About Bed Bugs
They are small, flat wingless insects that are reddish-brown in color and approximately one-quarter inch long before feeding – about the size and shape of a small apple seed.
When curtains are drawn, lights turned off and you’re snuggled up in bed at last, you start to drift into dreamland, unaware what horror awaits in morning - bitten by bed bugs, small droplets of blood on sheets.
Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped insects that feed on human blood. Usually brown or reddish-brown, turning rusty red after feeding. They hide during day and come out at night to feed on sleeping humans.
