About Bed BugsBed Bugs appear in a few different sizes, see chart below, but tend to be a dark reddish color. Once they feed they will have a truer red color to them and increase in size. An unfed adult averages around 5 mm making them difficult to see on dark backgrounds. The eggs are very small and white in color, if you look close enough you can usually see these little eggs as a female Bed Bug can lay hundreds of eggs in her life cycle of over a year. Other signs to check for are small blood spots or brown spots on the mattress, as the bites tend to leave spots behind.
A Bed Bug bites multiple times in one feeding and can be the source of much discomfort, mentally and physically for you and your loved ones.
