Do you experience itching at night when you lie down in your bed? Isn't that the worse feeling ever? Don't worry as you have landed in the right place and we have done all the research for you to easily and quickly get rid of those annoying bed bugs. 

What Are Bed Bugs?

Bedbugs are small, flat and brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. These bedbugs are not able to fly but can crawl quickly and they usually live in groups. Moreover, female bedbugs usually lay up to 500 eggs which results in the bedbugs getting multiplied within a few weeks. 

Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?

Bedbugs have flat bodies which makes it easy for them to hide and enter your house in clothing, sofas, luggage and used beds. They find a place to hide where they can easily feed on blood such as mattresses, headboards, bed frames and box springs.

These bedbugs gradually scatter in other nearby places and bedrooms as well. 

Do Bed Bugs Bite?

Bedbugs feed on human blood by biting on the exposed skin area at night for around 10 minutes while people are sleeping. The bite is usually painless but becomes itchy after some time. 

How To Get Rid Of Bed Bugs?

First you have to start by identifying the bedbugs by thoroughly examining your bed and sofas.
