Bed bugs (Cimex lectularius) are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in color, wingless, range from 1mm to 7mm (roughly the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny), and can live several months without a blood meal. 

The best way to beat bed bugs is to be informed about them! Bed bugs can infest any home or area. If you think you have bed bugs, don’t panic! With proper identification and control, bed bugs can be removed from any place. Bed bugs do not transmit disease to humans. While they can be very irritating, they are not a serious health threat.
