Bed Bugs – What do they look like?

Adult bed bugs typically are:

• Close to the size of an apple seed
• 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

Bed bugs over all are:

• Tiny like the size of a pinhead
• Pearl white in color
• Marked by an eye spot if more than 5 days old
