Bed bugs are reddish brown flat and oval-shaped insects that feed upon human and animal blood. An adult bed bug is roughly the size of an apple seed, so it can be challenging to detect.

During the day, these insects hide in cracks and crevices of mattresses, furniture, and walls.
Bed bugs can enter a property in several ways. These critters can latch onto second-hand furniture, clothing, and other personal items.
