Adult bed bugs can be seen with the naked eye, while the nymphs and eggs may require a magnifying glass for detection. However, there's no need to scrutinize your entire house with a magnifying glass. Instead, keep an eye out for reddish-brown fecal stains on your mattress, box springs, and sheets. You may also spot mahogany or reddish oval bugs with elongated or flat bodies (their appearance varies depending on their blood consumption). Bed bugs tend to hide in various places, including electrical outlets, behind headboards, picture frames, wallpaper, mattress crevices, creases in nearby upholstered furniture, and cracks between baseboards and walls.

One telltale sign of a bed bug infestation is waking up with itchy bed bug bites. These blood-sucking pests feed on humans to obtain amino acids, iron, and protein from the blood. In addition to sustaining their own lives, female bed bugs require blood nutrients for egg production. A mattress is a great place for them to hide and then feat on a sleeping person. A single female bed bug can lay numerous eggs throughout her lifetime, giving rise to hundreds of offspring. The nymphs that hatch from these eggs promptly begin feeding on hosts, undergoing multiple growth stages (instars) before reaching adulthood. The entire life cycle of bed bugs, from eggs to reproducing adults, typically spans from five weeks to four months.

Bed bugs will travel by piggybacking on a host. This can include luggage, pant legs, a pet, or even on used furniture or clothes purchased at a thrift shop. Even the finest hotels can get bedbugs- not from dirty travelers, but simply from the luggage that has been in contact with other luggage in a plane. It is estimated that up to 20% of homes in the U.S. will experience a bed bug problem
