Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects about the size of an apple seed. These creatures are drawn to heat and carbon dioxide, so they often feed on humans while they sleep. Bed bugs, including bedding, furniture, and luggage, can be found everywhere.
Unfed bed bugs are usually mahogany, while engorged bed bugs are red-brown. Nymphs, or young bed bugs, are nearly colorless and range from 1.3 mm to 4-5 mm in size. Bed bugs have six legs and antennae; their shape is flat and broad, oval when unfed and swollen, and elongated when fed. They are behind baseboards, wallpaper, upholstery, and furniture crevices.
Bed bugs are elusive, nocturnal creatures that can hide in small cracks and crevices close to a human environment. Bed bugs usually come out at night for a blood meal, but they can also feed during the day in heavily-infested areas. After feeding, they move to secluded places and hide for 5-10 days. They digest their meal, mate, and lay eggs during this time.
Bed bugs do not spread diseases, but their bites can cause discomfort and become red, itchy welts. To prevent a bed bug infestation, vacuum your suitcases after returning from a vacation, check your bedsheets for blood spots, and consider bringing a large plastic trash bag to keep your suitcase in during hotel stays. Also, avoid bringing second-hand furniture, especially mattresses and box springs, into your home without thoroughly examining it for signs of an infestation. Check areas where your pets sleep for any signs of bed bugs regularly.
