Recognizing Signs of Bed Bugs
If you suspect a bed bug infestation but don't know what to look for, below are the most common signs.
Visible Bed Bugs
While adult bed bugs are small, they are still visible to the naked eye. Look for them in the seams, folds, and crevices of your mattress, bedding, and furniture.
Blood Stains on Sheets
Bed bugs may leave behind small blood stains on your sheets or pillowcases after feeding. These stains often appear as small reddish-brown spots.
Dark Spots or Smears
Bed bugs produce dark fecal spots that resemble minor ink stains. These spots may be on your mattress, bedding, or furniture.
Eggshells or Shed Skins
As bed bugs age, they shed their skins, leaving behind translucent shells. Look for these eggshells and molted skins in mattress seams and other hiding spaces.
Musty Odor
In severe infestations, bed bugs can emit a musty or sweet odor. If you notice an unusual smell in your bedroom or living space, it could signify a large bed bug population.
Red, Itchy Bites
Bed bug bites often appear as small, red welts or bumps on the skin. They may be clustered together in a line or a zigzag pattern and are typically itchy or uncomfortable.
Bed Bug Exoskeletons
As bed bugs grow and molt, they leave behind their exoskeletons. They can be found in mattress seams or behind headboards.
Bed Bug Treatment FAQ
Bed bugs often hitch a ride on luggage, clothing, secondhand furniture, or shared furnishings—even clean, well‑kept homes are vulnerable. Apartments, hotels, public transportation, and furniture resale stores all increase exposure risk.
Unfortunately, bed bugs are not attracted to warmth and a blood meal, not to dirt. Good housekeeping may make it easier to spot them early, but an infestation can still happen in spotless homes.
Common signs include: itchy, unexplained bites (often in lines or clusters); small blood or dark spots on bedding or mattress seams; shed bug skins or shells; tiny eggs or eggshells; and a musty, sweet-and-stale odor. Checking mattress seams, box-springs, bed frames, and nearby furniture is a good start.
Over-the-counter sprays, “bug bombs,” or DIY home remedies rarely eliminate bed bugs. These methods often miss bugs hidden in cracks, box springs, or furniture, and may even drive them deeper into hiding, making the infestation harder to treat.
AllPro offers professional-grade pest control treatments—typically a combination of targeted chemical applications and heat treatments.
Before any professional bed bug treatment, it helps to declutter, launder all bedding and linens on high heat, seal clothing or fabrics in bags, and remove excess items from drawers or closets. This reduces hiding spots and helps the treatment reach all infected areas. Without preparation, dead bugs or eggs may remain untouched.
Because bed bugs can lay eggs that survive initial treatment, most effective plans include a follow-up treatment about 2–3 weeks after the first. This helps catch newly hatched bugs before they mature and reproduce.
Not necessarily—simply discarding infested items can spread bed bugs if they escape during the move. A professional treatment is safer and often more cost‑effective. Proper mattress encasements and heat treatment usually save mattresses and furniture.
Bed bugs are not known to transmit disease, unlike mosquitoes or ticks. However, bed bug bites can trigger skin irritation, allergic reactions, insomnia, stress, and anxiety. The psychological toll of living with an infestation is often the most significant health concern.
Bed bugs are notoriously resilient, hiding deep in cracks, laying eggs, and surviving months without a blood meal. Professional treatment by trained technicians, such as those at AllPro Pest Management in Charleston, SC, gives you the best chance of eliminating the infestation and preventing recurrence.
