Biology and Behavior
Bed bugs are small parasitic insects known to feed on the blood of warm-blooded animals. Bed bugs, though not strictly nocturnal, are mainly active at night and are capable of feeding unnoticed on their hosts.
Bed bugs are a people problem, being spread by the movement of people from one location to another
- Except for the egg, all stages of bed bugs from nymphs to adults feed on blood
- Bed bugs are capable of surviving for over a year without feeding
- It may take several weeks for an immature bed bug to fully digest a blood meal.
- Bed bugs can get a blood meal from other bed bugs.
- Generally speaking, bed bugs spend most of their time hiding, preferring undisturbed areas
- While bed bugs are commonly active at night, they will feed in the daytime essentially attacking their host in its sleep.
- Bed bugs will typically avoid crawling on their host when seeking a blook meal.
