No one ever wants to
think that they might have bed bugs in their home, but if you find yourself
suffering from bites you can't explain, you might have an infestation on your
hands. Check out some of the more common signs of a bed bug infestation before calling
on a pest control specialist for help.
Identifying Bed Bug Bites
There is a big difference between the way a bed bug bite looks and how bitesfrom other insects look. Bed bug bites typically look like small red or pink
raised welts on the skin, and most find that they have multiple bites within
the same small area of skin. The bites may feel itchy in the hours after you
receive the bite. These bites come from the bugs literally feeding on your
skin. Many experience bed bug bites later in the night when the bugs come out
of hiding.
Finding Bed Bugs in Your Home
There are a few things you should look for and a few places you should look when you fear your home has bed bugs. Make sure that you check under your pillows and underneath your mattress. As these bugs can flatten themselves down to the size of a credit card, you may not see the bugs with your naked eye. You may notice red or brown smears on your mattress or sheets or shells of the bugs along your baseboards. Get professional help at the first sign of an infestation.
