Bed bugs are small common parasites that normally feed on human blood. They ge t the flood to sustain them by piercing through the human skin which is mostly at night as people are dead asleep. They however do not live on the human body and they also do burrow into the skin. They are also very mobile insects and hence are able to move from one spot to another but within short distances. For this reason they normally live near their food (blood) sources. The most common place where bed bugs can be found is on mattresses, specifically along the stitched edges where they use the folds to hide themselves.
They can also be spotted on bed frames, in bed side furniture, in picture frames, behind wall papers, in cracks and crevices or other areas of a room that will provide them with protection, such as carpet edges, behind skirting boards or between wooden floor boards. In general, they are mostly a nuisance kind of pest more than a pest that can cause a serious health threat. There are people who find the bites from bed bugs painful while other people can get reactions because of the saliva that the bed bugs inject while feeding, which may cause localized allergic reactions.
