What Are Bed Bugs?
Unfortunately, unlike spiders, you can’t just ignore them. Once you’ve been infested, they won’t go away until our exterminator removes them.
They suck the blood of humans, usually while they sleep. Bedbugs will then pierce the skin with a stylet, cutting through the tissue to find blood vessels for feeding. They usually feed on blood for 5-10 minutes and then go back to their hiding spot. They are very small in terms of size. They do not fly, they just crawl. When a female bug starts reproducing, it may lay more than hundred of eggs.
Because of their flat and small body, they have the capability of fitting into small spaces. They are usually found on mattresses. Bed bugs enter our home undetected. You will never know when, only when they start biting you.
Signs Of Infestation
Usually, when people figure out they have bed bugs, it isn’t simply because they found them. They are great at hiding, often choosing small holes in bedposts. If you find fecal spots on your mattress then you probably have been infested. Another way people discover if they have been infested is they find themselves covered in lots of bites or itch a lot upon waking. A musty odor is also present.
