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
