BED BUGS CONTROL
What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are six-legged nocturnal insects that feed on the blood of humans or warm-blooded animals. The most common bed bug, Cimex lectularius, is the species most adapted to living with humans.
Adult bed bugs are mahogany to red in color and are flat and oval-shaped. They grow no larger than ¼ inch. Immature bed bugs (nymphs) resemble the adults, but are smaller and somewhat lighter in color and can appear translucent.
Bed bugs can live inside mattresses, baseboards, box springs, headboards, and many other cracks and crevices around the house, and they can lay 200 to 500 eggs during their lifetime. They can also travel on or in clothing, shoes, bags, luggage and more which can cause a bed bug issue. Under normal room temperatures and with an adequate food supply, bed bugs will typically live up to a total of 316 days.

What do I look for?
It is a common misperception that bed bugs are not visible to the naked eye. Mature bed bugs can be seen and identified — they are approximately the size of an apple seed. When changing your bedding, look for signs that bed bugs are present:
Tiny red splotches or stains
Shell casings or fecal matter (dust-like particles)
Since bed bugs are nocturnal, another obvious warning sign would be suspicious bites that occurred at night.
Though people experience different physiological reactions to bed bug bites, these bites are usually red and visible and generally appear in clusters of three on arms and legs and can be very itchy. The bite patterns result from frequent disruptions to the bugs during “feeding,” which may cause them to make several attempts in the same area.
