Signs of a bedbug infestation can include:

  • small bugs or tiny white eggs in the crevices and joints of your

  • mattress and furniture – use a bright torch to check for these 

  • bites on your skin 

  • tiny black spots on your mattress – this could be their dried poo 

  • mottled bedbug shells – bedbugs shed their skin as they grow 

  • blood spots on your sheets – these can occur if you squash a bug after it has fed 

  • an unpleasant, musty scent in your bedroom 

Bedbugs tend to prefer fabric or wood over plastic and metal, and often hide near to where you sleep – for example, under the mattress or along the headboard.

But they can be found away from the bed in other furniture, along the edges of carpets and even behind mirrors or inside smoke alarms.

BED BUG INSPECTION

​

Inspection for bed bug infestations must be very thorough. Your primary tool is a flashlight. Since bed bugs are cryptic insects and spend most of their time hiding, you will need a flashlight to find them. You must move and/or disassemble some items while searching including beds, dressers, carpets and rugs. While you inspect, be alert for a bed bug smell which has been described as an obnoxious sweetness or fresh, red raspberries. You should also look for accumulations of cast nymphal skins and for stains of blood spots on sheets and linens.

A common location for bed bug infestations is a box spring.

The framework is often made of wood and contains cracks

can crevices suitable for harborage. Other common areas

include wall voids, behind switch plates, interior corners of

bedside tables, under the edges of wall to wall carpeting,

couches and stuffed chairs.
