Bed bug bites can leave itchy, bloody welts on the skin and can cause allergic reactions, such as severe itching. Bites are painless, however their toxic saliva is what causes the itchy welts. Bed bugs have not been demonstrated to transmit any human diseases.
The mouthparts of bed bugs are especially adapted for piercing skins and sucking blood. Like most sucking arthropods, they inject saliva during feeding, which has an anticoagulant property. Bed bugs respond to warmth and carbon dioxide of the host and quickly locate a suitable feeding site. They tend not to live on humans and the only contact is for a blood meal. Most blood feeding occurs at night, and they generally seek shelter during the day and become inactive while digesting the blood meal.
Bed bugs hide in a variety of locations, mostly close to where people sleep. This includes in cracks and crevices, mattress seams, sheets, furniture, behind baseboards, electrical outlet plates, and picture frames. Bed bugs are often in hotel rooms, where they can travel from room to room.
