Bed Bugs
Bed Bug Identification Guide
What are bed bugs?
Bed bugs are a prolific pest that have the potential to find their way into any Massachusetts home or business. Bed bugs are insects that feed on the blood of their host-with people being their favorite host. Though we are the bed bug’s favorite host, they will also feed on the blood of other warm-blooded hosts like our pets, wild animals, and birds.
Bed bugs have a flat, oval-shaped body that is reddish-brown. Short antennae, six legs, and a proboscis (an elongated, piercing mouthpart) are other physical features that help to identify a bed bug. If a bed bug has recently fed, its appearance will change slightly; the body swells and elongates and turns a much darker, deeper red.
