Everybody in the whole world has bed bugs. No, you can't see them. There are millions of little animals running around on your bed eating your dead skin flakes at all times. If you CAN see bugs in your bed, then you have other problems... Call an exterminator.

Bed bugs feed for a period of 3 to 5 minutes, after which they are engorged and drop off the host. They crawl into a hiding place and remain there for several days digesting the meal. When hungry again, they emerge from the hiding place and search for a host. If no food is available, the new nymphs may live for several weeks in warm weather, or several months in cool weather. Older bugs may go for 2 months or longer without food.

you can, but usually don't. If you are getting up with little rash looking thingys. You are being bitten by bed bugs. If you live in a house, you can get rid of them. you need to close off the bed room and set off two bug bombs. One under the bed, and one in the room. Then you need to bomb the whole house. Then three days later repeat. Just be thankful you don't have fleas.

When their big enought, yes u may see them. It depends on how much blood they suck.
If u wake up with little itchy rashes all the time. Then u may have bed bugs.! But, u may also have allergies from certain fabrics. Clean ur sheets and linenes in hottt water, with bleach or bleach alternitive. Buy antibacterail spray or bed bug spray, and spray ur bed down, and turn over ur mattress! if its a bad infestation, then u will need to buy a new bed.
If u have pets, u canget fleas in ur bed!

If you have bed bugs, you will have bites on your body, some dark spots on the sheets and you will SEE THEM.
Bed Bugs range in size from pinhead to about the size of a tick. The size depends on the age of the bug. It has nothing to do with how much blood it drinks from you.
DO NOT TRY TO TREAT YOURSELF!!!!!DO NOT SPRAY ANY CHEMICALS ON YOUR MATTRESS.
GET A PROFESSIONAL TO TAKE CARE OF IT.
If you have any further questions, drop me an email.
You should cover the mattress with a good zippered mattress cover.

Yes you can see bed bugs. The mites one poster is referring to are not visible and are present everywhere.
