Bedbugs are small, brown, and flat. These bugs feed on the blood of pets and humans. Adult bedbugs have a reddish-brown exterior and are about 3/16 of an inch long. Non-matured bedbugs, also called nymphs, are smaller and lighter in color.
Bedbugs move exclusively by crawling and tend to lay about 1 to 2 eggs per day. Bedbug eggs are as small as a speck of dust and are difficult to see without a magnifier.
Bedbugs are resilient and can live for months without feeding. These bugs are also active at night and tend to sleep or nest where people sleep.
Though bedbugs are not known to carry diseases, they can substantially reduce the quality of life by causing discomfort, sleeplessness, anxiety, and embarrassment. According to some health experts, the added stress from living with bedbugs can have a significant impact on the emotional health and well-being of certain individuals.
