Where Are Bed Bugs Typically Found?
As you might expect, bed bugs are most commonly found in or near beds and bedrooms. If you've found an infestation of small insects and pests in your bedroom, it's possible you're experiencing a bed bug infestation.
Bed bugs are usually found around the seams and folds of mattresses, sleeping bags, and bedsheets during the early stages of an infestation. However, as the infestation spreads, it's possible to find bed bugs further away from bedding, in cracks on the headboard, skirting boards, and bedroom furniture.
Bed bugs are notoriously difficult to treat, in part because their eggs are so hardy. It's easy enough to kill your current population of bed bugs within a single treatment, but since bed bug eggs usually survive spray treatments, these can then hatch and spawn a whole new infestation.
How To Identify Bed Bugs
Bed bugs are wingless insects that can be dark yellow, brown or red, and adult bed bugs are around 5mm in length, which is about the size of an apple seed. Adult bed bugs are fairly easy to spot on white sheets and bedding because of their brownish appearance, but if they're nesting on brown wooden floors or other dark crevices they can be difficult to see. In the young nymphal stage, bed bugs are very small which makes them hard to identify on any surface, even white bedsheets.
If you suspect you have a bed bug infestation in your home, it's important to call All Pest Solutions. We can carry out a thorough inspection of your property and correctly identify any infestations present in your home.
What are the Signs of a Bed Bug Infestation?
The easiest way to identify a bed bug infestation is often by looking for evidence of bed bug presence. The following signs may indicate that you have a bed bug infestation:
Bites
One of the first signs of bed bugs that most people identify is bed bug bites. These are red, itchy welts that can occur anywhere that is exposed while you're sleeping. If you identify bites like this, it's important to look for other signs of a bed bug infestation to ascertain whether the bites are caused by bed bugs or another pest.
Droppings
If you see black or brown spots of dried blood excrement, this is a sign that bed bugs are present. You might also be able to spot small, white eggs if you have an infestation; these will be easier to spot on darker surfaces.
Odour
If your infestation is severe, you might also smell a sweet, sickly odour that's quite similar to the smell you might experience when a stink bug is squashed. This smell is produced by the bed bugs' scent glands.
Bloodstains
Bloodstains on your bed sheets or pillowcases indicate that you may have a bed bug infestation. These usually occur when you accidentally crush a bed bug during your sleep. Bed bugs slowly fill with blood as they feed, which can then stain your pillow if you crush the bug.
How to Prevent Bed Bug Infestations
While there is no way to guarantee that your property remains free of bed bugs, there are some measures you can take to prevent future bed bug infestations:
- Don't use secondhand mattresses
- Regularly check your bed and sheets for bed bugs
- Keep your bedroom tidy to minimise hiding spots
- Regularly wash bed sheets and bedding at a high temperature

Can bed bugs make me ill?
Bed bugs and bed bug bites don't usually make humans sick, however, it is possible to have a more extreme reaction to bed bug bites than most people. Possible causes of illness as a result of bed bug bites include allergies, blood loss, and infections. You won't catch any diseases from bed bugs in your home.
How can I treat bed bug bites?
Most bed bug bites will go away by themselves, but if you're experiencing a lot of itching or discomfort because of the bites you can try treating them with calamine lotion. Keep the bites clean and try not to scratch them, or this could cause an infection or greater damage.
