Many people believe that you can not see bed bugs with the naked eye but adult bed bugs grow to 4 or 5 mm in length and because they’re slow movers can be seen by observant people.

bed bugs are attracted to humans by their warmth and carbon dioxide. When bed bugs bite they pierce the skin with two tubes. Using one tube it injects the human with saliva, while using the other tube it withdraws blood. If left undisturbed the bed bug will feed for up to five minutes before leaving. It isn’t until sometime later that the bite starts to be felt as a reaction occurs and a need to scratch the bite area is felt.
