Bed bugs are two words no one wants to hear. They can be a pain to deal with and remove from your home. But what are some early signs you might have them? Look for bites on your skin, especially those that are in a line. Bed bugs have one food source: you. One other sign is stains in your sheets. This can be from blood from a bite or crushed bugs. You might also notice an unexplained smell around your room. This is from the growing infestation. Ultimately though, the only surefire confirmation is seeing a bed bug in the flesh. From there, I highly recommend contacting your local pest control.

Once you contact the professionals, there are some steps you can take before the pros arrive. Strip your bedding and wash it on the highest heat setting possible. If you have to wash in batches, be sure to keep what isn’t being washed in bags or plastic containers, which can prevent the spread of the infestation. You should thoroughly inspect your room or mattress to see where the bugs are hiding. And you can also invest in a mattress encasement to starve the bugs.

More often than not, people pick up bed bugs from travel. So, do some research on the bed bug reports to your travel destination. If you’re especially worried about picking up bed bugs from a hotel, be sure to fully inspect your room for any and all signs before unpacking.
