Bed bugs love to eat at night, when their meals are asleep on unguarded. Their feasts usually take place in a period of time about an hour or so before the sun comes up in the morning. If pressed, they have been known to eat during broad daylight, though. What draw them to their food are the two things that humans cannot do anything about: our warm bodies, and the CO2 that we exhale out of our warm bodies when we breathe.

To feed on us, the bed bug will insert two hollow tubes into our skin. One tube contains its saliva, which acts as an anticoagulant and an anesthetic, numbing our skins so we don't feel the feeding, and thinning the blood so it won't clot while the bed bug feeds. Mealtimes usually last around five minutes, after which the bed bug should be satisfied, but they have at times gone twice that and really filled up. After feeding, they crawl back to wherever their nest is hidden. Then minutes, or even hours later, you will start to feel the effects of the bite, as the anesthetic wears off.

Bed bugs have the ability to live without taking on a single meal for up to twenty months, but the typical bed bug will feed every five to ten days. They are not attracted to dirt, as most people think, associating filthy living with bug infestations. As mentioned before, it is CO2 being exhaled from our mouths and noses that call their attention to us. They don't eat filth; they eat blood, so having a clean household, and being a diva, will not save us from a bed bug infestation.

Another bit of bad news on the bed bugs is that they carry pathogens around inside of them. Pathogens like hepatitis-B and even plague. The good news is that it has never been shown that bed bugs have caused any kind of medical emergency, and aren't to blame for any diseases being spread. About the worse that can happen to humans is scarring and skin rash from scratching where they've fed on us. However, a bed bug infestation is not to be dismissed or taken lightly, as they have been known to cause the development of delusory parasitosis, which is no small thing.
