Bed Bugs: Should You Be Worried?

A Look at the Facts

Bed bugs are tiny insects - about the size of an apple seed - that feed on human blood. They are usually active at night, and they can cause itchy, red bumps on the skin.

Bed bugs are not known to transmit any diseases, but they can be a nuisance. They can cause anxiety and sleeplessness, and they can also damage bedding and furniture.

Bed bugs are often found in hotels, motels, and other places where people sleep. They can also be found in homes, apartments, and other places where people live. They can be spread by luggage, clothing, and other items that have come into contact with bed bugs.

There are a number of things you can do to prevent bed bugs from infesting your home. These include:

• Inspect your luggage and clothing for bed bugs before you bring them into your home.
• Wash your bedding in hot water and dry it on high heat.
• Vacuum your floors and furniture regularly.
• Seal up any cracks or crevices in your walls and floors.
• Call a pest control company if you suspect you have bed bugs.
