Bed Bugs

Bed Bugs are awful little bugs that should bee wiped of the face of the Earth. They are a lot like Mosquitoes but they can;t fly or even jump very far, they live near were you sleep and they suck your blood, their bits make it look like you have a rash of some kind. They live in wood all around your bed or in your box spring. They are reddish- brownish in color, flat and roundish. they can fit in the tiniest crack in wood and under the floor boards, they can even fit into the screw holes with screws in them. Be aware of them they can lay five eggs a day and the eggs hatch every week. your infestation can grow fast. If your not careful it can spread fast beyond your bed to your dressers and other rooms.
How to avoid bed bugs, be careful when selecting a used bed and where it came from.
How to get rid of them call an exterminator and buy a heat gun anything over 110 degrees far. will kill them and hold the gun up to any wood in the room for about 5 to 10 seconds and that will be enough to get rid of most of them. Put all your bedding and clothes in the dryer for about 20 min. to kill any chances that they layed eggs in them or if they are living in your dressers. Check bathroom walls as well.
Check your mattress they will be on the outside of it they like hard surfaces so I found them on the outside seem of the underside of the mattress, but they live and breed on wood.
The good thing about them is that the don't carry any parasites, so you won't get sick. But man they are a pain and if you don't like bugs you'll hate these.
Good luck I hope my knowledge has helped some one else.
