Bed Bug Extermination Washington Dc
Bed bugs are nocturnal, reddish-brown insects that feed on blood. Their bodies are flattened from top to bottom. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed and can be seen by the human eye. Young bed bugs are much smaller and almost colorless. They feed on people until they’re full, then crawl away to a hiding place. Left undisturbed for about five days, a bed bug will shed its skin and become dormant (like a bear does during hibernation). It then feeds again, going through a total of five developmental stages before reaching maturity.
Bed bugs will feed on any warm-blooded animal, including cats, dogs and other household pets, but prefer human blood.
Though bed bugs are not known to transmit disease, they can be extremely unpleasant. They feed on any warm-blooded animal, including cats and dogs but prefer human blood. Bed bug bites do not cause serious medical problems; however, they can result in skin rashes, itching and secondary infections as a result of scratching the bite area.
