Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation
Bites
Bed bug bites are small, red, and itchy. They often appear in clusters on exposed skin, such as the arms, neck, and face.
Bed Bug Droppings / Blood Stains
Bed bug droppings are small, black, and round. They suck blood and extricate blood, so their droppings look like dried blood stains, very dark. Bed Bugs are often found in the seams of mattresses, bed frames, and other furniture.
Bed Bug Eggs
Bed bug eggs are small, white, and oval-shaped. They are often found in cracks and crevices around the bed. Bed Bugs lay their egg casing in clusters. The egg casings are small and often difficult to see.
Musty Odor
Bed bugs have a distinctive musty odor. If you notice a foul odor in your bedroom, it could be a sign of a bed bug infestation.
Exoskeletons
Bed bugs shed their exoskeletons as they grow. The exoskeletons are very small and are often mistaken for dust.
Bed Bug Hiding Places
Bed bugs are good at hiding, and they can fit into small spaces. They often hide in:
Mattresses
Bed frames
Nightstands
Clothing
Curtains
Furniture
Electrical outlets
Cracks and crevices
If you think you have a bed bug infestation, it is important to call a professional pest control company. They will be able to remove the bed bugs and prevent them from coming back.
What are the dangers of bed bugs?
Bedbugs can survive up to 9 months without a food source and are highly resistant to normal pesticides and other common household treatments.
While bed bugs don’t directly damage structures, the presence of a bed bug infestation can affect the value of a property. It’s important to act quickly if you have bed bugs, or the problem will only get worse and continue to spread.
Bed Bug Prevention Tips
Vacuum and Wash your bedding in hot water regularly
Bed bugs can be killed by washing your bedding in hot water (at least 130 degrees Fahrenheit). Vacuum and cleaning regularly will also suck up these nasty critters.
Seal up any cracks or holes in your home
Bed bugs can enter your home through small cracks or holes. Seal up any cracks or holes in your home with caulk or weatherstripping
Inspect luggage and other belongings before bringing them into your home
Bed bugs can hitch a ride on luggage, so it is important to inspect it carefully before bringing it into your home. Look for signs of bed bugs, such as small, dark spots (feces), eggshells, or live bugs. If you see any signs of bed bugs, do not bring the item into your home.
Use bed bug covers on your mattresses and box springs
Bed bug covers can help to prevent bed bugs from getting into your mattress or box spring.

Bed Bug FAQs
-
Finding bed bugs early is really important to stop them from spreading. Dealing with a small infestation is cheaper and easier than handling a big one. However, spotting small infestations is tricky, as bugs like carpet beetles can be mistaken for bed bugs. If you misidentify them, it gives the bugs more time to spread in your home or move to someone else’s place and start a new infestation. That’s why it’s a good idea to call in the experts. If you suspect you have bed bugs in your home, call McDonald Exterminators for a free inspection. Let us take care of the problem for you!
Bed bugs are only about the width of a credit card. If a crack is large enough to hold a credit card, a bed bug could hide there as well. Some of the place you may find them are:
Around the bed, you might find them near the piping, seams, tags, and cracks on the bed frame and headboard
In the seams of chairs and couches, between cushions, and in the folds of curtains
Drawer joints, under loose wallpaper, behind wall hangings, and around appliances
