Bed Bugs
Bed Bugs are wingless insects in the family Cimicidae of which there are many species but the common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) is the species that feeds mostly on humans and can live within our environments. They are about 4-5mm long, flat & oval and reddish brown. They have a more reddish color after feeding. They are parasites and only feed on blood. They are extremely good at hiding so their presence is usually noticed by seeing shed case skins, brown or black stains from feces, or noticing bites. Bites usually leave itchy welts on people but some don't react at all. Some people can develop worse symptoms but Bed Bugs are not known to be vectors for diseases.
Bed bugs can be brought into a home from used furniture, luggage, schools, hotels, movie theaters, & more. Once inside, they reproduce quickly and can live almost to a year old. They hide in tears in mattresses/box springs, mattress seams, bedding, clothes, bed frames, dressers, end tables, baseboards and almost anything else you can think of.
