Bed Bugs: What Do They Look Like?

Adult bed bugs typically are:

  • Long and brown, an oval shaped body that is normally flat if it has not fed recently
  • If they have fed recently they are more balloon like in a reddish brown color
  • They have a smelly musty-sweetish odor that is produced through glands on the lower side of the body

 

Young bed bugs sometimes called nymphs typically are:

  • Smaller, whitish yellow in color or sometimes translucent
  • If they have not fed recently they can be very hard to see
