Answers to Your Questions About Bed Bugs

• What do bed bug bites look like?

  

  Bites from bed bugs are typically on areas of the body that are exposed during sleep, such as the arms, legs, hands, face, and neck. Bed bug bites are usually grouped together and are sometimes in a line. Bites usually appear as small red areas that are flat or raised and can be inflamed, itchy, and blistered. In some cases, symptoms don't occur until a few days after you've been bitten.

  It can be hard to tell the difference between a bite from a bed bug, mosquito, or other type of insect, but blood spots on bed sheets and the presence of bed bug feces are major signs of a bed bug infestation.

• What do bed bugs look like?

  

  Bed bugs have small, flat, oval-shaped bodies, and they are wingless. A bed bug has six legs. A bug with eight legs may be a tick or mite. Adult bed bugs are brown in color, but can become reddish after feeding. Unfed nymphs are about the size of a pinhead, tan in color, and very hard to see. Unfed adult bed bugs are about the size of an apple seed. Although you can see adult bed bugs with the naked eye, the trick is finding their hiding spots.

  If you're not sure what type of bug you're dealing with, call Cowleys and let one of our specialists take a look and determine whether any action is needed.

• What are the signs of bed bugs?

  

  When it comes to the signs of a bed bug infestation, there are a few common ones to look for. Bed bugs usually hide during the day and are active during the night while you're sleeping. They hide in mattresses, box springs, bed frames, bedding, furniture, carpets, baseboards, and stored belongings. While adult bed bugs can be seen with the naked eye, you might also notice a brown or black stain from their excrement or bloodstains from crushed bugs.

  Bites on your skin, typically on the arms, legs, hands, or other areas exposed during sleep, can be another sign of a bed bug infestation in your home.
