Bed bugs hide in the sheets, springs, mattresses, bed frames, and cracks of buildings. They have also been known to hide under wallpaper. They become active at night traveling to the host for a blood meal. This meal usually lasts only about 5 minutes. It is then time to return to their lair.

They will congregate, and are usually found with fecal material and eggshells, surrounded by a characteristic, sweet-smelling odor, which may become offensive in massive infestations. Bedbug infestation is diagnosed by identification of specimens collected from the residence.

Bed bugs have not been linked to transmission of any disease yet. However, they have been shown to harbor organisms of plague, relapsing fever, tularemia, Q fever, and hepatitis B. The transmission of hepatitis is possible by contamination from crushing the bug, contamination from infected feces, or from regurgitation during the bite.

They have become less of a nuisance over the last fifty years due to improvements in household cleanliness. Additionally, the use of effective insecticides have helped to reduce the problem. There is a resistance to some insecticides, but it varies by region.

The way to treat for bed bugs is to thoroughly clean bed cloths, mattresses and pillows. Insecticide is then used to treat the bed frame, springs, slats and nearby crevices around doors, windows, and baseboards.
