Bed bugs in a building are not a laughing matter; they can crawl to adjacent rooms and units if you do not combat them. Taking used furniture into a building can give these little creatures access. Bed bugs can also gain access if they are in the possessions of a person residing in an infested place. The parasites can enter a living place if they are on your clothes or luggage, too.

With all the travel activity and people moving around, it makes sense that these blood-consuming insects are widespread. On a positive note, some safeguards for renters are in place; for example, the law mandates that landlords in California give tenants information about bed bugs.

Although it has not been proven that bed bugs spread disease organisms, these pests are still creepy to think about - after all, they do feed on human blood. Bed bugs are not easy to see, either; adults are about inch long. Although the reddish-brown insects can be found in places like apartments and hotels, they may also be found in locations like a California movie theater - really, any place where people are sitting for a long time.

As if their size does not make detection hard enough, bed bugs also like hiding and will usually wait until the middle of the night to feed on a person. Their flat bodies allow them to hide.

An adult female bed bug can yield five adult female bed bugs in a month on average. So, that could turn into more than 600 adult female bed bugs in four months.
