Bed bugs are small, brownish, flattened insects that feed solely on the blood of animals. Bed bugs are very adapted to living with humans. They have done so since ancient times. Adult bed bugs are about 3/16-inch long and reddish-brown, with oval, flattened bodies. Bed bugs do not fly, but can move rapidly over floors, walls, ceilings and other surfaces. Female bed bugs lay their eggs in secluded areas, depositing 1, 2 or more eggs per day and hundreds during a lifetime. Under favorable conditions (70-80°F), the bugs can complete development in as little as a month, producing three or more generations per year. As they grow, they molt (shed their skin) five times before reaching maturity. A blood meal is needed between each successive molt. Nymphs can survive months without feeding and the adults for more than a year. Bed Bugs prefer feeding on humans, they will also bite other warm-blooded animals, including dogs, cats, birds and rodents Bed bugs are active mainly at night. During the daytime, they prefer to hide close to where people sleep. Bed bugs do not have nests like ants or bees, but do tend to congregate in habitual hiding places. Characteristically, these areas are marked by dark spotting and staining, which is the dried excrement of the bugs. Also present will be eggs and eggshells, the brownish molted skins of maturing nymphs and the bugs themselves. Another telltale though less frequent sign is rusty or reddish blood smears on bed sheets or mattresses from crushing an engorged bed bug. Though not known to carry diseases, bed bugs can severely reduce quality of life by causing discomfort, sleeplessness, anxiety, and embarrassment. Bed bugs can live in almost any crevice or protected location. The most common place to find them is the bed. Bed bugs often hide within seams, tufts and crevices of the mattress, box spring, bed frame and headboard.
