Bed bugs are widespread and have been found in houses, churches, apartments, hotels, schools, hospitals, dormitories, airplanes, and movie theaters.
They use their straw-like mouth parts to suck blood from warm-blooded animals such as humans, bats, and birds.
Adults are oval-shaped, flattened front to back, and wingless. bed bugs hatchlings are so small they can pass through a stitch-hole in a mattress.
At maturity, they are 4-5 mm long and 1.5-3 mm wide. They are light brown when hungry but after a feeding on blood, their abdomen looks bright red, red-brown, or blackish. bed bugs may be mistaken for small cockroaches but unlike cockroaches, which scavenge human food, bed bugs feed only on blood. They remain hidden during the day and actively feed at night. Their bites are painless but the bite wounds can be extremely itchy for days later. Bed bug’s abdomen swells while taking a blood meal from a human host. Bed bugs can ingest seven times their own weight in blood, which would be the equivalent of an average-sized male drinking 120 gallons of liquid. If disturbed, alarmed, or crushed, they leave dark stains (fecal spots), often on sheets and bedding.
