The following are common signs of bed bugs and can be symptoms of a possible infestation:
Small red to reddish brown fecal spots on mattresses, upholstery or walls.
Molt bed bug skins, their white, sticky eggs or empty eggshells.
Red, itchy bite marks, especially on the legs, arms and other body parts exposed while sleeping.
Although the actual bite of bed bugs is painless, most people develop an allergic reaction to the saliva injected by the bug as it feeds. Swelling and itchy, red welts can be signs of a bed bug infestation. However, some people do not have reactions to bed bug bites at all. In addition, bites from other insects, such as mosquitoes, are often mistaken as bed bug bites. Unlike many other pests, bed bugs are not known to spread disease to humans.
If you notice signs of bed bugs or suspect you have a bed bug infestation, it is important to contact A1 Exterminators to confirm the infestation and we can recommend a course of treatment.
