Bed Bugs

Bedbugs are ectoparasites so they’re going to feed on blood. As the name implies, bedbugs like living in bedrooms alongside their primary food source. In most cases, they’re going to hide on your mattress and box spring. Staying here allows them to come out at night and feed on your blood. Since bedbugs are only 3/16th of an inch, they can hide exceptionally well. Plus, they’re flat and oval.

Bedbug Causes

Bedbugs invade residential dwellings and motels because they need human blood to thrive. These pests can slip through small cracks on your exterior walls to invade. They sometimes travel from one residence to another. However, it should be noted that many infestations occur after someone spends the night at a motel. When staying at a bedbug-infested motel, your luggage and other bags are going to get bedbugs. These pests will climb into your bags at night and you’ll take them home with you. Unless you get rid of them before bringing the bags inside, your home is going to be infested. These pests can also hide on used items, including furniture and clothes.

If you buy the wrong items, there is a risk that you’re going to have a bedbug infestation soon.

Bedbug Health Risks

Bedbugs can bite and suck human blood. They’ll feed on warm-blood animals, but they prefer human blood. As a result, you’re likely worried that they’re going to make you sick. Thankfully, they will not. These pests do not transmit illnesses. After you’ve been bitten by a bedbug, you may develop a small, itchy welt. The welt is caused by the transfer of saliva.
