Bed bugs are small brownish creatures which are oval shaped with a size that of an apple seed. They suck blood of humans and animals to survive. Their bodies swell after their meal and look reddish in colour. These tiny creatures cannot fly and they lay around hundreds of eggs in their life span. Their eggs are not visible clearly and resemble like dust so it is really impossible to identify them.

Bed bugs require blood to mature and to fully grow into an adult and they just require a month for the whole process if all the factors are favorable. They can easily move around walls, ceilings and floor and due to that they can infest the whole house quickly.
