The worst part of having a bed bug problem is that we don’t know they are in the home until they begin feeding. Since they do not have wings and prefer to stay completely hidden all day long, bed bugs are extremely difficult to spot unless you thoroughly search for them. Contrary to their name, bed bugs do not have to stay in a bed to feed on our blood. They are also found in other fabric-based furniture, curtains, bags, carpeting, and wall outlets. This is why it is essential to know the clear signs of a bed bug problem, as these are the most efficient ways to see that bed bugs are the issue. It is best to find bed bugs in the earliest stages of an infestation because it is much more efficient to treat a few bugs than a whole family of them.

The most common signs of a bed bug infestation include:

• Red spots on the sheets or your pajamas
• Shells or exoskeletons on your sheets
• Small brown spots on the mattress and sheets
• Egg cases anywhere in the bed
• Red itchy bites on your skin, typically in a cluster or line
• Live or dead bed bugs anywhere in the home
