Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed exclusively on blood. 

The first thing one has to be able to do is recognize and distinguish a bed bug from any other insect. An adult bed bug is about the size and shape of an apple seed.

If it has not fed recently it will be flattened and brown. If it has fed it will be round in circumference and reddish. Immature bed bugs have a similar appearance to adults, with the smallest being the size of the head of a pin. You can then learn to look for their fecal spots, which can be easier to detect than the bugs themselves.

If you suspect bed bugs, call Cimex4u. We will spend the time necessary inspecting areas for evidence of bed bugs.
