Introduction
Bed bugs are small insects that “feed” on the blood of humans and animals. They are reddish-brown in color, oval in shape, and about the size of a apple seed. Bed bugs are not known to carry or transmit disease, but they can cause skin irritation and an allergic reaction in some people.
Bedbugs are attracted to body heat and the carbon dioxide we exhale. They will often bite people who are sleeping because they are warm and their breath is a good indicator that someone is asleep nearby. Bedbugs will bite any exposed area of skin, but they seem to prefer areas where there is less hair, such as the neck, face, hands, and feet.
