Kissing Bugs

/in /by

Kissing bugs feed on animals like raccoons, opossums, squirrels and rats. Two of the most common are the bloodsucking conenose bug,   and the western bloodsucking conenose bug. Kissing bugs got their name about 100 years ago because they draw blood from the face of the victim. Conenose bugs will enter homes in suburban and rural areas and most people who have been attacked by these pests don’t know they have been bitten or react to their bites. Allergic reaction to the saliva may cause itching, swelling and other symptoms. Kissing bugs are rarely seen during the day but they might fly to lights at night. They can carry Chagas disease.
