It is essential to understand that you are not experiencing a problem with bed bugs because your home is dirty or cluttered. Bed bugs are in your home because they are hitchhiking pests and move wherever people take them. Bed bugs live almost exclusively with people because it provides them easy access to their preferred food source; human blood.

These insects move from city to city and structure to structure on people or our personal belongings (coats, luggage, purses, bags). Some of the most common public places people encounter bed bugs are hotels, airports, laundromats, movie theaters, shopping centers, schools, and dormitories.

Most blood-feeding pests like mosquitoes and ticks pose significant health risks to people. They acquire and then spread diseases to their hosts during their feeding process. Thankfully this isn't the case with bed bugs. Currently, they are not known to spread diseases to people.

While it is good news that bed bugs don't spread diseases, they should never be allowed to remain in our homes. Bed bugs bite, and their bites make openings in the skin that can become infected and require medical attention. Additionally, an unpleasant red itchy rash can develop around bed bug bites in some people. And finally, no one can feel at ease in their home and sleep knowing they are a food source for biting bugs.

Bed bugs are external parasites that primarily feed on the blood of humans. If people aren't available, they will feed on other warm-blooded hosts like birds, rodents, dogs, and cats. Bed bugs are structural pests; they live indoors where their hosts live or spend large chunks of time.

These insects are mainly nocturnal and feed at night when their hosts are asleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown and about the size and shape of an apple seed. They are wingless, have six legs, and have a beak-like mouthpart that allows them to pierce the skin of their host and feed on their blood. After consuming a blood meal, the bed bug retreats to its daytime hiding spot to digest the meal.
