Bed bugs are small, flat, oval-shaped insects, about the size of an apple seed—around 1/4 inch in length. When they’re young, they’re pale but gradually turn tan and then rusty brown as they mature. After a recent meal, they become swollen and longer, and their color darkens.
Bed bugs have three main stages: egg, nymph, and adult.
Bed bugs come out at night to feed and hide during the day, often in tight, dark spaces that are hard to reach, making it harder to identify a problem. But don’t worry—there are signs to look out for:

No, bed bugs are not a dangerous pest. Their bites do not spread disease. Bed bug bites are itchy, and if scratched excessively, they can result in secondary skin infections.
Unfortunately, dealing with bed bugs can cause anxiety and disrupt your sleep, creating extra stress for you and your family.
Bed bugs are excellent hitchhikers that can sneak their way into your home without you even noticing. They don’t live outside or enter through cracks in the walls but rather travel on items you bring indoors. You might pick them up from places like hotels, public transportation, work, or even a friend’s house. Used furniture, clothing, and bags can also carry them into your home. Since they’re great at hiding, it can be difficult to figure out how they made their way in, but knowing how they travel can help you take steps to prevent them from getting inside in the first place.
