Signs of Infestation…
If you wake up with itchy areas you didn’t have when you went to sleep, you may have bedbugs, particularly if you got a used bed or other used furniture around the time the bites started. Other signs that you have bedbugs include:
- 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
If you suspect an infestation, remove all bedding and check it carefully for signs of the bugs or their excrement. Remove the dust cover over the bottom of the box springs and examine the seams in the wood framing. Peel back the fabric where it is stapled to the wood frame.
Also, check the area around the bed, including inside books, telephones or radios, the edge of the carpet, and even in electrical outlets. Check your closet, because bedbugs can attach to clothing. If you are uncertain about signs of bedbugs, call us for an inspection.

Where do they hide in your room?
Bed bugs are located in places where they can find shelter. Especially in bed, specifically on mattresses (at the seams, under the buttons and labels), on the structure of the bed such as the headboard. Also, the furniture near the bed such as the bedside tables and the seats and chairs.
How to detect Bedbugs?
When it comes to detecting the presence of bed bugs it is very important to keep in mind that they hide very well in the narrowest cracks and can survive for a long time without feeding.
They are usually located in the mattress itself, the structure of the bed or around it, such as the head of the bed or the sockets and switches of the bedside tables.
