Signs of Bed Bug Infestation
Early detection is key to preventing big problems and timely treatment. Knowing what to look for will save you time and stress. Here are the most common and obvious signs of a bed bug problem:
Bite Marks on Skin
You may notice small, red, itchy welts, in clusters or in a line. These appear after you’ve been asleep, as bed bugs are nocturnal feeders.
Blood Stains On Bedding
There may be small blood spots on your sheets, pillowcases, or mattress, caused by bites or crushing the bed bugs in your sleep.
Fecal Droppings
Check for dark, rusty-colored spots on bedding, furniture, walls, or even electrical outlets. These droppings are a sign of bed bug activity.
Eggs & Shed Skins
Bed bugs lay tiny, white eggs (about the size of a pinhead) in hidden areas like mattress seams, furniture crevices, or along baseboards. You may also find translucent, shed exoskeletons that are left behind as bed bugs grow.
A Pungent, Musty Smell
In severe infestations, bed bugs release a foul, musty smell from their pheromones. This smell is often described as like spoiled raspberries or moldy fabric.
Bed Bug Types in the US
All bed bugs are similar, but there are slight variations across properties in the US.
Cimex Lectularius (Common Bed Bug)
Cimex lectularius is the most common bed bug species, found in both residential and commercial properties worldwide. These pests are notorious for hiding in small crevices like mattresses, box springs, bed frames, carpets, and upholstered furniture. They also feed on human blood and leave itchy, red welts as evidence of their presence. This bed bug’s ability to adapt to human environments and resistance to some pest control methods makes it a persistent problem.
Cimex Hemipterus
Cimex hemipterus is another type of bed bug, found in warmer climates, in Texas, Florida, and other subtropical areas. They are similar to Cimex lectularius in their feeding habits and nocturnal nature, though they have a broader habitat range. They infest indoor spaces like homes and hotels, along with outdoor structures. As such, they are slightly more adaptable to different environments.
Bat Bugs
Bat bugs are related to bed bugs but live in areas where bats roost, like attics, barns, or caves. They feed on bats, but when bats leave their roosting areas, they may enter homes in search of a new blood source, including humans. They look and behave like bed bugs but are less common and require different treatments to get rid of them.
