How to Tell Which Bed Bugs Bite You
WouterThere are two main ways to identify bedbugs. The first is by the appearance of the bites, which are largely painless during the initial attack. However, over time, most people experience an allergic reaction to the bedbugs’ saliva. As a result, the bites tend to become swollen and red. The bites also tend to appear in clusters or patterns.
The second method involves using special bug-killing solutions on used furniture and mattresses. There are also several types of “bug bombs” that are specifically designed to kill bedbugs. The only drawback is that the “bug bombs” aren’t very effective if they don’t come in contact with the infected area. To prevent the spread of bedbugs, you should call a licensed pest control service. They will be able to recommend an EPA-registered pesticide spray for your home.
You can also look for bedbug feces and blood on the sheets. Usually, bedbugs bite people on body parts exposed to the skin during sleep. The bites may appear in a zigzag or line pattern. They are small red and itchy and can cause skin irritation.
In addition to the bites, bedbugs can leave behind black spots on the bed or bedding. In most cases, bedbugs will heal within a week, but in severe cases, you may need to seek medical care.
