Signs of Bed Bugs

Bed bugs hide in tiny cracks and crevices and usually visit their host for a brief feed in the few hours just before dawn. To an expert pest controller, signs of bed bugs are easy to spot. But to the untrained and inexperienced eye identifying bed bugs is a little harder.

Here are a few of the common signs that there may bed bugs in one of your rooms.

Bed Bug Infestation Signs

  • Dark/black stains - on the mattress and surrounding area from bed bug excreta.

  • Sweet scent - an unpleasant, sweet, sickly scent.

  • Small dark spots - small dark blood spots on bedding known as 'faecal pellets'.

  • Live insects - despite being small (adult are only 4-5mm long) it’s possible to spot live bed bugs and shed skins.

  • Blood spots - on the sheets or mattress.

Where Will I Find Bed Bugs?

  • Bed frames and headboard crevices 
  • Mattress seams 
  • Carpets and underlay 
  • Skirting boards 
  • Between timber floorboards 
  • In cracked or broken plaster, behind peeling wallpaper 
  • Inside electrical sockets and fittings 
  • Drawers and cupboards 
  • Wardrobes 
  • Bedside cabinets
