Despite their name, bed bugs do not only live in beds. They can hitch a ride on passengers’ belongings and infest planes, trains, subways, buses, taxis and ships. Any residences with large numbers of occupants, such as hotels, motels, hospitals and other health care facilities, apartments, rooming houses, college dormitories and camp cabins, are prone to infestations. Bed bugs can spread through an entire building as they move from room to room and floor to floor.
They can be found in clean and top-rated hotels as well as budget motels. Travelers should be aware that bed bugs may even be lurking in the homes of friends and relatives. Can you tell bed bug bites images? The reddish-brown bug is wingless and six-legged. The body of a bed bug is flat, oval and measures approximately 1/4 inch long. When the parasite has fed off the blood of a human or animal, the body appears larger and darker. Newly hatched nymphs are straw-colored and are only the size of a pinhead.
