Many think it could be due to increased foreign travel or even greater focus on other pests, leaving Bed Bugs to thrive. Other names for Bed Bugs are heavy dragoon, chinche and crimson rambler. Bed Bugs are bloodsucking insects, and are attracted to their hosts by carbon dioxide and warmth. Their bites can cause a range of skin manifestations and even blisters. Finding Bed Bugs can be a bit of a challenge. They are usually nocturnal and can be elusive pests. They prefer beds of course, but can often be hiding in dark corners and crevices.
