Introduction
Bed bugs are small, oval, non-flying insects that belong to the insect family Cimicidae, which includes three species that bite people. Bed bugs occur around the world and the insects are most commonly found in developing countries. However, they have made a strong comeback in developed countries in recent years, particularly in accommodations where there is frequent turnover of occupants.
The common bed bug (Cimex lectularius) prefers to feed on humans and is found worldwide. They can also feed on other warm-blooded hosts such as bedbugs dogs, cats, birds and rodents. They prefer to hide close to where people sleep or rest during the day such as houses (including hotel rooms), apartments, shelters
Bedbugs (or bed bugs) are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. They often enter your home undetected in luggage, clothing, and used beds or couches. Bedbugs
Bedbugs (or bed bugs) are small, oval, brownish insects that live on the blood of animals or humans. They often enter your home undetected in luggage, clothing, and used beds or couches. Bedbugs do not have nests like ants or bees but tend to be found in groups in hiding places around a room such as:
- Along seams in the mattress
- In cracks along baseboards and moldings
- Under loose wallpaper and picture frames
Bedbugs can be an especially frustrating pest because they hide during the day which makes it difficult to find them when doing inspections. If you think you may have a bedbug infestation, it’s important to contact a pest control professional immediately!
The common bedbug doesn’t grow much longer than 0.2 inches (0.5 centimeters) and can be seen by the naked eye to the astute observer. Bedbugs get their name because they like to hide in bedding and mattresses.

The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is leading the nation in developing new strategies to fight back against these bloodsucking parasites. In addition to aggressive public outreach programs designed to educate New Yorkers about prevention and treatment, we recently instituted a new regulation that requires landlords and pest management professionals to start using more effective methods for getting rid of bed bugs after one treatment fails.

Help stop the spread of bedbugs by reporting them!
If you think you have bedbugs, it’s important to report them and get the problem taken care of. If you live in New York City, call 311 or use their app. For other areas where bedbugs are found, check with your local health department to find out who to call.
Your landlord must be informed about any bedbug problems in the building or apartment so that he/she can take steps to avoid tenant exposure and control infestations within individual units and common areas of the building or apartment complex.
Bedbugs are often brought into homes on clothing (particularly clothing worn during sleep), luggage, used beds/bedding items such as mattresses/box springs which have been infested in another location (e.g., hotel rooms). In addition they may be introduced through donated furniture or clothing that carry eggs from an infested source outside of your home; they could also be carried by another person living inside or outside your home; they may hitchhike on pets; they may even become established after being inadvertently transported through materials like firewood gathered outdoors during camping trips!
