Bed bugs are small insects that are normally found hiding in parts of the house that have less light and when the opportunity comes, they crawl out and start sucking blood from the home owner or his/her animals. There are many places that these pests can hide within the house as long as there is poor lighting in those places and there is easy access to someone or an animal to suck blood from. Most bed bugs in the house usually hide inside equipment for use at home such as seats, the beds and tables, because these items have small joints and cracks within which they can hide and breed while getting easy access to humans for blood. It is also very common to find the bed bugs inside other materials things in the house such as the clothes, the carton boxes, the bed sheets and the mattress because here, they feel safe because of the darkness and can be sure to find a person to suck from.
