Understanding the Symptoms of Bed Bugs?
The most common sign of bed bugs is itchy red welts on the skin. These welts are typically small and round, and they can appear anywhere on the body. They are often mistaken for mosquito bites, but they can be distinguished from mosquito bites by their location (bed bugs tend to bite in a line or cluster) and by the intense itchiness they cause.
2. Blood Stains
Another sign of bed bugs is the presence of blood stains on sheets, pillows, and mattresses. These stains are typically small and brown, and they can be found in areas where bed bugs are active.
3. Bed Bug Feces
Bed bug feces are small, dark brown or black spots that can be found on sheets, pillows, and mattresses. These spots are often mistaken for dirt, but they can be distinguished from dirt by their shape and size (bed bug feces are typically round or oval and about 1/16 of an inch in size).
4. Bed Bug Eggs
Bed bug eggs are small, white, and oval. They are often laid in clusters in cracks and crevices in furniture, walls, and floors. Bed bug eggs are difficult to see, but they can be found with the help of a magnifying glass.
5. Live Bed Bugs
Adult bed bugs are small, flat, and brown. They are about the size of a grain of rice and can be found in cracks and crevices in furniture, walls, and floors. Bed bugs are nocturnal and typically only come out to feed at night.
