What do bed bugs look like?

Bed bugs are small, reddish brown bugs about the size of an apple seed at their biggest. They are very flat and can be found in the seams of bedding, in and under clock radios, around baseboard, light switches, and even under loose wallpaper. Any area that is relatively warm they will seek out. If you find these in a hotel, request that they are removed immediately and make sure that the new room is not abutting the old room even above and below. If at all feasible, check out of that hotel completely!
