Having trouble sleeping? Do you wake up with red, itchy skin each morning?
Chances are, you have bed bugs. A small insect which lives on the blood of warm-blooded animals and, also humans, bed bugs are reddish-brown.
Interestingly, after feeding blood, they turn bright red. Many Brampton homes have to deal with the pest, and these pesky intruders make hotel managers scratching their heads as well.
The first step in Bed bugs infestation and removal is identifying whether you have a problem. Unfortunately, they are too small to be seen with a naked eye. That doesn’t mean though that you wouldn’t know when you have a bed bug infestation to deal with.
So, what do you do to get rid of the pests? What are the warning signs you need to look for? Here is a look.
- Bloodstains
These tiny insects feed on your blood. Then, they excrete wastes red in colour. This appears as a small cluster of dot sized stains, which are usually rusty in colour.
- You Can See Shells of Bed Bugs
Bed bugs shed their skin or shells five times in their life. Before each shedding, they need to feed on blood. These shells look exactly like bed bugs. The only difference – they are translucent and can’t move. If you see these tiny shells lying on or close to your bed, it’s a sign of infestation.
- Itching on your Skin – A Bed Bug Bite
Do you have itching every day after waking up? Bed bugs bite on areas exposed areas such as shoulder, arms, and face are common. The skin where it bites usually appears as red welts, often appearing in straight lines or rows. Although it is painless at first, it soon starts itching.
- Crawling Sensation on your Skin
A fully-grown bed bug is around 5 mm, the size of an apple seed. And they are nocturnal too. So, how do you find them? They love dark spaces. During the night, if you feel crawling sensation on your skin, it could indicate a bed bug presence.
Though bed bugs don’t carry or spread any disease, the biting is not something to enjoy either. Bed bugs travel from one place to another while hiding in your clothes, handbags or other small items. They multiply fast and can become a pain, should you ignore.
