A bed bug is a little bigger than a tick and flat. It lives in and around your bed and feeds on your blood. These bugs do not just infest the dirtiest of homes and hotels, they are in upscale neigborhoods, movie theaters and hotels among other places.

The bed bug infestation is almost out of control in some areas. In the last three years bed bug infestations have multiplied. They are being brought here because people are traveling more and the bugs can hide anywhere. Bed bugs in New York are almost taking over the city. There are also bed bugs in South Carolina along with bed bugs in Florida and many other places.

If you think you have been bitten by bed bugs, look for red bites that look like mosquito bites after you wake up in the morning. Also, look at your bed for red or black blood spots where you may have rolled over and killed them.

If you are one of the lucky ones that brings bed bugs home with you from a business or is attacked while sleeping in a hotel, make sure that you do not ignore the infestation. Clothing should be washed in hot water. Anything that can be bagged should be bagged in a black bag and put outside to absorb the heat. Anything over 114 degrees will kill the bed bugs. You will need to call an exterminator as well.
