are found nearly anywhere; being more concentrated around developed areas. Bed bugs are small, measuring up to about the size of an apple seed as an adult. They have grayish brown, flat oval-shaped bodies, which after feeding look engorged and redder. They were named bed bugs because they would commit their criminal acts, stealing your blood as you slept and often before dawn, returning to their hiding places. When their numbers are small, they generally stick to hiding in the nooks and crannies of your bed but they will hide where they can in the bedroom, sticking close to the meal source.
