Be sure to inspect various areas including headboards, bed frames, mattresses, door and window frames, light fixtures, wall hangings, tables, chairs, sofas, and curtains.
Bed bugs typically leave noticeable, itchy, red bite marks on the skin, commonly found on the neck and arms.
Another telltale sign is their excrement, appearing as small dark spots on sheets, mattresses, bed frames, pillows, blankets, and other frequented areas. They may also leave behind small bloodstains in these locations.
Discovering deceased bugs is another clear indication of an infestation. Once bed bugs have infiltrated the structural elements of a building, only pest control professionals can effectively eradicate them.
