Evolved from bird and bat nest parasites, Climex lectaularius, the common bed
bug, is a tiny nocturnal insect that hides in dark crevices during the day and
feeds on human blood during the night. Their oval bodies are flattened and
wingless and a light to reddish-brown in color. Adult bed bugs are 1/4 to 3/8
inch long or about the size of an apple seed. Before feeding, the bed bugs are
as flat as paper, becoming dark red and bloated with blood as they feed, much
like a tick. As they puncture the skin to feed -- usually for 3 to 10 minutes --
they eject an anesthetic that can cause an allergic reaction and the symptomatic
itchy, red welts that bedevil their hosts. However, welts may take a day or two
to develop and not all bed bug sufferers react to their bites, which can delay
detection. Click here for more information bed bugs delray beach
It may be too late for you to notice the infestation of bed bugs especially
if you're the kind of person who doesn't have allergic reactions. As you can
see, people react differently to the effect of insect bites particularly those
produced by bed bugs. Some may feel severe itchiness and would suffer rashes or
swollen bumps while others would really not. There are also those who would only
show the signs of bites later on or just enough for such pests to multiply
around their household.
However, having symptoms of insect bites is never enough to know that you're
being attacked by a particular pest such as a flea or bed bug. In fact, bites
produced by a certain bed bug can be mistaken as that coming from a mosquito.
Even the experts find it hard to differentiate the appearance of bed bug bites
from among other insects. As a result, hunting for bed bugs so you can get rid
of them becomes more of a pain and annoyance.

have been bitten by <b >bed <b

hydrate the skin. Matter of fact it is wonderful for your skin no matter if you
have <b >bed <b

bedbugs away from you while sleeping.
Bed bugs will readily travel 10 to 15 feet to feed but have been observed
traveling more than 100 feet from their established harborage to feed on a host.
Once established, infestations can spread rapidly to adjoining rooms or units
through crawl spaces, wall voids and electrical and plumbing conduits. Adept
hitchhikers, bed bugs can easily enter your home on clothing, bedding, luggage,
used furniture, cardboard boxes, etc. They can be brought home from a hotel stay
or by sitting in a car, cab, bus, train or plane recently inhabited by an
infested person.

performed. This can produce a false sense of control due to a lack of
bites. However, when the <b
