Bed bugs, those tiny reddish-brown pests, roughly the size of an apple seed, infestations typically go unnoticed until the problem becomes widespread. These pests have flat, oval-shaped bodies, six legs, and two antennae extending from their heads. Wingless, they undergo a noticeable transformation after feeding on blood, their bodies elongating and bloating. Spotting them isn’t easy; even their young, nymphs, resemble adults but are smaller and lighter in color, adding to the challenge of detection.

Bed bug bites can present differently from person to person, but they usually share certain identifiable traits. These bites often manifest as small, red bumps accompanied by itching, sometimes appearing in clusters or linear patterns. Additionally, they may cause swelling and inflammation, occasionally leading to raised welts or blisters. While bed bug bites can appear on any body part, they’re commonly found on exposed areas like the face, neck, arms, and hands. Unlike certain other insect bites, bed bug bites typically lack a central red spot.

A common method through which bed bugs infiltrate homes or businesses is by hitchhiking on infested furniture, luggage, or clothing. This occurrence often transpires after a stay in a hotel or rental property known to be infested, or when introducing used or second-hand furniture into a space. Additionally, bed bugs may migrate from adjacent rooms, particularly in multi-unit structures. Furthermore, bed bugs can be encountered in public transportation, including buses, trains, or taxis.

Adult bed bugs, ranging from 5 to 7 millimeters in length, are easily seen without magnification. Nevertheless, they prefer hiding in cracks, crevices, and mattress seams during daylight hours, becoming predominantly active at night to feed on human blood. When examining multi-occupancy rooms for bed bugs without aids, the process can be exceedingly time-consuming. Hence, it’s recommended to enlist assistance from a professional canine bed bug detection team, capable of inspecting a room within minutes.
