Bed bugs are tiny oval shaped wingless creatures. They are about four to five millimeters in length that you can hardly see. Bed bugs used to crawl, but it is noteworthy that they are swift runner among other insects. Bed bugs are dark brown in color and become reddish when they suck blood. It is hard to find them on brown flooring or furniture but they can be easily seen on white and light surfaces. They are so tiny and have thin body formation that can squeeze and fit easily in minute cracks and gaps. You will seldom find them at open areas; mostly they are used to hide themselves in small splits in the home furnishing.

There are two main kinds of bed bugs that bite humans and animals. The first kind is of common bed bugs also called as cimex lectularius. Large number of them are present in Australia. This kind is commonly present in any nocks and cranny, they spread and breed in areas that meet their nourishment requirements. Second kind are tropical, also known as cimex hemipterus.

Bed bugs are not only breed and distribute in homes, bird's nests etc. but also found on human and animal body.

They act as predators and feed on their host i.e. warm blooded animals. It is worth mentioning that bed bugs never distribute consistently throughout the environment.

Moreover, they also distribute on trees and their leaves and roots.

In homes the warmest place is the bedroom which ensures the presence of bed bugs. More precisely they are present the one place where humans sleep i.e. the bed!

Bed bugs also live and distribute on cloths. It is interesting to note that bed bugs do not remain attached to the fur or feathers; they leave their host as soon as their hunger is satisfied. They are also found in mattress, bed cover, blanket, bed casing, under carpet, behind wallpapers and so on. The proper precautions must be taken to reduce the existence and spread of bed bugs.
