Bedbug Overview
Bed bugs—just the name can cause widespread panic, but much of this fear comes from a lack of knowledge, which can be easily addressed. These pests are small, elusive, and excellent at hiding in mattresses, furniture, cracks, and crevices, which is why infestations often go unnoticed in the early stages.
A common misconception is that bed bugs are only found in dirty places. This isn’t true. Because they feed solely on blood, cleanliness doesn’t determine whether an infestation occurs. They can be brought into homes through luggage, used furniture, or shared spaces. While bed bugs don’t transmit disease, their bites can cause itching, discomfort, and disturbed sleep, and are often mistaken for flea or mosquito bites, delaying proper identification and treatment.

Bed Bug Appearance and Hiding Spots
What do bedbugs look like? Bedbugs are reddish-brown, oval-shaped, wingless insects that feed on blood, mainly humans. Adults can get to the size of an apple seed. They are normally flat, but after feeding, they swell up. They are found mostly in hotels. They can’t fly, but they are incredibly fast. As their name suggests, they hide in beds and feed mostly during the night. During the day, they hide in walls, pipes, electrical circuits, and any nook, crevice, or cranny they can find. They are, however, opportunistic creatures and will bite during the day if they have to.

Bed Bug Life Cycle and Feeding Habits
Female bedbugs lay three to eight eggs at a time, which hatch in six to 14 days and start feeding immediately. A female bedbug can lay as many as 500 eggs in her lifetime. They mature quickly, from 35 to 48 days. They will shed their skin five times before they become an adult. Adults can live up to a year off their last meal. They prefer human blood but will feed on animals if they have to. These include rodents, rabbits, bats, and birds.
Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
So how do you know it’s bed bugs? First off, fleas bite around the ankles. Bedbugs will bite any exposed skin. Bedbugs will leave blood stains on sheets and pillowcases. They will also leave excrement on bedclothes, mattresses, and walls. They leave eggshells and shed skin around their hiding spots. Finally, they stink. Bedbugs secrete a musty odor from their scent glands that you should be able to sense.
