Bed Bugs
Discreet Service For Bed Bug Service
Bed bugs are reddish-brown and do not have wings. They are usually very flat, except after they have just fed, when they are filled with blood.
Adult bed bugs are 3/8 to 1/4-inches long. Young bugs look like adults, but are smaller. The bugs feed on blood. They like human blood best which is why they live with us. But, they can feed on the blood of our pets, like cats,
dogs and birds.
During the day, bugs hide in tight places near the bed or other places where you sleep at night. At night, the bugs come out of their
hiding places to feed. They find you by sensing the warmth of your body. Bed bugs usually bite people on the neck, arm and shoulders. They
can also bite legs or ankles. Some people are bothered by the bites which can become red and itchy.

Some other bugs that look like bugs feed on bats and birds. It is important to make sure you have bed bugs.
