Bed bugs become flat, oval-shaped parasites that feed mostly on blood of animals and humans to obtain nutrients. They're excellent hitchhikers who can get from a dense area to something like a rental mortgage by hitching a ride on chairs, furniture, clothes, baggage, and personal items. It can be virtually difficult to get them out of your Arlington County home and business once they've gained access.
Bed bugs are masters at hiding in difficult-to-reach places. They've been known to hide behind cardboard, inside chairs, under floor tiles, and even inside plug outlets. Bed bugs only emerge from their hiding places at night to drink.
