How to Visually See Bed Bugs
WouterBed bugs are usually difficult to notice, but if you have a blacklight, you can spot their presence. They are whitish, about the size of a poppy seed, and have an elongated capsule shape. While bed bugs are difficult to see with the naked eye, they can be easily identified in the form of eggs. The eggs stick to the surface that they were laid on, so a vacuum is not an effective way to remove them. However, there are other methods that will get rid of bed bug eggs.
To visually inspect a bed bug infestation, you must start from the bed itself, working your way outward. Make sure to look in corners and crevices, as these are places where the bugs can hide. If you can’t find any bugs in your bed, you may need to call a professional pest control company. A professional has the tools necessary to find bed bugs in the most hidden places.
Another way to look for bed bugs is to look under bed linens. Bed bugs like dark, moist areas. When wet, their exoskeletons will leave red stains. They can also be seen on bedding and clothing. If you see a large number of the red stains, this may be a sign of bed bugs.
