Bed Bugs

How to Spot Bed Bugs in Your Home




Bed bugs are small, reddish-brown insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They are a growing problem in homes and hotels, and they can be difficult to detect. However, knowing how to spot bed bugs is the first step in controlling and eliminating them.


  1. Check for physical signs: Bed bugs are often found in the seams, folds, and tufts of mattresses, box springs, and bed frames. They can also be found in cracks and crevices in furniture, such as headboards, sofas, and chairs. Check for the physical signs of bed bugs, including reddish-brown fecal spots and shed skins.
  2. Check for bites: Bed bugs feed on the blood of humans and animals, and they usually bite at night while you're sleeping. Check for bites on exposed skin, such as arms and legs, and look for bite marks that are red, itchy, and often in a line or cluster.
  3. Inspect your bed: Strip your bed of all sheets, blankets, and pillows, and inspect all seams, folds, and tufts for signs of bed bugs. Pay close attention to the edges of the mattress and box springs, and look for bed bugs and their eggs.
  4. Use a flashlight: Use a flashlight to inspect dark, hard-to-reach areas for signs of bed bugs. This includes the corners of the room, the edges of the carpet, and the folds of curtains.
  5. Check for an infestation: If you suspect an infestation, it's important to check other areas of your home, including the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Bed bugs can spread quickly, so it's important to take action as soon as possible.
