Bed Bug General

Bed bugs are tiny, reddish-brown, parasitic insects that feed on human blood at night, hiding in mattresses, furniture, and cracks, and are spread by hitchhiking on belongings like luggage and clothing; while not disease carriers, their bites cause itchy welts and can lead to skin infections or anxiety, requiring thorough cleaning, heat treatment (dryer), and professional pest control for eradication, as they are resilient and reproduce quickly.
