You may know that kids can bring bed bugs home from school or a friend's house—but did you know you or your partner could pick up bed bugs at work?

Bed bugs are light-to-reddish brown, oval-shaped, about the size of an apple seed, and don't have wings. They mainly feed on human blood but will also feed on other animals such as dogs or cats. While bed bugs aren't known to transmit diseases, their bites can cause significant discomfort.
