Signs of Bed Bugs

Visible bed bugs

Visible Bed Bugs

Adult bed bugs are reddish-brown, oval-shaped insects that are about the size of an apple seed. If you see live bed bugs, especially in and around your sleeping area, it's a clear sign of an infestation.

Bed bugs bite marks on skin

Bite Marks on Skin

Bed bug bites are often grouped together in a small area and may appear as red, itchy welts. However, not everyone reacts to bed bug bites, so the absence of bites does not necessarily mean an absence of bed bugs.

Bed bugs eggshells and odor

Eggshells and Odor

Bed bugs shed their exoskeletons as they grow - empty eggshells and molted skins may be found in areas where bed bugs hide. Infestations may also produce a musty odor, this may also be a sign of bed bug presence.

Management Tips

01

Locate Hiding Spots

Identify areas where bed bugs hide, such as mattress seams, bed frames, furniture, cracks in walls, and electrical outlets. Bed bugs tend to prefer dark and hidden locations.

02

Vacuuming and Steam Cleaning

Thorough cleaning will assist to eliminate the infestation of bed bugs in your home - including mattresses, furniture and carpets. Dispose of the vacuum bag in a sealed plastic bag. Steam cleaning can also be effective, especially for surfaces and fabrics that can tolerate moisture.





03

Use Mattress Protectors

Encase mattresses with bed bug-proof covers. These encasements trap any bed bugs inside and prevent them from feeding or escaping.



04

Non-Chemical Treatments

Cold and thermal treatments can be used to kill bed bugs. In some cases, freezing temperatures can be effective for items that can be safely exposed to low temperatures. Heat treatment can be an effective procedure completed by professionals with specialised equipment to raise the temperature in infested areas, killing bed bugs at all life stages, including eggs.
