What is the Life Cycle of a Bed Bug? | Ehrlich Pest Control

Signs of infestation

If you suspect a bed bug infestation, its important to act quickly. Several key indicators can help you confirm the presence of these pests. One of the most common signs is fecal staining or dark fecal spots on bedding and furniture, which are left behind as bed bugs feed. You may also find exoskeletons shed from molting, as bed bugs shed their skin during growth.

Another telltale sign is bites on the skin, which often appear in clusters or lines, typically on exposed body areas while sleeping. Bed bug bites can cause itching and discomfort, making them a strong indicator of an infestation.

To confirm an infestation, carefully inspect common hiding spots, such as mattresses, box springs, bed frames, and nearby cracks or crevices. Bed bugs often hide during the day and emerge at night to feed in these areas.

If you notice these signs or are unsure about an infestation, professional bed bug control is the best course of action.
