Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?
Bed bugs can be virtually anywhere. The only place they cannot live is in the continent of Antarctica. They are tiny, brown colored insects that feed on warm blooded mammals; people being their meal of choice. Bed bugs are also nocturnal, which is how they came to be known, feeding on humans as they slumber, smaller colonies stick to hiding on mattresses, headboards, box springs and bed frame. As their colony grows bigger they spread. The more there are, the more spread out they become. They can hide in tiny fixtures, behind outlet and light switch plates, behind door frames, within picture frames, tiny nooks in alarm clocks, wherever they can squirm into in furniture, closets, literally anywhere.

Bed Bug Bites
Bed bugs have two primary needs; one is to feed on blood and the other is to find the perfect undisturbed, well secured hiding place to digest their meal. Bed bugs dislike being out in the open. They crave the tight enclosed areas. The bed bug’s mouth is very complex. Its mouth stays tucked under its body until feeding time. When their mouth comes out to feed, they have a part that acts as a saw to pierce through the skin and blood vessel, followed by another part of their mouth to inject an anesthetic and an anticoagulant. The host cannot feel the bite and the wound won’t clot, allowing a free flowing meal. Once a bed bug feeds, it swells a little and goes from a brownish color to more of a reddish color. They are unable to fly but they can crawl; and crawl quickly!
