Introduction

Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on human blood. An adult bed bug is about the size of an apple seed, and can live for about a year without a meal. They hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, dresser tables, inside cracks or crevices, behind wallpaper and under any clutter or objects around a bed. There are no health risks associated with bed bugs other than they cause skin irritations and loss of sleep. Your first clue that you may have a bed bug infestation is the bite marks you may find on your body. Bed bugs will bite exposed skin while you are sleeping. The bites often appear in a line or cluster. You also may notice small spots of blood on your sheets, pillow cases and mattress cover. If you find signs that you may have bed bugs in your home then look around the bedroom as they are most likely to be found near where you sleep. Look for black spots which come from the drying excrement of the bugs. You also can search for the bugs themselves by checking some of the hiding places listed above. If you do find evidence of bed bugs in your home, it’s important to know that these pests do not spread diseases to humans, but their presence can make it very difficult to get restful sleep at night.

Bed bugs are not a health risk in and of themselves; however, an infestation can be quite itchy and irritating for those who have sensitive skin. Bed bugs also cause anxiety when you see them crawling around your bed or other furniture. The best way to deal with bed bug infestations is through prevention methods rather than extermination. The following steps will help prevent the spread of these tiny pests:

• Vacuum regularly – Remove all clutter from your home, especially around beds and couches where they tend to hide; this includes under mattresses, behind headboards and dressers, inside drawers, etc. Vacuuming regularly will remove any eggs that may be laying dormant in these places as well as their hatched larvae (known as nymphs), which are very small in size compared to adults but still visible under certain conditions if looked at closely enough).
