BED BUG FAQ
What do bed bugs look like?

Where do bed bugs come from?
Bed bugs are found all over the world. Before the 1980s, bed bugs were more common in the developing world than in the developed world. The increase since the 1980s could be in part due to the increase of international travel or resistance to insecticides.
The decline in the bed bug population after the 1930s in the developed world is believed to be due to the use of DDT. The exact cause of the growing bed bug population in the last 30 years is not clear.
Bed bugs are introduced to homes, hotels, condos, and other buildings by humans. They do not enter from outdoors on their own. They are “brought in” pests.
Bed bugs are best adapted to human environments. They thrive in settings where humans live.
What do bed bugs do?
Bed bugs are parasites and very elusive. They are nocturnal creatures that come out at night to feed exclusively on blood.
Bed bugs can live 12+ months without feeding.
Bed bugs have six life stages (five immature and an adult stage). They will shed their skins through a molting process throughout multiple stages of their lives. The discarded outer shells look like clear, empty exoskeletons of the bugs themselves. Bed bugs must molt six times before becoming fertile adults.
Bed bugs have NOT been found to be carriers of diseases.
How do you find bed bugs?
Bed bugs are very elusive. They like to hide in the smallest of areas.
What are you looking for? Here are some common signs of bed bugs:
- Live bed bugs in any stage of the life cycle.
