Bed Bug Feeding Habits

  • Sucks blood from preferred host (humans).
  • Alternate hosts for bed bugs include, but are not limited to, mice, rats, poultry, pigeons, song birds, bats, dogs, cats, ferrets, rabbits, pet birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, gerbils, and chinchillas.
  • Feeding may take anywhere from 3 to 12 minutes, mainly after midnight and until dawn.
  • After feeding, the bug quickly returns to a harborage area to digest the meal over several days.
  • Leaves dark fecal sports on mattresses, bedding, clothing, walls, ceilings and other places they hide.
  • Bed bugs can go months without feeding, therefore, they may already occupy a "clean" dwelling.
  • Multiple, painless bites may leave itchy welts
