Signs of bed bugs
Now, you may be wondering how to know whether you have a bed bug problem. These annoying pests typically stay in your bedroom, which makes their signs easier to spot. There are fewer places for them to hide.
Below we’ve listed some of the most common signs of bed bugs.
- If you see a bed bug, then you definitely have a bed bug problem. Bed bugs are hard to spot because they are so small and good at hiding. So, if you see a small, brown spot moving around your bed, you know there are other bed bugs hiding out nearby.
- You may also see bed bug droppings or dried blood on your sheets. Bed bug droppings will look like small brown spots on your bedclothes. Dried blood is copper-colored. It will only be a small spot, not a larger area that looks as if you cut yourself.
- Most importantly, if you find small, red, itchy spots on the exposed areas of your body, you likely have a bed bug problem. Bed bugs eat the blood of mammals, like mosquitoes. But unlike mosquitoes they only bite the exposed areas of your body, they do not concentrate on your neck and feet.
What to do if you spot a bed bug
If you see any of the bed bug signs listed above, then you likely have a bed bug problem and you will need to act immediately. Bed bugs can be hard to completely kill. Therefore, it is essential that you don’t panic and that you follow the steps below to completely remove the bed bugs from your Detroit Metro and Ann Arbor area home.
- Wash everything that is washable and removable in your bedroom.
