Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs

Size4 to 5mm long
ColourReddish brown with a dark abdomen
Description

Bed bugs are an oval shape, they have a flattened body, two antennae & six legs.

Due to the flattened body of a bed bug they can easily hide in small places such as baseboards, cracks in floors, under carpets, behind loose wallpaper, bed frames, sofas, behind picture frames and many other places which makes them very difficult to detect. They tend to stay together and large infestations will give off a sweet but unpleasant smell.

Signs of bed bugs infestation

If you suspect bed bugs, or want to be proactive, look for live or dead bugs or the skins they can leave behind when they are molting. After feeding, bed bugs will regularly leave behind small spots of reddish-black fecal matter on your bedding, mattress or box springs. 

Bed bug bites can also go unnoticed, and are even often misdiagnosed, making detection that much more difficult.
