Bed bugs are often referred to as hitchhikers. They hitchhike on old furniture, luggage, clothes, boxes and other items that are brought into the home. Since they are so small, replicate quickly (a female lays 5-7 eggs per day) and hide in a variety of areas they often go undetected until a sizable population is established. Bed bugs bite and suck blood from humans. They are most active at night and normally bite uncovered areas of the body (arms, neck, legs and face).
