Bed bugs are disgusting, tiny, brown insects that are just about 5 millimeters long on average according to EPA.gov. Since they’re so small, it’s easy to gaze over them, but we all need to be more conscious before crawling into bed with these critters!

They feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep says CDC.gov. You’ll often be affected by them while traveling to different, hotels, resorts, motels, etc.

An easy way to identify a bed bug infestation is by looking for bite marks on your face, neck, arms, hands, or any other body parts.
