Pest Control Raymore, MO

Bed bugs, contrary to some beliefs, cannot swim, hop, or fly. They are crawling insects that typically move around by crawling and climbing. They can move quickly over floors, walls, and ceilings, but they do not have the ability to jump or fly. Their lack of wings and their body structure prevent them from swimming or hopping.

While bed bugs prefer to stay close to their primary food source, which is human blood, they are not typically found in human hair. They do not have the physical characteristics that allow pests like lice to navigate through hair. Bed bugs prefer to hide in locations where they can easily access a human host while they sleep, such as mattresses, box springs, and bed frames.

Symptoms of a bed bug bite can vary from person to person. Some people may not have any noticeable symptoms at all. However, common signs of a bed bug bite include small red bumps that often appear in a line or cluster, a red rash in the area of the bites, itching or a burning sensation, and in some cases, blisters or hives at the bite site. If you suspect you have been bitten by bed bugs, it’s important to seek medical advice.
