Bed bugs are small brown pests that measure about a quarter inch in diameter and they have an appearance that is similar to an apple seed. Although they do not transmit any diseases they can leave itchy bloody wells on your skin. They feed exclusively on your blood and since they are nocturnal, most of the feeding occurs during the night whilst you are fast asleep.
In the past, bed bugs have usually been mentioned in just silly mentions in nursery rhymes. However in the past 10 years there has been a drastic increase in infestations. The National Pest Management Association reports that they have increased almost 71% in the last 5 years. Before 2001, pest control professionals would get maybe one to two calls every year to come deal with these pests.
Nowadays the calls are more frequent, they may receive ten to fifty calls every week from concerned home owners. There has also been an increase in the belief that bed bugs actually exist and are not just a bed time tale.
You may or may not be surprised to know that these pests are not only just found in beds. They can be found in sofas, inside electrical outlets, in chairs, cracks in the wall, cushions,crevices, behind base boards and even behind picture frames. Basically you will find that they can live anywhere close to humans.
The adults can live a year without feeding on your blood, and this is the very thing that makes it difficult to get rid of these insects. Once they settle inside your room or your house, they can start to spread very fast using things such as your luggage, your clothes, the pipes in your house and even just by hitching a ride on you.
