Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are small, flat insects that feed solely on the blood of people and animals while they sleep. Bed bugs are reddish-brown in color, wingless, range from 1mm to 7mm . They are attracted to body heat and the carbon dioxide in expired air, which is how they find their host. To obtain a blood meal the bed bug pierces the skin of the host and injects saliva. This saliva has an anticoagulant property which makes the blood flow more easily. Bed bugs ingest their meal rapidly only taking 5-10 minutes to engorge themselves.the bites are in groups in a line or look like a rash then its most likely Bedbugs, unlike Fleas and Mosquito's they are not often seen as they do not like the light.
