What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown parasitic insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. These pests are excellent at hiding and can be difficult to detect, making bed bug infestations challenging to eliminate without professional treatment. Although bed bugs cannot fly or jump, they crawl quickly and can spread by hitchhiking on luggage, clothing, furniture, and other personal belongings.

How to Identify Bed Bugs

Adult bed bugs are approximately the size of an apple seed and typically hide during the day in cracks and crevices near where people sleep. Common hiding places include:

• Mattresses and mattress seams
• Box springs and bed frames
• Headboards and bedroom furniture
• Cracks in walls, baseboards, and nearby flooring
• Luggage, upholstered furniture, and other items near sleeping areas

Common signs of bed bugs include small reddish or itchy bite marks, tiny bloodstains on sheets, dark spots on mattresses or bedding, shed skins, and live insects hiding around the bed. Bite marks alone do not confirm a bed bug infestation, as reactions vary from person to person.

Why Professional Bed Bug Control Is Important

Bed bugs can hide in very small spaces and may spread to other areas of your home if not properly addressed. Store-bought treatments and do-it-yourself methods may fail to reach hidden bed bugs and can make an infestation more difficult to manage.

If you suspect bed bugs in your home, professional bed bug control is highly recommended. Lawn & Pest Control Xperts can help you understand your pest control options and determine the appropriate next steps for addressing a suspected infestation.
