Facts You Need To Know About Bed Bugs

What do bed bugs look like? Adults of the common bed bug (cimex lectularius) are about 1/4 inch long, reddish to dark brown in color with flattened bodies. They cannot fly, but can run quickly. Eggs and newly hatched nymphs are pale and very tiny the size of a pin head.

Bed bugs are spread easily by hichhiking on all types of household items, such as clothing, bedding, furniture, luggage, back packs, and animal cages. Although bed bugs prefer to infest wood and fabric to metal and plastic surfaces, they have been found infesting electronic devices, such as alarm clocks, and hollow perches in bird cages.
