Bed bugs are one of the most dreaded East St. Louis pests, largely because they are expert hiders. Most bed bug infestations are not discovered until they have already started feeding on the residents of the home. At that point, it is often too late to stop them from feeding and reproducing in a never-ending cycle. The only reliable solution is to call in the pros for effective bed bug treatments, but more on that later.

First, it is important to know the classic signs of a bed bug invasion so you have an idea of what to look for when checking your home for these sneaky pests:

• Small rust-colored spots on your mattress, pajamas, or furniture
• Egg cases within your sheets or mattress
• Outer shells, or exoskeletons, within your sheets or mattress
• Tiny brown dots (droppings) on your mattress
• Red bites on your skin, typically in a line or cluster
• Any live or dead bed bugs in your home
