How Do I Know If I Have Bed Bugs?
As bed bugs are generally only active while we are asleep, it can be hard to identify a bed bug infestation. But here are some common signs of bed bugs:
- Bites: Bed bugs feed on blood, so if you wake up with itchy red bites on your skin, especially in a line or cluster pattern, it may be a sign of bed bugs.
- Blood Spots: Bed bugs leave behind small, dark stains on bedding, mattresses, and other surfaces. These stains may be from their excrement or from the human blood that they have ingested.
- Shed Skins: Bed bugs shed their skins as they grow, leaving behind small, translucent shells.
- Live Bugs: Adult bed bugs are small, flat, and reddish-brown in color and are said to resemble apple seeds. You may be able to see them on your bedding, mattress seams, or other surfaces, especially if you look closely.
- Musty Odor: Bed bugs release a musty, sweet odor that can be noticeable in severe infestations.
It's important to note that not all people react to bed bug bites, so the absence of bites doesn't necessarily mean you don't have bed bugs. Additionally, bed bugs can be difficult to see and may hide in cracks, crevices, and other hard-to-reach areas.
Where Do Bed Bugs Hide?
Despite their name, bed bugs don't just hide in beds. In fact, due to their small size and flat bodies, these insects can hide in a variety of places in and around your home, including:
- Mattresses, Bed Frames, and Box Springs: Bed bugs often hide in the crevices and seams of mattresses and box springs, as well as in the bed frame and headboard.
- Furniture: Bed bugs can hide in upholstered furniture, including sofas, chairs, and recliners. They may also hide in drawers, under cushions, and in the crevices of furniture.
- Clothing: Bed bugs can hitchhike on clothing and hide in the seams and pockets of clothing, as well as in luggage and other bags.
- Carpet and Rugs: Bed bugs can hide in the fibers and edges of carpets and rugs, especially if they are close to the bed.
- Electrical Outlets and Switch Plates: Bed bugs can squeeze into tiny spaces, including electrical outlets and switch plates.
- Cracks and Crevices: Bed bugs can hide in cracks and crevices in walls, floors, and furniture, as well as in the folds of curtains and drapes.
- Other Hiding Spots: Bed bugs can also hide in a variety of other places, such as behind picture frames, in books, and in the folds of wallpaper.
