Bed Bug Behaviors & Warning Signs:
Not only do bed bugs tend to reside in people’s mattresses, but they also tend to only feed at night. They like to feed at night because that is when people are usually lying completely still. If any of your skin is showing when you go to sleep, it can make you vulnerable to bed bugs. That is why it is important to take note of where you are being bitten throughout your body. If you notice the bites are showing up on an area of skin that is usually not covered by clothing when you are sleeping, it might be a good idea to seek out a professional bed bug company to receive a bed bug evaluation.
Another warning sign that bed bugs might be present on your mattress would be if you notice any reddish stains or smears on your sheets. These stains or smears usually show up because bed bugs congregate in one spot of a person’s mattress. This is an easy indicator to look for if you believe you have a bed bug infestation. The reddish stains could also mean that you might have smashed some of the bed bugs while you were sleeping. It is important to keep an eye out for any of these bed bug warning signs to prevent any further infestation to your home.
