Bedbugs feed on blood.
Bedbugs are mostly nocturnal. They are active at night. So they feed on your blood while you are sleeping.
Most bedbug infestations begin on your bed. They harbor in the crevices of your mattress.
You can see them.
Usually, the first sign of bedbugs is you or your family have itchy red bumps in the morning.
Bedbugs don't transmit disease and they are rarely directly harmful to people. Some people are allergic and allergic reactions can be dangerous.
Bedbugs have several stages in their life-cycle, but really only two different looks, adults and nymphs or juveniles.
Bedbugs are visible to the naked eye. All their life-cycle stages and their eggs are visible. So are the exo-skeletons they discard as they grow.
Heat kills them - a normal household clothes dryer is hot enough on the hottest setting.
Extreme cold kills them.
Certain chemicals kill them.
Starvation kills them, but not for many months.
Water doesn't drown them.
The washing machine doesn't kill them.
Fogging your home doesn't reliably kill them.
Professional pest control companies use heat or chemicals. Sometimes both. Often in two or more separate treatments.
One of your most powerful tools will be mattress encasements.
Expect to spend several weeks to many months getting rid of bedbugs. There will likely be expenses and a surprising amount of effort and stress.
