About Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs are tiny brownish-red parasitic insects that feed on blood, often at night while you sleep. They hide in mattresses, bed frames, and furniture crevices. Signs of bed bugs include itchy bite marks on your skin, small rust-colored stains on bedding, or seeing the bugs themselves in mattress seams. A bed bug infestation can spread quickly and is very difficult for homeowners to eliminate on their own. Professional treatment is required to completely eradicate bed bugs.
