But what are bed bugs and how do you get them? Bed bugs are oval-shaped insects that are about 5 millimeters long as adults. They come out at night and can’t fly, though they can crawl very quickly.

Bed bugs are hitchhikers. Chances are they latched on when you were travelling somewhere before calling your house their home.
