Bed bugs are generally active at night, but will travel and feed during the day if necessary. These pests find their human hosts, first, by detecting carbon dioxide released from breathing, then by warmth radiating from the body.

They can seemingly vanish into your sofa, luggage, between mattresses, electrical sockets… almost anywhere.
