Comprehensive Guide to Bed Bug Identification, Infestation Signs, and Effective Control

Bed Bug (Cimex lectularius)

1–4 mm, flat, oval, reddish-brown. Swells after feeding. Bed bugs are parasitic insects that feed exclusively on blood. The primary cause of infestations is domestic and international travel. Hotels, motels, and Airbnbs are prime spots for picking them up due to high turnover rates. While they don't transmit diseases, they can cause negative health consequences, including severe allergic reactions to their bites. Getting rid of an infestation is extremely complicated.

Signs of Bed Bug Infestation

Early detection is crucial to prevent prolonged infestations and discomfort. Watch for these common signs of bed bug presence:

• Bites on skin, often in clusters or lines.

• Small bloodstains on bedding or mattresses.

• Dark fecal spots on mattresses and nearby furniture.

• Shed skins from molting bed bugs.

• A sweet, musty odor in infested areas.

These indicators show active infestation and the need for professional bed bug control to protect your home and health.
