What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are small flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in colour, wingless, range from 1mm to 7mm. and can live several months without a blood meal. The first sign of bed bug infestation is usually the appearance of bites on the arms, neck, torso, or legs. Bed bugs draw no line between the impoverished and the wealthy. In 6 months, 40 bed bugs will reproduce to almost 6,000.
Bed bug bites can occur singly, but more often occur in a unique bite pattern of a linear group of 3-4. The effect of these bites varies from person to person. Typically symptoms are welts and swelling that are itches and last longer than mosquito bites. Some people have no reaction at all. It is common for people to have been bitten and have no visible symptoms for up to 9 days.
