Bed bugs are also referred to as "red coats", "chinches", and "mohogany flats". They are reddish brown or brown in color and range in size from 1/4" to 3/8th ". The adult bed bug is a wingless insect that is flattened from top to bottom.

Bed bugs are blood feeding parasites of humans, poultry, bats and occasionally domestic animals. They feed principally on human blood piercing the skin with a long beak and sucking blood into their stomachs. They are usually active and feed during the night, but they will feed during the day when hungry.

Bedbugs have never been implicated in the spread of disease to humans.

Bed bugs hide in cracks and crevices in walls, furniture, behind loose wallpaper, wall paneling, picture frames and under carpeting. They will also hide in tufts, seams, and folds of mattresses, pillows and bed coverings.

Female bed bugs deposit 3 to 8 eggs per day. A total of 200-500 eggs can be produced by each female. Eggs hatch in 4 to 12 days. Newly hatched nymphs begin to feed immediately. There are five nymphal stages, and it usually takes 35 to 48 days for nymphs to mature.

Adult bed bugs can survive for up to one year without a blood meal

Bed bugs will readily travel 10-15 feet and have been observed to travel more than 100 feet from their established harborage (and back) to feet on a host.
