What Are Bedbugs?

Bedbugs are a type of ectoparasite that feeds primarily on blood. While they can eat animal blood, they prefer human blood. As the name suggests, bedbugs hide in bedrooms across the United States. They’ll try to hide in your mattress, so they can stay close to their food source. Most bedbugs are 3/16ths of an inch in length.

Why Do I Have Bedbugs?

Bedbugs can enter your home for numerous reasons. Therefore, it is hard to know why they’ve entered your home. Sometimes, they have hitched a ride in your luggage or on your clothes. They can also travel from one apartment to another. If your close neighbor has bedbugs, you’ll likely get them too. Bedbugs create big problems for motel, hotel, apartment, and condo owners. Some people will experience a bedbug infestation because they’ve brought contaminated furniture or clothing into their homes.
