Bed bugs are small insects; adults grow to about the size of an apple seed. They are oval and flattened from top to bottom, allowing them to hide between feedings. Some of their favorite hideouts are near where we sleep, such as the cracks and crevices of beds, box springs, headboards, and footboards. Bed bugs only feed on warm-blooded animal blood, and unfortunately, people are their favorite hosts.
Bed bugs are difficult for people to identify as their appearance changes depending on their life stage and whether they have recently fed. For example, before feeding, adults having a flattened body that is reddish-brown, but after feeding, they turn a dark purplish-red color and become more capsule-like in shape.
Bed bugs are considered a public health threat; they bite us, and those allergic to their saliva may develop a severe reaction, and the bite sites may become infected. However, unlike many other biting pests, bed bugs aren’t spreading diseases to people. What they are spreading is sleepless nights. The biggest concern when it comes to bed bugs is how they affect people’s mental health. The thought of bed bugs crawling around your home and feeding on you as you sleep is enough to interrupt anyone’s sleep patterns!
