Signs of Bed Bugs
By feeding on human and animal blood, bed bugs are able to survive. When they aren’t full of blood, adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. They have a brownish hue to them. It’s impossible for them to fly, but they’re quick on their feet when it comes to climbing walls, floors, and even ceilings. Continue reading to learn more about bed bugs.
Various parts of the house can harbor bed bugs, which can be found almost anywhere. It is common for them to live in small groups, hidden in dark areas. Because their nighttime snacks are located directly above them, they are often found in mattresses. Since they are flat and small, they can easily find a seam and slip into the core of your mattress undetected.
While they can be hard to see, there are some pretty clear signs you can look for when searching for bed bugs:
- Blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases.
- Dark or rusty spots of bedbug excrement on sheets and mattresses, bed clothes, and walls.
- Bedbug fecal spots, egg shells, or shed skins in areas where bedbugs hide.
- An offensive, musty odor from the bugs’ scent glands.

What are the Dangers of Bed Bugs?
When bed bugs bite, they inject a chemical that acts as an anesthetic in the area of the bite. As a result, you won’t feel anything while the bugs are feasting on blood. This explains why you can have multiple, even hundreds, of bedbug bites and not wake up.
Despite the fact that bed bugs do not transmit disease, the chemical that they inject into the body can have an adverse effect on humans. Some people are very allergic to the chemical, and break out in a rash. The rash, and possibly raised welts, may last as long as a few weeks before completely clearing up.
