Bed Bugs

Bed bugs are nocturnal insects that live primarily indoors, feeding on their sleeping hosts' blood. They require the blood of people, animals, or birds to survive, and blood is their sole source of nutrition. The bed bug is a pest that has always been associated with people because our blood is their preferred food source.
