Dealing with bed bugs

Wednesday, January 13, 2010
Bed bugs are wingless parasites that bloodsucking animals, including humans. They spend the day in cracks in walls, furniture, or behind wallpaper, where they are difficult to find. They are called bed bugs because they usually feed on people while they sleep at night. In the night, when the lights have been turned off, it leaves its hiding place and crawls down the walls in search of man.

The most likely places to be bitten are the face, shoulders, arms, and legs. Although they are blood-sucking parasites, bed bugs do not transmit any disease and for most people the bites are no more irritating that a flea, mosquito or sand fly bite. But for some people, the bite produces swelling, irritation, and other nasty allergic-type reaction.

You can get more information about bed bugs on insects book or visiting website that provide complete information about bed bugs including bed bug bite picture. If you already have bed bugs, infested beds and mattresses should be disposed of, fumigated, or treated with insecticides.
