4 signs of bed bugs infesting your home
Please contact us if you see any of these bed bug indications in your home.
1. Bed bug bitesThis is most certainly the most common way for people to discover they have bed bugs. These bugs are bloodsuckers that like to reside in places with easy access to blood at night, such as your bed.
Because bed bug bites are painless, you may not see or feel the marks until the following morning. Bed bug saliva causes an allergic reaction on your skin, causing the bites to produce painful, red welts.
The problem emerges for many homeowners when they try to distinguish between bed bug bites and mosquito bites. One technique is to log when and where you were bitten. Call Escondido Pest Control if you observe that most of your bites are on your feet and hands, which are preferred bed bug targets.
2.Bed bug defecation
Okay, we’ll try not to freak you out, but this is a practical approach for distinguishing bed bugs from other insect bites. Lift your mattress and thoroughly inspect it and the box spring. You can notice bed bugs or observe what they leave behind. Bed bug droppings have reddish-brown stripes. (For an example, see the image below.)
This is, indeed, disgusting. It may also be tough to know what to look for while doing your investigation. To put your mind at ease, call Escondido Pest Control for a free bed bug inspection.
3.Exoskeletons and eggs
The skin of bed bugs deteriorates. An exoskeleton found near the bed frame or mattresses indicates a bed bug infestation. Exoskeletons may also be found in dresser drawers, picture frames, and outlet covers. They like to hide in molting cracks. Bed bug eggs are pretty little, measuring around 1 mm in diameter and white.
4. Active monitors
An active monitor that uses chemical or carbon monoxide lures is another way to determine if bed bugs are present. You may use these monitors to determine if you have bed bugs. However, they are far more costly than just getting in touch with us for a free bed bug inspection, so they are also pretty pricey.
