Vampires are not the only blood suckers to roam the planet, bed bugs are right up there with them. The only difference is that bed bugs are actually real and infestations are being reported every day all across the United States.
How do I know when they will try and feed on me?
Bed bugs mostly feed during the nighttime when their victim is in a deep slumber. Although there are some instances where they will feed during the day, such as if you work the night shift.
Their hiding spots can range from anything that is close to you, including inside of your mattress, under the mattress, in the frame, in lamps, behind wall plates, and the corners of walls, especially if you have popcorn ceiling.
What do bed bugs look like?
Their oval shaped bodies are very thin, and they have a brown reddish color to their shell, depending on when it was they last ate. Adults can get to be around 1/4 of an inch. You could compare the looks of them to ticks or tiny roaches.
The bed bug can spread fast, as females can produce around 500 eggs in her life time. Think that is scary? It only takes the nymphs around a month to fully mature, so infestations can spread quick if they are not tended to immediately.
When you are being bit by a bed bug you will not feel it more than likely, even though when they start engorgement it can last up to 3 minutes. This is because they will actually wait until you are in a deep slumber until they crawl on you to feed, talk about a smart insect.
If you have pets in a home that is infested with bed bugs, they are probably being victimized by them too, as they will feed on anything that has warm blood. This includes cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, or anything else with the right blood temperature.
If you are waking up in the morning to notice insect bites on your body, similar to mosquito bites, then you may be a victim of bed bugs.
