Bed bugs have become a growing concern in homes across the country, with reported cases rising by 20% in recent years. These tiny pests are notorious for hiding in mattresses, bedding, and furniture, making them difficult to detect until an infestation is already underway.
Recognizing Bed Bug Signs
Bed bugs are stealthy creatures. Common signs of an infestation include small, reddish-brown spots on your sheets, itchy bites on exposed skin, and discarded exoskeletons. Since bed bugs are nocturnal, you’re more likely to notice bites after a night’s sleep.
If you suspect a problem, acting quickly is essential. The longer bed bugs remain unchecked, the more they multiply, making eradication more complicated and costly.
