All About Bed Bugs

Even though many people have heard of bed bugs, they might not understand what they are, how they spread, or where they hide.

What They Are

A bed bug sucks your blood. That is why they leave blood spots on a bed and bites on your body. They feed off you at night and hide away during the day. They are reddish-brown and have six legs. People often mistake them for ticks, but ticks have eight legs.

How They Spread

Bed bugs spread through travel. Because more people travel in and out of the country nowadays, bed bugs can easily travel through luggage, clothing, and furniture. They also spread through breeding. If a person lets a bed bug infestation go unchecked, bed bugs can spread all over the house.

Where They Hide

Bed bugs live and hide wherever they can. A few places include in mattress tags, in cracks, under baseboards, in nightstands, in drawers, and in closets. They are small and can move easily through cracks.

The best way to keep bed bugs away is to not buy secondhand furniture, to cut down on clutter, and always check hotel rooms for telltale signs of bed bugs. Another prevention method is a mattress cover, which can suffocate and starve trapped bed bugs.
