Bedbugs behaviour

Understanding the behaviour of bed bugs will help to find an infestation before it becomes established and to monitor for the presence of bedbugs.
Feeding:
•Appear to prefer to feed on humans but will feed on other mammals and birds as well.
•Will readily travel 5-20 feet from harborage to feed on a host.
•Even though they are primarily active at night, if hungry they will seek hosts in daylight.
•Feeding can take 3-12 minutes.
•The rusty or tarry spots found on bed sheets or in bug hiding places are because 20% of the time adults and large nymphs will void remains of earlier blood meals while still feeding.
