Bed Bug Behavior
Bed bugs are parasites that are commonly found in sleeping areas of homes and hotels. They feed off of humans at night. During the day they live near the sleeping locations of their hosts. Beg bugs were virtually eliminated before 1995, but have since reemerged with the increase in world travel.
Bed bugs are small, oval, brownish parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of animals or humans while they sleep. Right after feeding, the bug is a bright red color which gradually fades to brown as it digests the human blood. Bed bugs are born lighter in color and turn brown as they mature. Bed bugs can be quite resilient. Although they typically feed on blood every five to ten days, they are capable of surviving several months without feeding.
Bed bugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but tend to congregate together. Under favorable conditions, immature bed bugs can fully develop in as little as one month and produce three or more generations per year. They do not jump or fly but are good runners and will travel up to 15 feet for a blood meal. They are most active at night and can easily move between adjacent rooms or units via wall voids and utility chases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bed Bugs
How do I know if I have bed bugs?
Signs include small itchy bites in a line or cluster, tiny dark spots on sheets and mattress seams, shed skins, and live bugs about the size of an apple seed hiding in mattress seams, box springs and headboards.
How do bed bugs get into a home?
Bed bugs are hitchhikers. They travel in luggage, clothing, used furniture and backpacks, and can spread between apartments through shared walls. They have nothing to do with how clean a home is.
Can I get rid of bed bugs myself?
Store-bought sprays rarely reach every hiding spot and can scatter bed bugs into other rooms. Bed bugs are one of the hardest pests to eliminate, and professional treatment with a follow-up inspection gives the best results.
