Do Baby Bed Bugs Bite

Don't be fooled by the commonly held belief that only adult bed bugs bite. Baby bed bugs, or nymphs, also feed on human blood and can pose a threat as they may go unnoticed due to their small size. In fact, according to the National Pest Management Association, almost 100% of pest professionals have treated for bed bugs in the past year.

Nymphs require more frequent feeding than adults and are therefore more likely to bite humans. They hide during the day in crevices and cracks and come out at night to feed while their hosts are asleep.

If you suspect an infestation of baby bed bugs, it is recommended that you try washing all bedding in hot water or using insecticides specifically designed for this purpose before resorting to mattress replacement. However, if these methods fail, replacing your bedding may be necessary to fully eliminate the problem.

It's important to note that not all solutions claiming to eliminate bed bug infestations will work for every situation. Seeking professional help from a pest control service is always recommended if you believe you have an infestation in your home.

To prevent harm from baby bed bug bites or larger-scale infestations altogether, regular cleaning and inspection of bedding/mattresses along with protective encasements/covers should be utilized as preventative measures.
