Appearance - Bed bugs are small, usually only 4 - 5 millimeters in length. They have flat, oval shaped bodies about the size of apple seeds. Bed bugs are usually light brown or reddish brown in color but will have a bright red abdomen immediately following a meal.
Behavior - Bed bug bites can often leave straight rows of small itchy bumps on your body. Bed bug bites can cause itchy spots which can lead to infection if continuously scratched. Bed bugs can also bite pets in the home. Some people may not react to bed bugs bites, so while one person sleeping in an infested bed may show bites, another may not. Carefully check your bedding, take off all sheets, and inspect the mattress, paying close attention to the seams. If you see small rust colored, black or brown spots, these may be bed bug droppings. Bed bug droppings are made of digested blood, usually about the size of a felt tipped marker dot. You may also see bed bug skins that have previously been shed. Bed bugs can survive for up to a year without feeding.
