Where do bed bugs bite?

When it comes to bedbugs, it’s important to know where they tend to bite. Understanding their preferred bite zones can help us identify and eradicate infestations effectively.  Bed bugs can bite anywhere on the body, causing discomfort and irritation. 

Bed bugs are more likely to target areas that provide easy access to their preferred food source – human blood. These areas include the face, neck, arms, and hands. These locations have thinner skin and are more exposed during sleep, making them more susceptible to bedbug bites. The bugs are attracted to the warmth and carbon dioxide emitted by their hosts, which is most prominent in these areas. 

When bedbugs bite the face, neck, arms, and hands, they leave behind itchy red bumps on the skin. These bites can cause discomfort and lead to excessive scratching, increasing the risk of infection. Wearing long-sleeved pajamas can provide some protection against bites in these areas but does not guarantee complete prevention. It is important to note that different individuals may react differently to bedbug bites, with some experiencing more severe symptoms than others.

You will also likely find bed bug bites in zig zag or straight line clusters on the body as bed bugs like to bite their host multiple times during their feed.
