Five Signs Of Bed Bugs

Posted on October 21, 2011 with No Comments

Bed Bug Fecal Matter & Stains: Look for stains from blood or fecal matter that bed bugs leave behind.  These signs can sometimes be found on bedding.  Staining does not always mean that you have bed bugs but further investigation should be conducted.

Bed Bug Exoskeleton, Cast or Shed Skins: Bed bugs often leave their dried-up cast skin as evidence!  They often appear to look like dried-out bug shells.

Bed Bug Eggs: Bed bug eggs are often difficult to see with the untrained eye.  You should use a magnifying glass and a flashlight if looking for these rice-sized eggs that are clear to milky in color.

Bed Bugs: Obvious signs of a bed bug infestation is to find the bug, which is often hard to do since they typically feed at night and then go into hiding.

Bed Bug Bites: If you have unexplained bite marks it may be an indicating factor that you are being bit by bed bugs.  Bed bug bites often cause skin reactions, but finding the evidence is key.  Many people do not have a reaction to bed bug bites at all.
