Tucsons highly acclaimed entertainment, educational, military and advanced technological industry sectors, welcome thousands of overnight business and leisure travelers each year. However, anywhere people sleep and gather in numbers, the potential for bed bugs increases exponentially. Hitchhiking in luggage, laptops, and even cell phones, these nocturnal menaces can cause distress, sleepless nights and an overriding anxiety for humans. As a rise in bed bug infestations has taken hold of the United States in recent years, bed bugs have spread to commercial properties and into homes. At Arizona Pest Control, we suggest all Southern Arizona homeowners and renters familiarize themselves with bed bug behavior in order to prevent bed bugs from entering their homes.

Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius, are attracted to human body heat and the exhaled carbon dioxide of humans at rest. Nocturnal, bed bugs hide during the day, coming out at night to feed on human hosts. By inserting their beaks into the flesh around the head, neck and upper extremities, bed bugs feed on humans for about ten minutes at a time, before retreating to their hiding places, undetected.

About the same size as ticks or small cockroaches, adult bed bugs are reddish-brown or mahogany in color and flat. Female bed bugs are round, while males are more oval shaped. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed.
