Bed Bug (signs of infestation)

Indoor environments, primarily in cracks and crevices near human sleeping areas such as mattresses, bed frames, and upholstered furniture.

Obligate hematophages (blood-feeders), typically feeding on humans or other warm-blooded animals.

Nocturnal and elusive; they hide during the day and emerge at night to feed. They leave behind dark spots of digested blood (fecal matter) on bedding as seen in the image.

Risks include itchy skin rashes, psychological distress, and potential allergic reactions to bites. They are considered a significant public health pest but are not currently known to transmit diseases to humans.
