Bed bugs are widely distributed worldwide because human travellers transport garments, luggage, household furniture, and bedding. Although they often inhabit unusual spots, they’re also likely to be present in small cracks around a bed or perhaps in comforters and linens. Their bites can result in itchy welts over the skin.

Bed bugs are found all over the world. There are various bed bugs, but the usual bed bug is adaptable to human surroundings.

However, their typical source of nourishment is human blood.
All About Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are flat, reddish-brown, oval in shape, approximately 3/16-inch long or apple seed size. They become swollen and reddish-coloured straight after a blood meal. Bed bugs are tiny, nocturnal, wingless insects. Also, they feed on humans’ blood and other warm-blooded hosts. They’re oval and grow to 4-5 mm long when wholly developed. Their skin colour is rust-brown to a deeper red-brown. The adult bed bug has no wings and a flattened figure.

With average room temperatures and a sufficient food supply, they can survive for more than 300 days.
