\"\"<\/a>The old saying \u201cSleep tight, don\u2019t let the bed bugs bite\u201d, used to only be thought of as a cute nighttime saying that was told to kids as they were being tucked into bed at night.\u00a0 Sadly, these nocturnal nibblers have made a huge comeback into present day life and some New Jersey residents are now experiencing fierce bites on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Before a full sized bed bug<\/a> has eaten, it is a small flat brownish colored insect that is about the size of an apple seed.\u00a0 These oval shaped bugs are sometimes mistaken for ticks<\/a> or baby cockroaches<\/a>.\u00a0 The nymphs (young bed bugs) resemble the adults but are lighter in color and are much smaller too.<\/p>\n

A bed bug <\/a>prefers to do its dirty deed during the wee hours of the morning when humans are in a deep sleep.\u00a0 Like tiny little vampires, bed bugs will insert two spikes into your skin when it\u2019s dinner time.\u00a0 First the bed bug will inject its saliva, which contains an anesthetic so you won\u2019t feel their bite, and then an anti-coagulant so your blood will flow freely. Nice!<\/p>\n

Each bed bug<\/a> takes between five and ten minutes to receive a full blood meal.\u00a0 Sometimes a bed bug will start and stop its feeding several times during this time period, often because we humans move and disrupt their feeding ritual.\u00a0 Once a bed bug is done feasting on your blood, these creepy bugs will scurry away to their safe hiding place so that they can digest their \u201cfood\u201d\u2026ie\u2026your blood.\u00a0 Along the path to their hiding spot, you can often see a trail of excrement (digested blood) left behind in their tracks.\u00a0 Yuck!<\/p>\n
