What you should know about bed bugs:

Bed bugs are very small and difficult to spot with the naked eye. They’re reddish brown in color. Their bodies are oval, flat, oblong and smaller than an apple seed.

• Common places to find bed bugs are along mattress seams, in sheets, along baseboards and behind headboards. They also hide in the tiniest of cracks and crevices in the walls.
• Bed Bugs are mobile moving from room to room through wall voids making control difficult. They often hitch a ride on backpacks, luggage and clothing from one location to another.
• They reproduce rapidly so infestations spread quickly. Females lay 10-50 eggs at a time.
• Bed Bugs are nocturnal, meaning that they only come out at night, also making detection a challenge.
• They feed on the blood of humans, rodents and birds. As bedbugs bite a host they excrete blood from the previous victim on to your skin. At the site of a bite, a large oval shaped inflammation or swelling of the skin may occur followed by severe itching.
• Bed Bugs are resilient and can go up to one year without feeding and can hibernate for months at a time.
