Bed bugs are small, flattish insects that resemble apple seeds in shape, color, and size. They are a problem primarily because they feed on human blood and tend to infest bedding, mattresses, box springs, and other furniture. Their bites cause itchiness, the occasional rash or allergic reaction, and general annoyance. Since they bite at night, the anticipation of getting bitten can also disrupt sleep.
