7. How do I know if I have bed bugs?

There are several tell tale signs that bed bugs are present;

• Bites - Note: Not all bites suffered at night are from bed bugs



• Fecal Spots - Dots of dried blood along mattress seams, the boxspring, behind the headboard, or anywhere else bed bugs harbour



• Cast Skins - These appear to be hollowed out bed bugs and are the sheds from the nymphal stage



• Eggs - About 1mm long and rice shaped these can be difficult to see

To be 100% certain that bed bugs are present it is best to have a reputable pest professional perform an inspection.
