Bed bugs live on blood, so they are attracted to the closest source they can find. Human skin provides an easy source since our skin is open to the air and easy to access. Bed bugs are attracted to the easiest open source close to a vein.
How Long Do Bed Bugs Feed On A Person?
The average bed bug may need about 10 minutes of feeding on a blood source until it is satisfied. Bed bugs will move quickly if they sense the person they are feeding on is going to move, and they will continue feeding until they get their fill of blood.
