Bed bugs are small and easy to miss. These realistic examples can help you recognize common signs, but bites alone do not confirm an infestation.
Adult Bed Bug
Reddish-brown, oval and flat, typically about the size of an apple seed.
Nymph
Smaller and lighter in color. Young bed bugs can appear pale or translucent.
Bed Bug Eggs
Tiny, pale eggs are often tucked into seams, cracks and other protected areas.
Dark Spotting
Small dark marks may appear on mattresses, bedding, bed frames or nearby furniture.
Possible Bites
Skin reactions vary widely. Bites by themselves are not enough to identify bed bugs.
Think You May Have Bed Bugs?
Bed bugs can be difficult to confirm without a careful inspection. Bites alone do not prove that bed bugs are present. A professional inspection looks for live insects, shed skins, eggs, spotting, and activity around mattresses, bed frames, upholstered furniture, and nearby cracks or crevices.
Signs Worth Checking
- Dark spotting or small blood marks on bedding
- Shed skins or small pale eggs near seams and joints
- Live insects around mattress piping, headboards, or furniture
- Unexplained bites combined with physical evidence
- Bed bug activity reported in a nearby apartment or room
What to Expect
Inspection
Likely harborages are examined to determine whether the evidence is consistent with bed bugs.
Clear Findings
Findings are explained clearly, including where activity appears concentrated and what should happen next.
Treatment Plan
If treatment is needed, the plan is matched to the property, activity level, and occupied areas.
Follow-Through
Preparation, safety directions, and any follow-up needs are explained before service begins.
Homes, Apartments, and Rental Properties
Bed bugs can affect any property and are not a sign that a home is dirty. Early confirmation helps avoid unnecessary treatments and can reduce the chance of activity spreading.
