Question by Caramieanne:
How do I know if I have bed bugs? Can you see them?

Best answer:

Answer by ♥TayLee♥
Bed bugs feed for a period of 3 to 5 minutes, after which they are engorged and drop off the host. They crawl into a hiding place and remain there for several days digesting the meal. When hungry again, they emerge from the hiding place and search for a host. If no food is available, the new nymphs may live for several weeks in warm weather, or several months in cool weather. Older bugs may go for 2 months or longer without food.

Everybody in the whole world has bed bugs. No, you can’t see them. There are millions of little animals running around on your bed eating your dead skin flakes at all times. If you CAN see bugs in your bed, then you have other problems… Call an exterminator.

Yes you can see bed bugs. The mites one poster is referring to are not visible and are present everywhere.

you can, but usually don’t. If you are getting up with little rash looking thingys. You are being bitten by bed bugs. If you live in a house, you can get rid of them. you need to close off the bed room and set off two bug bombs. One under the bed, and one in the room. Then you need to bomb the whole house. Then three days later repeat. Just be thankful you don’t have fleas.
