Description and habits
These tiny insects, no bigger than an apple-seed, come out during the night to feed on your blood.
They inject a type of anesthesia that prevents you from the realization that you are being bitten, until you wake up with small, red welts on your body. However, not everyone produces an allergic reaction to the bites. In fact, it is estimated that 70% of people do not show any signs at all until you actually see the bugs, blood stains or fecal matter from the insects. Bed bugs are extremely hard to get rid of once they have invaded your home. They can live a year without eating, rapidly reproduce and survive temperatures from freezing to over 110 degrees. And they just keep coming back, no matter how many times you wash your sheets and clothes.
