Bed bug infestations can pose significant health risks and cause immense discomfort.

Did you know that a single female bed bug can lay over 250 eggs in her lifetime? That means a small infestation can quickly escalate into a full-blown problem if not addressed promptly. Additionally, bed bugs are incredibly resilient and can survive for months without feeding. These facts underscore the importance of taking swift action to eradicate bed bugs.

Bed bugs are known for their nocturnal habits and feed on the blood of humans and other warm-blooded animals. They prefer to hide in small crevices and tight spaces near their hosts, such as mattresses, bed frames, and upholstery. Understanding their habits and preferred food sources is crucial in effectively combating these pests.


Here are some distinguishing characteristics and physical traits.
