Few quick facts about bed bugs: The adults are small brown bugs that look like a thin apple seed. They are about ¼ inch long and can be seen with the human eye. The babies are much smaller and are not easily seen. They feed on blood, mostly of humans at night while we are sleeping. We don’t usually feel them feeding because they inject an anesthetic like substance into our skin before they bite.  Most people who are bitten, though not all, present with itchy bumps or welts. After feeding, bed bugs return to their hiding places, where they spend the majority of their time. Bed bugs typically hide in cracks and crevices close to where we sleep,  but can also be found anywhere humans spend a good deal of time resting.

Entomologists have tested bedbugs and found they are becoming more resistant to chemicals.   That said, the future of bed bug control is in heat.
