How Do You Identify A Bed Bug Shell?
Bed bug shells, also called cast skins, are translucent, tan-colored exoskeletons that are shed by bed bugs during their molting process. They are often found in areas where bed bugs hide and infest, such as mattresses, box springs, bed frames, headboards, and baseboards. Bed bug shells are similar in shape and size to live bed bugs, but they are hollow and lighter in weight. When crushed, they will easily crumble into small pieces. If you suspect you have a bed bug infestation, look for these telltale signs of bed bug shells.
