What are bed bugs? Bed bugs are parasites that feed off the blood of their hosts while they sleep. About the size of an apple seed, they spread to other areas through furniture, purses / bags, and clothing. If you think you have a bed bug infestation, it is important to start a treatment plan as soon as possible. Waiting for the problem to resolve itself is futile. Bed bugs can survive months without food. Furthermore, a female bed bug can lay 200-250 eggs in its lifetime so it is crucial that steps are taken to prevent a full blown infestation.
