Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on blood. Their bites cause itchy bumps to emerge on the skin.They typically cause itching and irritation in the area, and some people may also experience an allergic reaction.
Just as with other bites, individuals react differently to bed bug bites, and it can take hours or days for these reactions to show up.Some people find bed bug bites itchy and irritating, while others will develop more swollen, painful reactions.Severe allergic responses are rare but can include anaphylaxis, which starts with a feeling of the throat closing up. Anaphylaxis can be life threatening and affect the whole body.
Individuals usually get several bed bug bites at a time, often in groups of three to five. The bites themselves are red and itchy and sometimes have a blister on top.Bed bugs live on blood and are primarily active at night, so bites tend to show up where the skin is exposed at night.Bed bugs must eat at least every 14 days to be able to mate and produce eggs but can also survive from months to up to a year without eating.
There are some things that people can do to lessen the risk of acquiring bed bugs bites.

As a first step we need to clean the bed sheets, pillowcases and duvet. Next, treat the joints between the bed board and the bed frame, the side seams of the mattress, the seams between the mattress and the bed board, as well as the seams between the back side of the bed frame and the wall, the seams inside the cabinet and the skirt around the bed with bed bug powder. Sprinkle bed bug powder evenly over the above areas, don’t use too small an amount, and the next thing you know you can wait for the powder to do its job and eliminate the bed bugs!
