Find Out Bed Bugs Removal Guide

Introduction

• Bed bugs can be quite easy to miss if you don't
  know what signs to look for. They are very common
  in hotel rooms where people are often using the
  same sheets but it's also possible to get them in
  your home. If you're worried that the bed you're
  sleeping in may contain bed bugs then below are
  some reliable ways to spot them -

Check Around The Mattress For Blood Stains
Excrement Spots

• One of the biggest telltale signs of bed bugs is
  bloodstains on the sheets and mattress. You
  should pull the sheets up and inspect all around
  the mattress, including the creases and seams.
  Adult bed bugs are much easier to spot than baby
  bed bugs since they're larger and darker in
  colour. You should get a flashlight and look all
  round the mattress for the bugs themselves and
  any bloodstains or excrement spots.

4
Check Underneath The Bed Frame

• It's very possible to have bed bugs without them
  being visible on the mattress at all. Since they
  like the texture of wood, bed bugs will often
  stay underneath the bed itself and only surface
  at night when they need to feed. You should flip
  over the bed and check all around the frame for
  any appearance of bed bugs.

5
Check The Headboard

• Often, bed bugs will stay behind the headboard
  so they're able to remain in a spot without being
  disturbed. For this reason you should always
  check all around the headboard, including behind
  it. Again, use a flashlight to make them easier
  to spot. If you're staying in a hotel room and
  spot bed bugs around the headboard then inform
  the staff immediately.

6
Check Any Coat Racks

• Although they're called bed bugs, they can
  actually infest other places such as clothing in
  your luggage. This means that you should always
  inspect any coat racks before packing your
  luggage away when traveling as it's very easy to
  spread bed bugs without realizing it.

How to Remove Bed Bugs

• Once you have established that bed bugs are
  present, you'll certainly want to get rid of them
  immediately. How you go about doing this will
  depend on where you're staying. If you're staying
  in a hotel, BB or any other establishment that
  you're not responsible for then you should inform
  the owners immediately and they'll be able to
  take care of the problem.
• If you notice bed bugs in your home then you
  should hire a pest control company to come out
  and they'll be able to get rid of any existing
  bed bugs as well as ensuring they don't come
  back. They'll also be able to let you know about
  any preventative measures that you should take in
  future.
