Common Questions About Bed Bugs

1. What are bed bugs?

Bed bugs are small parasitic insects. They are flat and oval shaped, and typically are a reddish-brown color. Since they are parasitic, they feed on the blood of animals and humans. They don’t make nests, but they live in groups and in hiding places.

Bed bugs don’t fly, but they move quickly on floors, walls and ceilings. They are primarily active at night and are attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide of sleeping humans. They primarily spread through infested items and can move between rooms and apartments through cracks and openings in walls.

2. What causes bed bugs?

Typically, outbreaks start when a few bed bugs are introduced to a new environment. Then, they will reproduce and spread.

Common ways they spread include:

• Infested belongings – Bed bugs will travel on infested items like furniture, mattresses, bedding and clothing. When you bring these items into a new environment with no treatment, the bed bugs will reproduce and an infestation will occur.
• Travel – Bed bugs are known to infiltrate hotels, hostels, and other extended-stay locations. Bed bugs can cling to luggage, clothing, and personal items. If not treated when returning home, the traveler will bring these into their home.
• Shared living spaces – Dorms, apartments, and multi-unit buildings are other common places for bed bug infestations to occur. When visiting homes, workplaces, or other public places, you can transfer bed bugs to furniture, carpets, mattresses, leading to infestation.
• Public transportation – In relatively rare cases, bed bugs can be located on buses, trains or airplanes. If a passenger comes into contact with an infested luggage or seating area, the bed bugs will be transferred to new belongings.

3. What are the signs of an outbreak?

Early signs of bed bugs can be detected by small and itchy bites on your skin. Bed bug bites tend to come in clusters of bites rather than single bites.

Other common signs include:

• Blood spots on your sheets or mattress
• The presence of live bugs
• Dark or rusty spots which are bed bug fecal matter
• A musty odor
• Finding eggs that are about 1 mm in size and whitish in color

4. Are bed bugs dangerous?

Generally speaking, bed bugs are more of a nuisance rather a major health threat. Their bites do cause itching and discomfort, however, and the scratching of bites may leave individuals vulnerable to secondary infections. Rarely, bed bug bites will cause allergic reactions. However, they are not known to transmit diseases to humans. While they do feed on human blood, they don’t transmit diseases like mosquitos, ticks or fleas.

The main concern for bed bugs is the stress due to their presence and associated discomfort from their bites. They can cause anxiety, sleep disturbance and emotional distress.

5. How long do bed bugs live?

The life span of a bed bug is between 10 months and one year. This is dependent on the temperature, availability of food, and environmental conditions. Bed bugs are most active when the weather is warmer and they need to feed every 4 or 5 days. However, they can survive for several weeks without eating.

6. Can you see bed bugs with a naked eye?

Yes. Adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. Normally, bed bugs don’t roam around unless they need food. In the day, they will find a hiding place and stick to it. Many people won’t see live bed bugs until the infestation gets out of hand.

You will know if there have been bed bugs if you see rusty or reddish stains on bed sheets or mattresses due to the bed bugs being crushed.

7. Can bed bugs infest my hair or body?

Bed bugs will primarily attach to exposed skin, including the arms, legs, and face. They likely won’t infest within hair or burrow into the skin like other pests.

To avoid bed bug bites, wear long-sleeve and long-pant pajamas to bed.

Bed Bug Prevention Tips

While AmCan Products provides many quality bed bug prevention products, there are various ways to stop the spread when traveling, shopping, heading back to school and more. Here are some tips to prevent more infestations!

Tips for the Office

• Vacuum and clean all areas, including hallways, lobbies, kitchens, and public bathrooms.
• Regularly inspect the business for signs of bed bugs and pay close attention to furniture and upholstery. Bed bugs are also known to inhabit spaces in electrical sockets, in surge protectors, and behind picture frames.
• Reduce clutter in the office to eliminate the opportunity for bed bugs to hide.
• Have a policy in place for employees who suspect an infestation at home. Encourage an open dialogue to help remove any concern of reporting and prevent further outbreaks.

Tips for Shoppers and Store Owners

• Be aware of any stains that are unusual on clothing that you try on.
• Carefully inspect clothing prior to purchasing. Pay attention to inseams and look for signs of sticky white eggs or the bugs themselves.
• Check behind dressing room mirrors and other crevices where bed bugs could hide.
• Instead of tossing clothing on cushions, seats, or carpeting, be sure to hang your items on a hook.
• Immediately wash the clothing in hot water after purchase.

Tips for College Kids and Universities

• Fully inspect your suitcases before re-packing to return to school, especially if you have been travelling during the summer. Also, re-wash clothes before bringing those to campus.
• Prior to putting sheets on your dorm room mattress, inspect the inseams of your mattress and use a mattress cover before putting on your bed sheets.

Tips for Travelers

• When arriving at the hotel, pull back sheets and inspect mattress seams, specifically looking at the corners for stains or spots.
• Before unpacking, inspect the entire room including the headboard and the sofas and chairs.
• If a room change is necessary, make sure it is a room far from the infestation as bed bugs can easily move via housekeeping carts or luggage.
• Place your suitcase in a plastic trash bag or a protective cover during your trip to ensure no bed bugs will attach to your suitcase.
• Use a garment steamer on your luggage when you return to kill any bed bugs and wash all of your clothes in hot water.
