What are bed bugs?

The bed bug population in Virginia and throughout the United States has been sharply on the rise for the last 50 years. Bed bugs are small reddish-brown parasites and are about ¼ inch in length. These small nocturnal insects received their name due to their common habit of hiding out in beds and emerging at night to feed on their human hosts. An adult female bed bug can lay up to five eggs per day, which can quickly lead to a major infestation.

Signs of Bed Bug Activity

It is important to keep an eye out for signs of bed bug activity to detect a problem before a serious infestation develops. Some common signs of bed bug activity include:

  • Small brown droppings

  • Tiny white eggs or egg casings

  • Blood spots on mattress or linens

  • Exoskeletons or shed skins from growing nymphs
