What Are Bed Bugs?

Bed bugs are small, oval-shaped, wingless insects belonging to the Cimicidae family. Adult bed bugs typically measure between

4–5 mm in length (about the size of an apple seed) and have a flattened, rust-brown body that becomes more engorged and reddish after feeding.

They are also known by several nicknames, including:

✅Mahogany Flats

✅Red Coats

✅Chinches

Their flat, narrow bodies give them an evolutionary advantage, allowing them to squeeze into tiny cracks and crevices, such as:

✅Behind baseboards and electrical outlets

✅Inside box springs and bed frames

✅Under carpet edges and flooring

✅Inside seams of furniture and mattresses

✅Behind wallpaper and picture frames

The Hidden Danger: Why Bed Bugs Are So Hard to Eliminate

Bed bugs are nocturnal, which means they’re most active at night, when they leave their hiding places to feed on sleeping humans. A bed bug can survive for months without feeding, making them incredibly difficult to eliminate using DIY methods.

Signs of a bed bug infestation include:

Itchy, red bite marks, often in a line or cluster

Blood spots or fecal stains on sheets, pillowcases, or mattresses

Cast skins and eggshells (bed bugs shed as they grow)

A sweet, musty odor in heavily infested areas

Live sightings of bed bugs in mattress seams, headboards, or behind nearby furniture

If you suspect bed bugs, don’t wait. The longer they remain, the more they multiply—females can lay 200–500 eggs in a lifetime.

Houston’s Bed Bug Problem: Widespread and Growing

Houston’s climate—warm, humid, and densely populated—provides the perfect conditions for bed bugs to thrive. Add to that the constant flow of travelers, shared housing, hospitality industries, and second-hand furniture, and it’s no wonder that bed bugs have become a major problem throughout Houston.

Bed bugs are frequently found in:

Hotels and motels

Apartment complexes

College dorms

Hospitals and nursing homes

Public transportation (buses, rideshares)

Homes with pets or bird nests

Homes that have hosted frequent guests or travelers

Bug State Pest Control has handled bed bug infestations of all sizes across the Greater Houston region. Our local knowledge gives us an edge—we know the neighborhoods, the housing styles, and the behaviors of Houston’s most common bed bug species.

Types of Bed Bugs Found in the Houston Area

While Cimex lectularius (the common bed bug) is the primary culprit in residential infestations, Houston’s biodiversity means other species may be present, especially in rural or mixed-use structures.

Other species found in and around Houston include:

Cimex hemipterus – typically found in tropical climates; known to infest poultry facilities and occasionally homes

Leptocimex boueti – found in West Africa and South America but can be imported by travelers; feeds on bats and humans

Cimex pilosellus & Cimex pipistrella – known to infest bat roosts, sometimes migrating into homes

These species are capable of surviving in bird nests, bat roosts, or attics, then infiltrating bedrooms and furniture below.
