BED BUG CONTROL

What are the bed bugs

Bedbugs are small, flat, parasitic insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in color, wingless, range from 1mm (roughly the size of the letters on a penny) to 5mm (roughly the size of Lincoln’s head on a penny), and can live up to a year without a blood meal. Bed bugs don't jump or fly, and they crawl about the same speed as an ant.
