Bed bugs are typically found hiding in mattress seams, pillow top tufts, and around buttons. Without treatment, the population can rapidly grow and move into cracks and crevices near the bed, like those found in the headboard and side tables.

One of the easiest ways to identify a bed bug infestation is by the telltale red, itchy bite marks on the face, neck, arms, hands, or any other body part while sleeping. However, these bite marks may take as long as 14 days to develop in some people so it is important to look for other clues when determining if bed bugs have infested an area.

Other signs include:

• Dark red blood stains on linens and pajamas.
• Dried feces that appear as small black or brown spots.
• The bed bugs’ shed skins (exoskeletons) after molting.
• An unusual smell – a sweet and musty, yet offensive odor. The insects’ scent glands on the lower side of the body emit this fluid, which attracts other bed bugs.
