Waking up in the morning with a series of red itchy bites all over your body isn’t a great way to start the day. When bed bugs have invaded your home, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Bed Bug Bites

In most cases, bed bug bites will be very itchy and can be anywhere on your body from head to toe. While bed bugs are not disease carriers, they can cause an allergic reaction in some people. If in doubt about the severity and/or reaction to the bites, consult with your family doctor.

What you’ll see may look similar to a flea or mosquito bite. A telling difference is bed bug bites are grouped together whereas a flea or mosquito bite is random and can be scattered in several places.

Signs to Look For

You’ll want to do a search of your bed linens, mattress, even around the headboard. Look for tiny eggs and dark spots, which is fecal matter, on the sheets.

If you find evidence, vacuum thoroughly and dispose of canister contents in a sealed bag. Next, get help from NJ pest control professionals.
