How Do I Know If I Have Bed Bugs Early?
The early signs of bed bugs include small reddish-brown bugs crawling on the mattress or bedding, tiny white eggs or eggshells, and dark stains or spots on the mattress or bedding resulting from bed bug droppings. Bites on the skin that appear in a linear or clustered pattern, especially around the neck, hands, and arms, are also a sign of bed bugs. Inspection of the seams, folds, and crevices of the mattress, box spring, and bed frame with a flashlight can reveal the presence of bed bugs at an early stage.
