What are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small insects that get their name from where you find them, your bed. Bed bugs are thin, oval insects that suck the blood of humans and animals. Bed bugs multiply extremely fast and grow into a reddish color once they are adult size.

Can Bed Bugs Spread Disease?

According the Center of Disease Control , bed bugs haven’t been proven to spread disease. They do bite people which can be itchy, with excessive itching the bite does risk infection. Even though they do spread diseases does not mean they shouldn’t be exterminated. If you have found bed bugs in your home call a pest control company immediately.
