Signs of a Bed Bug Problem
Since bed bugs are so tiny, it may be hard to spot an infestation at first. However, you don’t have to wait until you’re covered in itchy bites to recognize a bed bug problem. Here are some signs that it may be time to contact us for bed bug treatment:
- Smears on your mattress, pillow, or sheets: Bed bugs hide in crevices during the daytime. They don’t fly or jump, they’ll just retreat to the crevices on or near your bed or fabric items. If your mattress, sheets, or bedding have dark tiny fecal smears or the reddish-brown smears of squished bugs, you probably have an infestation on your hands.
- Bed bug skins: As they grow, they shed their skin five times before reaching maturity. They don’t venture far from the comfort of crevices, so a collection of their reddish-brown skins hidden in areas such as near your headboard.
- Actual Insects: Bed bugs are small reddish-brown oval-shaped insects. They can travel 10-20 feet and sometimes find their way in attached to clothes, blankets, furniture, or luggage.
