Bed bugs, scientifically known as Cimex lectularius, are small, brownish insects that thrive by feeding on human blood, usually at night. Despite their name, bed bugs are not limited to beds and can be found anywhere around your home. They are known for their hitchhiking abilities, often latching onto luggage, furniture, and clothing, which enables them to spread quickly from place to place.
