Signs of Bed Bugs
People often call after noticing bites, but bites alone are not enough to confirm bed bugs. A better approach is to look at the full picture: mattress seams, box springs, furniture edges, upholstered pieces, luggage areas, stains on bedding, shed skins, or live insects in cracks and folds.
Homes, apartments, hotels, and short-term stays all present slightly different clues, which is why a quick phone conversation or photo review can help customers move more confidently toward inspection or treatment.
Check seams, tags, folds, and edges where insects can hide close to the sleeping area.
Headboards, baseboards, nightstands, couches, and nearby cracks can all show signs of activity.
Luggage stands, hotel room bedding, and recently traveled items are all worth evaluating early.
