Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are commonly found in areas where people sleep or rest, such as homes, hotels, and dormitories. Bed bugs are known for their ability to hide in small cracks and crevices, making them difficult to detect and eliminate.

Here are some common places where bed bugs can be found:

• Mattresses and box springs
• Bed frames and headboards
• Furniture, such as couches and chairs
• Carpets and rugs
• Curtains and drapes
• Electrical outlets and switches
• Luggage and backpacks

Bed bugs are attracted to warmth and carbon dioxide, which is why they tend to be found in areas where people sleep. They can also be transported from one location to another through infested furniture, clothing, or luggage.

While bed bugs are not known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause itching, redness, and swelling. If you suspect that you have a bed bug infestation, it is important to contact a pest control professional to help eliminate the problem.
